* Cookie Kwan, a territorial Asian American realtor who threatens anyone who tries to sell houses on "the west side."

* Mrs. Glick, the elderly shut-in lady who let Bart work for her on season two's "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS2E21ThreeMenAndAComicBook Three Men and a Comic Book]]"; on that episode, Cloris Leachman was the voice of Mrs. Glick. When Mrs. Glick appeared in the season eight ''X-Files'' crossover episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E10TheSpringfieldFiles The Springfield Files]]", Tress [=MacNeille=] provided her voice.

* Brunella Pommelhorst, the stern school gym teacher (first mentioned by name only in season six's "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E21ThePTADisbands The PTA Disbands]]") who [[spoiler:quit so she could get a sex change operation and get hired as the new woodshop teacher]], [[NegativeContinuity though she was still seen as a woman in "Moms I'd Like To Forget" and]] ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie''.

* Manjula Nahasapeemapetilon, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon's wife (only for the season 13 episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS13E19TheSweetestApu The Sweetest Apu]]"; Manjula is usually voiced by former ''[[Series/SaturdayNightLive SNL]]'' castmember Jan Hooks. Because of Hooks' death, [=MacNeille=] may be her permanent replacement in the event that Manjula appears again)
* Belle, owner of Springfield's only burlesque house "The Maison Derriere" as seen in season eight's "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E5BartAfterDark Bart After Dark]]" (originally, the producers wanted a female celebrity to voice Belle, but when they couldn't find a good match, they called in Tress. The role was so big, Tress was billed with the regular voice actors).
* Mrs. Muntz, Nelson Muntz's [[ReallyGetsAround promiscuous]], drug-addict mother (first mentioned as being a jailbird in season four's "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E21MargeInChains Marge in Chains]]" and having a cough drop addiction in season eight's "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E6AMilhouseDivided A Milhouse Divided]]"; first heard in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS10E11WildBartsCantBeBroken Wild Barts Can't Be Broken]]" first seen in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS15E7TisTheFifteenthSeason 'Tis the Fifteenth Season]]")

[[caption-width-right:250: How to be a legend: just get the name Tress MacNielle.]]

[[caption-width-right:250:''The'' woman of a thousand voices.]]

Due to the sheer amount of voice work in her resume, Tress is no doubt a WomanOfAThousandVoices and is considered the female equivalent of Creator/FrankWelker, Creator/BillyWest, Creator/MelBlanc, and Creator/JimCummings.

* Flo the Female Crocodile (''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid'' TV series)

** Also made Lady Liberty and High Five in the sequel ''Sculptor's Cut''

* TalkingToHerself: Many times. Notably in ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'', she became notable as one of the few voice actors ever to flirt with themselves. ([=MacNeille=] voices Chip and Gadget Hackwrench. Her Chip voice is so sped-up that casual viewers wouldn't know it was her. Now, her Gadget voice is recognizable, as she has used that voice for several bit female characters on other shows, and is very similar to [[WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures Babs]]).

[=MacNeille=] sang and appeared in the music video for "Ricky" by Music/WeirdAlYankovic, which was based on the ''Series/ILoveLucy'' television show and parodied the song "Mickey" by Toni Basil.

[=MacNeille=] also appeared as an angry anchorwoman in ''Film/ElviraMistressOfTheDark1988'' and served as the voice of Elvira's Great-Aunt Morganna Talbot.

Her most notable characters on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' include Agnes Skinner (Principal Skinner's [[MyBelovedSmother controlling mother]]), Brandine Spuckler (Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel's [[IncestIsRelative wife/sister/cousin]]), Dolph Starbeam (one of the three bullies, along with Jimbo Jones [whom Tress initially voiced, but was replaced with Pamela Hayden] and Kearney Zzyzwicz), and Lindsey Naegle (the generic businesswoman/network executive/image consultant/financial planner), while her performance as Mom (a cruel, elderly businesswoman) is her most notable ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' role. She even became the voice of Daisy Duck in 1999. [=MacNeille=] has also done dubbing work on English language anime translations. She was also the voice of Leon from ''Lilly the Witch''. She's been the industries' go-to voice for old lady characters for quite some time, and it's always easy to recognize her.

** Also made Lady Liberty and High Five in the sequel ''Sculptor's Cut''

* Mary Todd Lincoln (''HardDrinkinLincoln'')

* Fang (''WesternAnimation/DaveTheBarbarian'')

* ReclusiveArtist: Unlike her fellow veteran voice actor Creator/RobPaulsen, who has repeatedly tried to get her on [[Podcast/TalkinToonsWithRobPaulsen his podcast]], she prefers to let her work speak for itself and doesn't make many public appearances, which was kicked off by a stalker in the early days of ''Tiny Toons'' (which led to the show's cancellation).
* TalkingToHerself: Many times. Notably in ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'', she became notable as one of the few voice actors ever to flirt with themselves.
