Early Life

Nancy Cartwright was born Nancy Jean Cartwright on October 25, 1957, in Dayton, Ohio. She grew up with mother, Miriam, father Frank, and five siblings in Kettering, Ohio; sadly, Miriam passed away in 1978. Nancy attended St. Charles Borromeo and Fairmont West High School, and as a fourth grader, she won a school speech competition in which she performed Rudyard Kipling's "How the Camel Got His Hump." At Fairmont, she appeared in school plays and was a member of the marching band as well as president of the Forensic League. Cartwright often competed in public speaking competitions, and two years in a row, she came in first place in the National District Tournament's "Humorous Interpretation" category.

Nancy graduated in 1976 and earned a scholarship to Ohio University, where she continued to participate in public speaking competitions, placing fifth in the exposition category at the National Speech Tournament with a speech entitled "The Art of Animation." In 1976, she was hired to do voice-overs for ads on the Dayton radio station WING, and after a Warner Bros. Records rep visited the station, he gave her a list of animation industry contacts. This led to Daws Butler, the voice of Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, and Elroy Jetson, becoming Cartwright's mentor and Nancy leaving Ohio for Los Angeles. She transferred to the University of California, Los Angeles, earning her theater degree in 1981.

Career

Daws Butler introduced Cartwright to many of Hanna-Barbera's voice actors and directors, and director Gordon Hunt asked her to audition for the TV show "Richie Rich." She landed a recurring role as Gloria Glad and was involved with the show from 1980 to 1984. In 1982, she played the title role in the TV movie "Marian Rose White," and she made her film debut in 1983's "Twilight Zone: The Movie." Throughout the '80s, Nancy did voicework in "My Little Pony: The Movie" (1986), "Pound Puppies and the Legend of Big Paw" (1988), "The Little Mermaid" (1989), "Shirt Tales" (1983–1985), "Snorks" (1984–1988), and "My Little Pony 'n Friends" (1986–1987) and appeared in the films "Flesh and Blood" (1985) and "Yellow Pages" (1988).

In 1987, Cartwright auditioned for a voice role in a series of animated shorts that would appear on "The Tracey Ullman Show." Though she had intended to audition for the role of Lisa Simpson, she found Bart's character description more interesting and asked if she could try out for that part instead. After her audition, creator Matt Groening offered Nancy the role on the spot. The shorts were spun off into a Fox TV series in 1989, and as of this writing, "The Simpsons" has aired more than 700 episodes over 32 seasons, making it the longest-running American sitcom, animated series, and scripted primetime series. Cartwright has also voiced Bart in "The Simpsons Movie" (2007) and numerous video games, such as "The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants" (1991) and "The Simpsons: Tapped Out" (2012).

Nancy co-founded the Know More About Drugs alliance, "an alliance of medical professionals, child advocates and parents who champion the right of parents and caregivers to be warned about the most serious side effects of prescribed psychotropic (mind-altering) drugs in a simple, easy-to-understand format." Scientologists are infamously at war with psychologists.
