Birth and background

Morgan Lofting was born on February 2, 1940, in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.

Her early credits were primarily in voice acting, establishing her in the field before she appeared in live-action projects during the 1980s. Her foundational entry remained rooted in animation dubbing.

She later appeared as Mom in the comedy The Night Before (1988).
