Career

Larkin began her career in 1990, with the film Zapped Again! as Joanne.

She became the voice of Princess Jasmine in the 1992 Disney film Aladdin. In order for her to voice Princess Jasmine, Disney required her to lower her voice as it was otherwise too high for the role.[3]

Larkin has reprised the role as Jasmine in the sequels and various other media, including The Return of Jafar and Aladdin and the King of Thieves, as well as in the television series, House of Mouse, Sofia the First, and the Kingdom Hearts and Disney Infinity video game series.[4]

For her work at Disney, Larkin was honored as a Disney Legend on August 19, 2011.[5]

Personal life

She has been married to actor and musician Yul Vazquez since 2002.[6][7]
