Edith, the middle daughter of Gru’s adopted children, has voiced by Dana Gaier for all three films. From the time she got the role until now, Gaier has been part of the Despicable Me family for nine years.
The franchise has certainly taken up a lot of time, but that hasn’t stopped Gaier from succeeding in the other areas of her life. The actress is currently a full-time student at UCLA with a double major in Sociology and Communications as well as a minor in film studies.
