    She is by far one of the greatest voice actresses I know, can do any role, and sometimes I have to be reminded that it is her when she performs, she's that good, also I heard that she could sing hide show

    Most recognized for her roles as Katara in "avatar the last airbender," and Tinkerbell in the recent movie..... well, "Tinkerbell", and Rose/Huntsgirl the under-appreciated "American Dragon: Jake Long", I see Mae as an actress who knows how to emote, get into character, and go from innocent to serious no prop.

    and with that, She can also sing... I know, she isn't exactly "famous" for it, and I never could find full versions of the Christmas songs she performed, but from the demos I've heard from her songs, she's talented, and deserved to at least sing again sometime... (which I was hoping for in the Tinkerbell movie).

    Still,she is an incredible actress

    With varying roles from random-crying-girl-in-the -background to the hot, lead girl in a popular animated show, I think her range of work takes a lot of skill. And since no one's perfect, I gave her a 9.5. hide show

    With varying roles from random-crying-girl-in-the -background to the hot, lead girl in a popular animated show, I think her range of work takes a lot of skill. I have read her profile on imdb, and I know imbd isn't exactly accurate, but oh well. She has gone from such little roles, to having so many lines and important parts. In Avatar: The Last Airbender, in which she plays Katara, she is absolutely wonderful. She always hits the right mood. I personally don't think that the writers of the show could have picked anyone better than Mae Whitman. I hope that once Avatar is over that she will be cast as a very important character in many other movies and shows. She deserves it. As of right now, she is only going to be in future American Dragon episodes and 3 movies to come out in 2008:

    Nights in Rodanthe
    Spring Breakdown
    Tinker Bell

    I'm not sure how major her roles are in the first two are, but she is the lead actress in Tinker Bell apparently. And just for that I think I'm going to go see that movie.

    Mae whitman had begun her carreer with a tyson chicken commercial...which she beat her mom out for. after that...she started to become even more talented and work with many movies and shows. her talents grew in acting. she starred in two great shows: avatar and american dragon on disney channel ....i think....

    grand voice of katara hide show

    Thanks to her, we got to experience all of our favorite characters fully. Since cartoons in themselves do not look human, the only things that bring their stories and ideas to life are through the voice. She has been getting her hand--er voice-- in all the right shows. Making many immensely popular and riding the upcoming stardum of them. But don't get me wrong, this amazing actress deserves every bit of it. From range to technique she could put so many women out of voice work if she dedicated herself fully. Not to mention she is as gorgeous as each of the characters she plays.

    Katara! Sweet! hide show

    From that two word summary, you can tell that she voices katara from the series avatar the last airbender. she's voices it very well, but other then avatar the last airbender, she does other stuff too.

    Mae Whitman was born in Los Angeles, California on June 9th, 1988. She has lived in Los Angeles all of her life. Mae started her acting career at the age of six. Just like when most people started. She stared in many pilot episodes and then went into some movies.

    From there she recorded some songs for a movie and then got the biggest role yet, the one for voicing katara on avatar the last airbender. overall, she's a super talented person and well be remembered by all the katara fans.
