In the Sunday night episode of The Simpsons titled “Dairy Queen”, audiences are visited by a familiar face – and a voice that has become iconic in Fox’s long animated series.
In the episode, Bart comes across the diary of Edna Krabappel, who was voiced by the late and great Marcia Wallace, who won an Emmy for the role in 1992. For more than 175 episodes, she was known as Bart’s teacher, just like Ned Flanders second wife. The result is a very sincere tribute to the actress who died unexpectedly in 2013 at the age of 70.
The Simpsons he always remembered the character and the actress who voiced Bart’s teacher and Ned Flanders’ second wife. Shortly after she died, we saw Bart write “We will miss you so much, Mrs. K” on the blackboard in the opening credits. In addition, an episode in March 2014 featured Ned Flanders reminiscing about his late wife.
Wallace’s memory lived with “Dairy Queen”, which was due to air last week, but has been delayed due to NASCAR weather delays. However, the public was treated with the tribute to Edna Krabappel. The Official Simpsons The Twitter account provoked the tribute on Sunday, saying, “Join us on a trip to the past with Mrs. K tonight”
To make the episode even more exciting, Wallace’s real voice was used, according to Deadline’s sister site Variety. With permission from Wallace’s estate, executive producer Al Jean said they used lines she had previously said on the show that fit the plot.
The tribute was exciting, but we are sure that this is not the last time The Simpsons will remember Wallace’s legacy and his memorable character from Edna Krabappel.
There are 𝓼𝓸𝓶𝓮 advantages to being the teacher’s pet.
