Glitter> Flipside Glitter :: Cathy Cavadini as Glitter

Glitter in the Flipside

Glitter is a tiny fairy that meets the gang the minute they arrive in the Flipside. She saves them from the Master Blaster's imprisonment and immediately becomes their sidekick. For some reason, when Glitter sneezes she gains super-strength, but only for a moment. It was probably the only way the writers could think of to get the kids out of jams.

Glitter wears a pink cutoff shirt, pink leg warmers and a pink headband that make her look a little like Olivia Newton-John from "Let's Get Physical." In the second season of the show her hair is a little longer and her face more pixieish.

I have only one question about Glitter... what did she do before the kids were taken to the Flipside? Doesn't she have a job or something?

Cathy Cavadini as Glitter

Cathy Cavadini, the voice of Glitter, can be heard today as the voice of Blossom on The Powerpuff Girls. Kidd Video was her first known animated role; since then her voice has appeared in Starchaser: The Legend of Orin (1985), Jem (1986), My Little Pony: the Movie (1986), as Tanya Mousekewitz in An American Tail: Fievel Goes West (1991), Darkwing Duck (1991), Back to the Future the Series (1991), Duckman (1994), The Lion King (1994), and as Mary in Babes in Toyland (1997).

She has also contributed background voices to movies such as Casual Sex? (1988), Gross Anatomy (1989), Men at Work (1990), and Dinosaur (2000). She has made one onscreen appearance in Some Kind of Wonderful (1987) as a party guest, but since we don't know what she looks like we haven't been able to pick her out!
