As the voice of “Bart Simpson,” Nancy’s talents and contributions to the show have helped it become the longest running prime time animated series in the history of television. “That Bart is a cartoon character—a sheaf of drawings animated by smart writing and the unique vocal stylings of Nancy Cartwright—make him both ‘real’ and surreally supple.” (Time magazine, 1999)
Since the series’ premiere in 1989, The Simpsons has garnered dozens of entertainment industry awards for excellence, including 15 Emmy awards, a Peabody, four Environmental Media Awards, three Genesis Awards and 12 Annie Awards. In 1992, Nancy was personally acknowledged by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with an Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance as the voice of Bart.
Nancy’s voice-acting abilities have been featured in many highly acclaimed shows and films, including Animaniacs, Elmyra, Pinky and the Brain, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, My Little Mermaid, Richie Rich, My Little Pony, Pound Puppies, Snorks, and Mike, Lu and Og. Click here to learn more.
