Role in The Simpsons

Primary Appearances

Homer discovered her in a bar in the middle of nowhere but was amazed by her voice. He decided to help her launch a singing career, much to the chagrin of Marge. Lurleen started to fall for Homer and tried to lure him with an erotic song called "Bunk with Me Tonight". Homer, who had been ignorant of this, suddenly realized that managing Lurleen could hurt his marriage, so he quits as her manager. A saddened Lurleen sings a song called "Stand By Your Manager". Lurleen is based on Lynn Halsey Taylor played by Sondra Locke in the Clint Eastwood movie 'Every Which Way But Loose'

Minor Appearances

In a later episode, "Marge vs. the Monorail", a much rougher-looking Lurleen, voiced by Doris Grau, makes a brief appearance, in which it is revealed that she had been to the Betty Ford Clinic and had "spent last night in a ditch". In this episode her voice sounds exactly the same as Lunchlady Doris's, rather than her soft, Southern voice she had when she was first introduced. She was also seen in "Team Homer" as one fourth of a bowling team called "The Home Wreckers", with Jacques Brunswick, Mindy Simmons and Princess Kashmir. In the episode "Bart on the Road", while they were going through Branson, Missouri, her name briefly appears on a banner saying "playing tonight". Lurleen also briefly appeared in the episode Homerazzi. She is also shown outside the prison yelling to Kirk Van Houten when he was arrested for kidnapping Bart. Lurleen also played a key role in Papa Don't Leech, where Marge reunited her with her deadbeat father.

Career

She is a country musician who is discovered by Homer Simpson while he was drinking at a bar. Tempted to have an affair with Lurleen, Homer has arguments with Marge. Ultimately, Marge and Homer make up and the show ends with both Homer and Marge watching Lurleen sing on television.
