Jean MacCurdy

Jean MacCurdy is an American-born longtime animation/children's programming professional, best known for having worked at Hanna-Barbara, and for having presided over the Warner Bros. Animation Division during its "Golden Age" in the 1990s, when she was instrumental in getting an extraordinary array of quality cartoons produced. There are some who complain that the shows MacCurdy, Tom Ruegger, Sherri Stoner, John P.
