2	[[http://www.nancycartwright.com/ Nancy Jean Cartwright]] (born October 25, 1957 in Dayton, Ohio) has been doing cartoon voices since Creator/HannaBarbera's version of ''WesternAnimation/{{Richie Rich\|1980}}'' in the early 1980s (after being personally trained by the legendary Creator/DawsButler), but is probably best known the world over for her voice work on the long-running Creator/{{FOX}} animated sitcom ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', where she is not only the voice of devious prankster Simpsons son, Bart, but also the voice of Ned Flanders' son Todd[[note]]Rod is voiced by Pamela Hayden, who voices bully/teenage petty thug Jimbo Jones and Bart's loser friend, Milhouse van Houten[[/note]], dim-witted second grader (and son of the town's incompetent police chief) Ralph Wiggum, fourth-grade bully Nelson Muntz, over-aged elementary school bully, petty thug, and (allegedly) teenaged father Kearney Zzyzwicz[[note]]Kearney's last name is Polish and pronounced "jeez-WICH". It was unknown until the season 18 episode "24 Minutes"[[/note]], and provides vocal effects (cooing, crying, and laughing) for youngest Simpsons child, Maggie. In addition, Cartwright is also an animation producer, responsible for NASCAR.com's WebAnimation series ''The Kellys''. She has adapted her book, ''My Life as a 10-Year-Old Boy'', into an audiobook and a one-woman stage show.

Originally, she was going to do voice work on ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', but turned it down due to its vulgar content. She even was a celebrity guest on Creator/TomBergeron's ''Series/TheHollywoodSquares'' and Donny Osmond's ''Series/{{Pyramid}}''.
