June Foray, playing Carmelita, is perhaps best known for her voice-over work in cartoons and other live roles for over 60 years.
This was her last role as an actress before the camera.

Lisa serves hot-water soup for lunch. It's nothing but boiled water. She was planning to make chicken noodle soup, but she checked the chickens and none had noodles on them, only feathers.
Even if a viewer has never seen June Foray, but has seen cartoons from the 1950's, 1960's to Mulan (1998) in the 1990's, her distinct voice as "Rocky, The Flying Squirrel" from The Bullwinkle Show (1959) is as distinctive as Mickey is a Mouse. Even though, the Green Acres (1965) makeup department disguised her in a jet-black wig, made up her face to appear as a stereotypical migrant field laborer, and dressed her in the stereotypical clothes of a villager from, say, Central America, and the character actress uses a pretty accurate Hispanic accent to suit the needs of the stereotype, her high, but rich voice is certainly telling of a familiar voice.
The title is based on the expression, "don't count your chickens before they hatch."
