The Simpsons - Pamela Hayden

Pamela Hayden, who has given voice to Bart's best friend Milhouse, along with many other characters, has opted to retire from her character voice work on The Simpsons. "The time has come for me to hang up my microphone, but how do I say goodbye to The Simpsons?......not easily. It's been an honor and a joy to have worked on such a funny, witty, and groundbreaking show, and to give voice to Milhouse (and Jimbo Jones, Rod Flanders, Janey, Malibu Stacy, and many others)," she said. Milhouse first appeared in a Butterfinger commercial in 1989. Named for the former U.S. president Richard Milhous Nixon, The Simpsons Creator Matt Groening states, "Bart needed someone to talk to in the school cafeteria. We named him Milhouse because that was the most unfortunate name a kid could have." It has also been noted that Milhouse is a favorite of the show's writing staff because, according to Executive Producer Al Jean, "most of the writers are more like Milhouse than Bart."
