In this special episode of Real Reel Talk, we take a heartbreaking look at the life and tragic fate of Judith Barsi, the young talent behind some of the most beloved animated characters of the 1980s. Best known as the voice of Ducky in The Land Before Time and Anne-Marie in All Dogs Go to Heaven, Judith's bright future was cruelly cut short in an unthinkable act of violence.
We’ll explore her early rise in Hollywood, the warning signs that went unnoticed, and the devastating reality of her final days. We'll also reflect on her legacy—how her performances continue to touch audiences decades later and the lasting impact of her story on the entertainment industry.
It’s a difficult but important conversation about abuse, overlooked cries for help, and the responsibility we all share in protecting the most vulnerable. Join me for this tribute to Judith Barsi, a star whose light was extinguished far too soon but will never be forgotten.

Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
