About Nancy Cartwright
Nancy Cartwright has often been arrested for truancy and vandalism, yet she maintains a spotless criminal record. She has repeated the fourth grade dozens of times in spite of earning her college degree. And finally, despite being a grown woman, she has given voice to a certain spikey-headed 10-year-old boy for 36+ years. And how, you may ask, has she managed to live this double life? Read on, dude. As the voice of Bart Simpson, Emmy Award-winning actress Nancy Cartwright quite literally breathes life into one of the most memorable characters in entertainment history. But she is also responsible for an array of other characters on The Simpsons, too, making her a versatile performer who’s proved invaluable to the longest-running scripted show of all time. Not that her career begins and ends in Springfield—far from it. Nancy has lent her voice to a myriad of other animated touchstones, from Richie Rich to Rugrats, as well as live-action films, video games, audiobooks and commercials. And now, with the new podcast Simpsons Declassified, Nancy pulls back the curtain on the show’s wildest fan theories, behind-the-scenes stories, and untold moments from over 800 episodes—offering fans an all-access pass to Springfield like never before. She’s at once a cultural icon and a face in the crowd—a megastar who walks the streets without being mobbed. Not too shabby for a kid from Kettering, Ohio.
