Marcia Wallace

Very sad news over the weekend...

Marcia Wallace, the voice of The Simpsons' Edna Krabappel who earlier played the quick-witted receptionist on The Bob Newhart Show, has died. She was 70. 

 "The odds of getting on a series long enough to be remembered are infinitesimal," she told The New York Times in 2010. "A lot of what I’ve done, I would not have done without Carol Kester." 

 She also won an Emmy Award for her voice work as Ms. Krabappel in the 1992 Simpsons episode "Bart the Lover." After the elementary school teacher gives Bart a month of detention, he gets his revenge by responding to her newspaper singles ad.

I loved her on The Bob Newhart Show and always enjoyed seeing her pop on various game shows over the years after that.

She will definitely be missed, but fondly remembered by many.

    I really love when THE SIMPSONS make a parodi of someting, like the Atomic Energy Plant of Springfield, remembers me : Three Mile Island, Chernobil and Fukushima.
