Billie Hayes, best known for her performance as Witchiepoo in H.R. Pufnstuf, has died aged 96.

Hayes played the over the top cackling witch for one season – and the feature film spinoff – of the Sid and Marty Kroft series,  reprising the role for Lidsville, and a TV special alongside Margaret Hamilton’s Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz.

Hayes already had a strong stage career before her TV role, and became a regular voice artist in animated series from the 1970s onwards, including Scooby-Doo, The Batman, Teen Titans and Transformers: Rescue Bots.
