Biography

Nicole Jaffe's professional career was primarily defined by her extensive experience in voice-over work, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of animation and entertainment.

Notably, she is most famously recognized as the voice of the intelligent and book-smart Velma Dinkley in the beloved Scooby-Doo cartoons, a role she held from 1969 to 1973, preceding actress Pat Stevens, who took over the character after Jaffe's departure.

Following the conclusion of The New Scooby-Doo Movies in 1973, Jaffe married and left Hanna-Barbera Studios, subsequently pursuing a new career path as an agent for actors and actresses at the prestigious William Morris Agency, a decision she made a year later, in 1974.

Since then, Jaffe, now known as Nichole David, has remained an agent at the same company, William Morris Agency, for over four decades, a testament to her dedication and success in the industry.

In addition to her work on Scooby-Doo, Jaffe has also appeared in various film roles, including Betty Smith, the determined young woman trying to win the heart of Elvis Presley in The Trouble with Girls (1969),and as the free-spirited hippie girl in the dune-buggy in Disney's The Love Bug (1969).
