Not sure what to say?

Watching 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' (1964) on NBC tonight, December 12th, 2024. I did some research and found Janis Orenstein. What an extraordinary way to n\be immortalized for eternity, making children feel the magic of Christmas while bringing back loving holiday memories for adults, like myself. May Janis Rest In Peace while her lovely voice lives on in perpetuity.

Watching Rudolf on its 60 year anniversary. Loved the song "There´s Always Tomorrow" and discovered Janis recorded it as a young girl. No song was ever sung so beautifully. So sad to know she died young. Bless her soul.

It still hurts that Janis passed away so soon.. Especially since she was considerably younger than a lot of the other voice actors in the special's cast too, only being 16 years old when she recorded her dialogue and song as Clarice... I'll never forget your beautiful voice and singing voice Janis. Thank you for giving Clarice her soul and contributing much joy across the world. May you continue to rest in peace and I hope your family found tranquility...

I always loved Ms Orenstein. Especially as Clarice. She was my favorite of all the reindeer. I´ll miss her soothing melody of "There´s Always Tomorrow." It inspired me never to give up on my dreams. She was the Christmas candlelight that sparked my confidence higher, and my mother and I will always treasure her. And so, I created a poem to show how much I miss her. And it goes like this. "in a glen where soft winter winds sigh, beneath the velvet twilight sky, lies the voice of Clarice our...

After watching Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer one more time I thought I'd look up Janis but was greatly saddened to learn she had passed. There's Always Tomorrow is one of my very favorite songs, and it was so g to perfection by Janis. My deep condolences to her family, belated as it is.

Your song will always be in everyone's hearts and everything we hold dear at Christmastime. Rest in peace, you are singing with the angels.

Ms. Orenstein, thank you for your song, "There's always tomorrow" it has always been one of my favorite songs. As a young boy watching Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, I took favor to the song and I still to this day have a special place in my heart for it. Voice of an angel for sure.

Dear Ms. Orenstein: You have a very, very beautiful voice. "There's Always Tomorrow" is a great song, mainly because of your talent and emotion, for lack of better words. I hope that you are resting peacefully. Thank you for sharing your magnificent gift with the world. Love, Jay F.

And you were that glorious voice of Clarice in Rudolph the red nosed reindeer..... I finally researched it and found you. What a voice! None other like it. And it lives on forevermore. Thank you, dear lady.
