So sad.  She was absolutely amazing in the role. Harley wouldn’t have been Harley if not for her.

Her voice as Harley was memorable, but this scene always puts a smile on my face:

RIP

What more can be said? Her portrayal of the character is the one that every subsequent version had to follow. Rest in peace.

Bruce Timm invented Harley Quinn, but it took someone special to voice her and give her personality, and Arleen certainly succeeded in spades. That the character became hugely popular and a mainstay villain in the Batman Rogue's Gallery to this day and surely for many more years to come is a testament to her talent and ability to project the gamut of human emotions, not to mention that cute NY accent, and her quirky sense of humor through this flawed but loveable psychopathic psychiatrist. Arleen Sorkin may not have graced marquees like Michelle Pfeiffer or Julia Roberts, but for those of us watching B:TAS back in the 90s, she was every bit the star for breathing glorious life into the woman who loved the Joker. RIP

She took it from a throw away character to an instant icon. Harley is probably the most well known dc female character and maybe even the most popular female character from all of comics connected entertainment currently. I would have thought Wonder Woman, but things have really changed. The character has become more and more popular with each cartoon, comic, video game and film appearance, and it all started with a character that was only intended to be in one episode of a cartoon.
