Jodie Foster & Anne Hathaway to lend their voices to ‘The Simpsons’

Published on September 4, 2008 at 5:41 PM

The 20th season of ‘The Simpsons’ begins September 28th. Marge and Homer and the gang are going to have some lovely celebrity guest voices as part of their new season.
Jodie Foster is lending her voice to the cartoon, as a grown-up version of Maggie.
Jodie’s episode will air in early 2009 and is titled Four Great Women & A Manicure.
It’s kind of a big honor that she’s speaking for Maggie, since she’s the only character who doesn’t speak.  But, when Maggie did talk and uttered her first and one of few words, “Daddy”, the voice used was that of Elizabeth Taylor’s.

Also scheduled to play a part in an episode early next year is Anne Hathaway.  She’ll appear in an episode entitled The Good, the Sad and the Druglyand will play a new, sweet and caring character that Bart falls in love with and tries to become “a good Samaritan” to impress her.

It’s good to see some good attention being paid to Hathaway.  Her performance in Rachel Getting Married, which premiered this week at the Venice film fest, is generating early Oscar buzz!

In the family drama, Anne plays Kym, a recovering drug addict who checks out of rehab to attend her sister’s wedding.
