Page "Marge Simpson" Paragraph 2

Marge's distinctive blue beehive hairstyle was inspired by a combination of the Bride's in Bride of Frankenstein and the style that Margaret Groening wore in the 1960s.

Julie Kavner, who was a member of the original cast of The Tracey Ullman Show, was asked to voice Marge so that more voice actors would not be needed.

Kavner has won several awards for voicing Marge, including a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance in 1992.

She was also nominated for an Annie Award for Best Voice Acting in an Animated Feature for her performance in The Simpsons Movie.

In 2000, Marge, along with the rest of her family, was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
