Headshot of Samantha Kelly
Born June 14, 1967[1] (age 57)
Super Mario–related role(s) Current voice actress for Princess Peach, Toad, Toadette, Toads, Baby Peach, Pink Gold Peach, and Peachette (2007-present)
“What I like about Peach, is that she's always innocent and sweet and she's also determined.”
Samantha Kelly

Samantha Kelly (credited as Sam Kelly in many games) is Princess Peach and Toad's current and longest running voice actress, replacing Nicole Mills and Jen Taylor. She has provided their voice work since Mario Strikers Charged and Mario Party 8 respectively (excluding Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, Mario Tennis Open (for Princess Peach), and Mario Kart Arcade GP DX). She also voices Toadette, Baby Peach and Pink Gold Peach. Some games use the voice clips of Jen Taylor or Nicole Mills with those of Kelly, such as Mario Tennis Aces and Mario Strikers Charged.

Though she does not voice Peach and Toad in The Super Mario Bros. Movie (who are instead voiced by Anya Taylor-Joy and Keegan-Michael Key respectively), some Toads in the movie utter reused voice clips of Kelly's portrayal of the Toad species.

Samantha Kelly was born in Nairobi, Kenya and has lived in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Germany.[2] She has been married to Carlos Roland since August 12, 2005. They have two children.
