Biography
About Grey DeLisle
Voice actress Grey DeLisle has been active in entertainment since 1983, a career spanning over four decades. American by nationality, she was born in Fort Ord, California, to truck driver George Van Oosbree and singer Joanna Ruth. She is of Dutch, French, Irish, Mexican, and Norwegian descent. Her parents separated when she was young, and when she was eleven, her mother became a born-again Pentecostal. Eventually, she was raised by her maternal grandmother, Eva Flores, a vocalist who performed with salsa legend Tito Puente. DeLisle credits her father's love of country music as the biggest influence on her musical taste.
In her late teens, she began singing old gospel tunes and entered stand-up comedy on the advice of a close friend. During her comedy routine, she imitated voices, and a casting director advised her to pursue voice acting. That advice proved pivotal for her career, though she also works as a comedian and singer. As a slim, petite woman with black hair and hazel eyes, she stands 5'3" and weighs 121 lbs. Her notable work includes voicing Catwoman in video games, a role added to her long list of credits in 2023.
DeLisle married Christopher DeLisle in 1992 at age 19; they divorced in 1993, but she kept his surname. In 2002, she married Murray Hammond of the Old 97's, and they had a son, Jefferson Texas "Tex" Hammond, on January 31, 2007. That marriage ended in divorce in 2010. She later dated Jared Griffin, whom she first met through Twitter, and they married on June 27, 2012; they were expecting a child together in October 2014.
