[From here.](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119116/faq) > [@](#): > > _Who plays the voices of Finger, Korben’s mother, and Mr. Shadow?_ > > No one was credited for these roles, and there’s no clear evidence as to who was used. However, some have speculated that it was Jill Mullan, who is credited under Other Crew for “special thanks”. Others have suggested that Finger sounds like Bill Nunn or Vin Diesel but neither of these have been confirmed. ---

She sounds a little like Carol Ann Susi, who played Howard’s mother on TBBT. ---

I’d heard random speculation that it was Demi Moore, altering her voice. Just like they had to play a husband and wife terrorist team in the Beavis and Butthead cartoon movie, they had to be together in this movie, even if they didn’t bill her. Apparently, while they were married, they had to be professionally inseparable. Seems more like an insult against them, but the rumor persists in all their films as if they were grafted at the hip. ---

Scrolling thru the full credits I see Anne Lockhart (daughter of June) with an adr voice match non-credit credit. She’s done a lot of voice over [work](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0516860/). A [clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tja8qzFyfE0) of her talking naturally. But voice artists usually don’t use their normal voice. ---

Doing a a few hours of voice work is not the same as being “inseparable” during a movie with as long and complex a shooting schedule as _Fifth Element_… so I’m not sure how to evaluate this. ---

“Oh, please, that doesn’t even _sound_ like her. Demi Moore’s an idiot; you don’t sound like an idiot…” 😃 ---

Apparently, while they were married, they had to be professionally inseparable. Seems more like an insult against them, but the rumor persists in all their films as if they were grafted at the hip. They were credited in exactly 2 movies together during their marriage - Mortal Thoughts, which was their big “husband & wife starring together” movie, and Beavis & Butthead. Plus Demi had a quick came in an episode of Moonlighting. They each made 20+ movies during their marriage, so I’d hardly call that “professionally inseparable”.
