Maggie Simpson is the youngest member of the Simpson family in the show. She is the baby daughter of Homer and Marge Simpson and the younger sister of Bart and Lisa. Maggie is known for her blue pacifier, star-shaped hair, and quiet nature, making her one of the most mysterious characters on the show. Although Maggie rarely speaks, she plays an important role in many episodes.


Her character is often used for visual humor, emotional moments, and surprises. Even though Maggie is a baby and doesn’t have much dialogue, she is portrayed as smart, brave, and even naughty. Most of the time, Maggie communicates by sucking on her pacifier. One of Maggie’s most famous moments is in the episode “Who Shot Mr. Burns?” where she accidentally shoots the gun. Another special moment is in “Lisa’s First Word,” when she softly says “Daddy” at the end, which is one of the rare times she speaks.

Maggie’s usual sounds, like her pacifier noise, are made by the show’s sound team and not by a single voice actor. However, in special episodes where Maggie speaks, her voice is done by guest stars or regular cast members. One of her most popular moments was in the episode “Lisa’s First Word,” where Maggie says “Daddy” at the end. That short but emotional line was voiced by popular actress Elizabeth Taylor.


Jodie Foster voiced an older version of Maggie in the episode “Four Great Women and a Manicure.” In a segment of the Treehouse of Horror episode, actor James Earl Jones gave Maggie a deep, strong voice for comedic effect. Nancy Cartwright, who usually voices Bart, has also done Maggie’s voice in a few short scenes. Her famous sucking sound was made by Matt Groening and Gabor Csupo when the show was still part of The Tracey Ullman Show.
