B.J. Ward, is an American screen and voice actress, singer, author, and former Playboy Bunny. She is the creator and star of "Stand-Up Opera", a musical one-woman show, as well as being a licensed aviator. Her career in animation voice-over began with the titular, Jana of the Jungle, and went on to voice other characters including, Scarlett on G.I. Joe, Jayna on Superfriends: The Legendary Super Powers Show, Wonder Woman on The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians, Panky and Punkin in Pink Panther and Sons, and both junior high and adult Betty Rubble in various Flintstones productions from the late 80s throughout the 90s.

Ward first voiced Velma Dinkley in a 1997 crossover episode in the Hanna-Barbera-produced Johnny Bravo, where Mystery Inc. helped the titular find his aunt. The following year, she officially became the fifth voice of Velma in the first direct-to-video film, Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island. She continued to voice until 2002, when both Mindy Cohn took over the role of Velma Dinkley and original portrayer, Nicole Jaffe, briefly took over in both Scooby-Doo! and the Legend of the Vampire and Scooby-Doo! and the Monster of Mexico, respectively.
