'''Hortense Simpson''', also known as '''Aunt Hortense''' is a great-aunt to the Simpsons. She was first seen in Heaven when [[Bart]] briefly died.<ref>"[[Bart Gets Hit by a Car]]"</ref> Hortense is said to have died later though, as the The Simpson family expected to inherit her estate, but instead each member is given $100 (except for [[Maggie]]). The rest was given to {{W|Ann Landers}} (as stated in Hortense's will).<ref>"[[Bart the Fink]]"</ref>

== Behind the Laughter ==
Since there have been two mentioned Aunt Hortense's, there has been some speculation about the character(s).
#The name was passed down. One could be Homer's aunt and another Homer's great aunt.
#The events of "[[Bart the Fink]]" could have been before "[[Bart Gets Hit by a Car]]".
#The will could have been lost for a long time.
#Bart thought she was dead but she was not.
#The Simpson family has two different aunts sharing the first name Hortense 
#It could have been an oversight by the producers.
