3 Extraordinary Facts About E.T.

Creating the voice of E.T. was challenging as when the film was produced in 1982, special effects were very limited.

The first voice of E.T. was Steven Spielberg himself, as he read from the script to help the children actors practice their scenes.

This was later replaced with the voice of Debra Winger; however, this didn’t make the final cut.

The main voice of E.T. was Pat Welsh, who was not an actor at the time but had the perfect deep raspy voice that Spielberg had envisioned for E.T.

She was a chain-smoker and claimed to have smoked two packs of cigarettes a day to maintain her rough voice whilst recording for E.T.

Her voice was mixed with the sounds of animals breathing for the final edit.
