Marcia Wallace, the voice of scoffing school teacher Edna Krabappel on The Simpsons, whose wise-cracking characters on The Bob Newhart Show and other prime-time hits endeared her to generations of TV viewers, has died.
Simpsons executive producer Al Jean said in a statement Saturday that her "irreplaceable character," the fourth-grade teacher who contended with Bart Simpson's constant antics, would be retired from the show. Wallace was 70. http://cbc.sh/mtD2Joh
Do you have a favourite Marcia Wallace performance? How do you think The Simpsons will carry on without the voice talent behind one of its most iconic characters?
