Shall we morn the passing of Marcia Wallace? Carol, the receptionist on "The Bob Newhart Show" and vocal star of "The Simpsons"?

Asked by ibstubro (18804points) October 26th, 2013

She would have turned 71, Nov. 1st.

I remember her from “The Merv Griffith Show” before Newhart. She was active up to an appearance on “The Young and the Restless” in 2009.

Larger than life and always likable, she will be missed.

Oh no! I loved her. I had always hoped that she and Jerry the dentist, on Bob Newhart, would end up together. What a great ensemble cast. She’ll be missed : (

What a great contribution she made to the ground-breaking Bob Newhart show. RIP, Marcia.

@Kardamom I always thought she was a little too good for Jerry. ;-)
She was the TRUE ‘girl-you-wished-lived-next-door’. Open, honest and a barrel of laughs.

Thanks!

Thanks, @Pachyderm_In_The_Room. She was the PERFECT foil to Bob’s dry wit.

Liked her a lot too. Now will Bart have to leave fourth grade?

I think that’s the FIRST I’ve heard you say, “I didn’t know that!” to an entertainment question!

I liked everything she did up until The Simpsons. Sorry Simpson fans, I think that show sucks. If anyone ever wanted to make me talk just force me to watch that asinine show. I’d tell all 3 minutes in.

RIP Marcia.

She was great, and left us too soon.

RIP, Mrs, Krabappel…..

She was very talented, and I’m real sorry to see her go. :( Krabappel was a great character, and the voice behind her was sure a part of that.

I always loved those HA!‘s she always did, haha.
