Life and career

Mary Gibbs was born in Pasadena, California, to Pixar director and story artist Rob Gibbs (1964–2020) and his wife Susan (née Hollands). [1] One of the production babies listed in the film credits of Toy Story 2 (1999) is Mary; Rob Gibbs was the story artist for that film.

As Gibbs was a toddler at the time she was recorded as the voice of Boo in Monsters, Inc. , her parents helped the crew simulate scenarios that would elicit the required audio reactions that would be her lines; recording was difficult nevertheless because she would run all over the Pixar office. [2] When Pixar's Inside Out (2015) was in production, the audio recordings of Gibbs' screams as Boo were reused for baby Riley. [2] As a teenager, Gibbs suffered from scoliosis before she had surgery in 2012 to fix it. [3]

Singleton Jr., Jerry Cornell, C. Andrew Nelson, and Joshua C. Shaffer. [4]
