| − | [[Politics in The Simpsons|Politically]], Marge generally aligns with the Democratic Party. She once mentions that she voted for Jimmy Carter ("twice" according to [[Lisa]]) and supported the candidacy of their state's progressive governor [[Mary Bailey]], and also claimed to have been extremely depressed when Lyndon B.

| − | === | + | === Talents === |
| − | Marge is a talented painter. When she was a teenager she had an intense crush on [[Ringo Starr]] and painted a large number of portraits of him. She also wrote to him, but only received a reply 25 years later. After Homer discovered her old paintings, Lisa encouraged Marge to enroll in an art contest in which her portrait of a drunk Homer asleep on the couch won a local art competition. She was then hired by [[Mr. Burns]] to do a portrait of him. After many attempts, she almost gave up until a belated response from [[Ringo Starr]] (stating that she had talent) inspired her to continue. The resulting portrait won even Mr. Burns’ praise, a massive feat in itself, and was placed at the [[Springfield Art Museum]]s Burn's Wing. | + | Marge is a talented painter.

Marge says she feeds the family on twelve dollars a week, using sawdust to pad Homer's food.<ref>[[All's Fair in Oven War]]</ref>Generally she is regarded as a very good cook, despite the unusual fact that she knows of fewer than eight spices and apparently constructs very bad ice cream sundaes. She is especially renowned for her pork chops, Homer's favorite dish. She once worked in [[Au Naturel]], an erotic bakery in [[Springfield]]<ref>[[Sex, Pies and Idiot Scrapes]]</ref>. |

The pearl necklace is a family heirloom and in in one episode she is seen to have a big drawer full of them. [[Lisa]] also wears a pearl necklace, but with white pearls.

| − | === | + | === Hair === |
| − | As a teen, Marge had waist length hair that she always wore down, but got the idea to wear it in her trademark beehive for senior prom in the episode [[The Way We Was]]; this is sometimes contradicted by more recent episodes that show Marge as a child, where she is portrayed with her hair worn tall. In the episode [[Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious]], her hair is shown close to her knees, consistent with the logic that a lot of hair would be needed to create her tall beehive. It was revealed by Homer in [[Secrets of a Successful Marriage]] that Marge dyes her hair with blue dye #56, stating ''"She’s been gray as a mule since she was seventeen."'' Since Bart, Lisa and Maggie have blonde hair and their father, Homer had brown hair, Marge's true hair color is probably "dirty" blonde. Because of her unusually large hairstyle, her height is reported to be 8'6", as noted by Apu in the episode [[Marge in Chains]]. In [[The Way We Weren't]], her hair was blue before she met Homer and was brunette at one time due to Marge ironing a piece of her hair for a long time. In ''The Simpsons'' Season Four DVD commentary, Matt Groening states that the original idea behind Marge's hair was to conceal large rabbit ears. The gag was intended to be revealed in the final episode of the series, but was scrapped early on due to inconsistencies. | + | [[File:Marge_simpson_hair.jpg|thumb|250px]] |

| − | === | + | === Age === |
| − | As with many Simpson characters, Marge's age changes to serve the story. In first-season episodes [[Life on the Fast Lane]] and [[Some Enchanted Evening]], Marge is said to be 34, possibly because she and Homer attended their twentieth anniversary high-school reunion in one episode(this could be written away to Homers stupidity, being held back a grade 1 or more times). In the episode [[Regarding Margie]], Homer mentions that Marge is his age, meaning she could be anywhere between 36 and 40. In [[Bart After Dark]] she claims to have lived in Springfield for 37 years. Marge's birthday is not precise as there have been at least three different ones given. Marge claims to have the same birthday as real life actor Dennis Quaid, April 9,in [[Marge Gamer]]. | + | As with many Simpson characters, Marge's age changes to serve the story.

| + | === Creation === | ||
| + | [[Matt Groening]] first conceived the Simpson family in the lobby of [[James L. Brooks]]' office. He had been called in to pitch a series of animated shorts, and had intended to present his ''Life in Hell'' series. When he realized that animating ''Life in Hell'' would require him to rescind publication rights for his life's work, Groening decided to go in another direction. He hurriedly sketched out his version of a dysfunctional family, and named the characters after various members of his own family, with Marge being the name of his mother. Marge then made her debut with the rest of the Simpsons clan on 19 April, 1987 in the [[The Simpsons shorts|Tracey Ullman short]] "[[Good Night]]".<ref name="americasfirstfamily">{{cite video|people=BBC|year=2000|title='The Simpsons': America's First Family (6 minute edit for the season 1 DVD)|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250735/|format=DVD|location=UK|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> | ||

Marjorie Bouvier Simpson
| ||||||||||||||||
Character Information
|
Marjorie "Marge" J. Simpson (née Bouvier) is the well-meaning and patient wife of Homer Simpson. Her most notable physical feature is her blue hair, styled into an improbably high beehive; she is proud to have never met anyone with taller hair outside Graceland.
Contents
Biography
Born on May 28th 1964.Marge spends most of her time doing housework, in minding Maggie, being supportive of Lisa and either disciplining Bart or protecting him from Homer's wrath.
Despite having high morals and a tendency to be a 'wet blanket' as Homer puts it, she has actually worn a groove into the carpet going from the kitchen to the bedroom and the basement from her constant housework, Marge has had her fair share of wild escapades throughout the show’s history. She was once a police officer in Springfield[1], took therapy for flight fear[2], was jailed for shoplifting[3], became a gambling addict[4], showed alcoholic tendencies [5], |was an unwilling participant in a cross-country police chase[6], overdosed on steroids[7], cheated on a cooking competition[8] and developed amnesia[9]. Marge is the only member of the family who encourages church attendance. She also appears to have significant athletic ability. She is bilingual, being fully fluent in French.

Political Views
Politically, Marge generally aligns with the Democratic Party. She once mentions that she voted for Jimmy Carter ("twice" according to Lisa) and supported the candidacy of their state's progressive governor Mary Bailey, and also claimed to have been extremely depressed when Lyndon B. Johnson died. She, however, appears to be a Conservative Democrat, unlike the Left-Winged Lisa.
Talents
Marge is a talented painter. When she was a teenager she had an intense crush on Ringo Starr and painted a large number of portraits of him. She also wrote to him, but only received a reply 25 years later. After Homer discovered her old paintings, Lisa encouraged Marge to enroll in an art contest in which her portrait of a drunk Homer asleep on the couch won a local art competition. She was then hired by Mr. Burns to do a portrait of him. After many attempts, she almost gave up until a belated response from Ringo Starr (stating that she had talent) inspired her to continue. The resulting portrait won even Mr. Burns’ praise, a massive feat in itself, and was placed at the Springfield Art Museums Burn's Wing.[10]
Marge is also very talented cook. She once brought a pretzel business, which flourished with the aid of the mafia.[11] She has entered various cooking challenges, although circumstances such as vengeful competitors and overheated ovens cause her to lose and once, sabotage other competitors. Marge says she feeds the family on twelve dollars a week, using sawdust to pad Homer's food.[12]Generally she is regarded as a very good cook, despite the unusual fact that she knows of fewer than eight spices and apparently constructs very bad ice cream sundaes. She is especially renowned for her pork chops, Homer's favorite dish. She once worked in Au Naturel, an erotic bakery in Springfield[13].
Jobs
Marge has had many jobs, most of which lasted a short period of time, these include:
- Pretzel Wagon creator and saleswomen
- Policewoman[14]
- Trade Show Model [15]
- Estate Agent for Red Blazer Reality[16]
- Power plant employee[17]
- House Wife
Future
In the year 2013, Marge leaves Homer after he blew the family savings on an underwater home. She dates Krusty the Clown. Homer tries to win Marge's love back by beating him up, and is beaten up. Marge then gets back together with Homer.[18]

Trademarks
Marge's main clothes throughout the whole of the Simpsons series is a strapless green dress, red shoes, tall blue hair and a red pearl necklace. The pearl necklace is a family heirloom and in in one episode she is seen to have a big drawer full of them. Lisa also wears a pearl necklace, but with white pearls. Doctor Hibbert revealed in one episode that she has webbed feet. In the Season 19 episode "Husbands and Knives", she remarked that she used to have a "perfect 26-26-26" figure.
Hair
As a teen, Marge had waist length hair that she always wore down, but got the idea to wear it in her trademark beehive for senior prom in the episode The Way We Was; this is sometimes contradicted by more recent episodes that show Marge as a child, where she is portrayed with her hair worn tall. In the episode Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious, her hair is shown close to her knees, consistent with the logic that a lot of hair would be needed to create her tall beehive. It was revealed by Homer in Secrets of a Successful Marriage that Marge dyes her hair with blue dye #56, stating "She’s been gray as a mule since she was seventeen." Since Bart, Lisa and Maggie have blonde hair and their father, Homer had brown hair, Marge's true hair color is probably "dirty" blonde. Because of her unusually large hairstyle, her height is reported to be 8'6", as noted by Apu in the episode Marge in Chains. In The Way We Weren't, her hair was blue before she met Homer and was brunette at one time due to Marge ironing a piece of her hair for a long time. In The Simpsons Season Four DVD commentary, Matt Groening states that the original idea behind Marge's hair was to conceal large rabbit ears. The gag was intended to be revealed in the final episode of the series, but was scrapped early on due to inconsistencies. [19]
Age
As with many Simpson characters, Marge's age changes to serve the story. In first-season episodes Life on the Fast Lane and Some Enchanted Evening, Marge is said to be 34, possibly because she and Homer attended their twentieth anniversary high-school reunion in one episode(this could be written away to Homers stupidity, being held back a grade 1 or more times). In the episode Regarding Margie, Homer mentions that Marge is his age, meaning she could be anywhere between 36 and 40. In Bart After Dark she claims to have lived in Springfield for 37 years. Marge's birthday is not precise as there have been at least three different ones given. Marge claims to have the same birthday as real life actor Dennis Quaid, April 9,in Marge Gamer.
Behind the Scenes
Marge is voiced by Julie Kavner
Creation
Matt Groening first conceived the Simpson family in the lobby of James L. Brooks' office. He had been called in to pitch a series of animated shorts, and had intended to present his Life in Hell series. When he realized that animating Life in Hell would require him to rescind publication rights for his life's work, Groening decided to go in another direction. He hurriedly sketched out his version of a dysfunctional family, and named the characters after various members of his own family, with Marge being the name of his mother. Marge then made her debut with the rest of the Simpsons clan on 19 April, 1987 in the Tracey Ullman short "Good Night".[20]
Reception
Julie Kavner received a Primetime Emmy Award in 1992 for voicing Marge in the episode "I Married Marge".[21] In 2004, Kavner and Dan Castellaneta (the voice of Homer) won a Young Artist Award for "Most Popular Mom & Dad in a TV Series".[22] For her performance in The Simpsons Movie, Kavner received a nomination for "Best Voice Acting in an Animated Feature" at the 2007 Annie Awards, but lost to Ian Holm in Ratatouille.[23][24] Kavner's emotional performance in the movie got positive reviews and one critic said she "gave what must be the most heartfelt performance ever".[25]
