For Disney, she served as the live-action model for Cruella De Vil in 101 Dalmatians and lent her voice to Laverne in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Laverne would be her final role before her death from complications from surgery on October 10, 1995; she didn't complete all her lines for it, and Jane Withers was brought in to record the rest of them and provided the voice of Laverne in The Hunchback of Notre Dame II, which was released in 2002, 7 years after Wickes' death.
Wickes is known for her role as Sister Mary Lazarus in Sister Act and Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit with Whoopi Goldberg. She also played Clara in Napoleon and Samantha, Miss Wigginton in Snowball Express, and Katie in the Annette serial on TV's The Mickey Mouse Club.
