Board 8 > Martin on THE SIMPSONS to be RETIRED after the Shocking Death of VOICE ACTRESS!.

(+) Yeah! (+)

75 y/o Beloved Voice Actress, Russi Taylor has sadly passed away as she voiced the character Minnie Mouse for more than 30 years where Minnie and Russi worked together to entertain millions around the world and will be missed by everyone.

CEO Bob Iger said "We're so grateful for Russi's talent as well as the tremendous spirit and great joy she brought to everything she did. It was a privilege to have known her and an honour to have worked with her. Russi will be sorely missed and our hearts go out to her family and friends, along with our deepest condolences"..

She beat out 200 other hopefuls to voice the role in her 1986 audition and since then has appeared in hundreds of Disney projects including tv shows, theme park experiences, animated shorts and theatrical films

She met her husband, Wayne Allwine who voiced Mickey Mouse in 1977 and remained married until his death in 2009

As years went by, she got a regular voice acting role as Martin Prince as well as twins, Sherri and Terri on The Simpsons as Executive Producer Al Jean took to social media to praise her for giving life to the nerdy character in springfield. She also did the voice acting for german exchange student Uter Zorker

Many stunned fans were curious if these characters will be retired given Mrs. Krabappel's character was removed when actress Marcia Wallace passed away in 2013

There will be a long discussion between producers of The Simpsons on how they will move forward without these minor characters as new CEO Bob Iger will decide their fate but it is likely they will not have these characters no longer rather than killing them off.

Russi - Deceased





Simpsons Characters likely retired -

I doubt Bob Iger himself decides whether The Simpsons retires any character, let alone fairly minor ones
