She held the role for three seasons on The Tracey Ullman Show, and has voiced Bart for 29 seasons on The Simpsons, winning an Emmy and an Annie Award for her work. Cartwright has also voiced Daffney Gillfin in The Snorks, Rufus in Kim Possible, Mindy in Animaniacs, Margo Sherman in The Critic, and Chuckie in Rugrats and All Grown Up!
