I know who the voices for Scooby Doo were (mostly). Except for Casy Casam (shaggy), I don’t know what they looked like. I would like very much to find photos on the internet of the rest of the actors - Fred Welker, Don Messick, Whoever was Velma, and of course Heather North. Where do I look?
Sorry, I think it was FRANK Welker.
Frank Welker:

It’s a framed sub-page of a large site devoted to one Mary Kay Bergman (deceased), who apparently gave voice to Daphne in a couple of the more recent animated Scooby movies; hence the odd URL.
Of particular interest my be the group photo on this page, and there are some better pics of Mr. Welker too:

Hope this is helpful.
No luck on Heather North, sorry.
It was Frank Welker. And Casy Kasem. Velma was Nicole Jaffe, and Daphne was played by two actresses: Stefanianna Christopherson and Heather North. And this is just the cast of the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! cartoon, which ended in 1972.
Googling on these names is likely to turn up images of the actors. I did a basic search and found:
Nicole Jaffe
Frank Welker
Don Messick
Heather North
Stefanianna Christopherson (AKA Indira Stefanniana)
Casey Kasem, I leave to you. Zoinks!
Curses, I would have been first if not for that meddling HeatMiser!
Actually here’s Heather and everybody else on one page:

Somebody is running either a valuable web resource or a frighteningly obsessive fan page, depending on your perspective - entirely too much info related to Velma and all things related to her…
Also be sure and scroll down the link I posted before ( http://www.velmadinkley.com/nicole.html ) to see pics of both “Velma” and “Fred” appearing in a 1969 Elvis Presley flick - priceless.
Zoinks!
But in truth, while I was feeding the OP for a day (by providing pics) you were feeding him for a lifetime (by providing pics and teaching him how to Google). Kudos, I forgot that part. :smack:
Here’s a pic and radio bio of Casey Kasem.
He’s been a radio personality since the 50s. I met him recently at a Radio event in LA and he told me how his biographical American Top 40 started:
He was working at KEWB in San Francisco in the 1960s when the edict came down from the front office that no more humor, wild tracks, or other “funny stuff” was to be used on the air. This came down about a half-hour before his shift started - and that was his whole show! He used wild tracks/drop in voices extensively, told joke after joke, and generally based his whole show on humor.
Casey related that he sat down on a couch in the DJ lounge, put his head in his hands, and made plans to look for a new job, when he spotted a rock and roll biography book in the trash across the room. He grabbed the book, began making notes, and his biographical style was born - which led to the creation of his American Top 40 show and signature style in the 1970s.
He’s a very wonderful gentleman and I was honored to meet him and talk to him for a few minutes.
