I'm sure we were all saddened by the death of George Harrison, a member of the greatest rock band of all time, who appeared in Homer's Barbershop Quartet.
My question is, how many celebrity voices on the simpsons have died since appearing in an episode?
my question is who can establish a direct relationship between appearing on the Simpson's and death..
wait I can... 100%... everyone dies sometime right? so lets not make statistics that aren't there....

Maybe you were just joking with the last poster, but I'm guessing that he's not trying to imply that doing a voice on The Simpsons is a death sentence. It really does seem like an interesting question. The only one that comes to mind right now is Jim Varney (from "Bart Carney").

Lionel Hutz is no long with us--though he was more of a regular than a guest star.
Jim Varney, Phil Hartman and now George Harrison are the only ones.
I laugh at whenever someone says "does appearing on the facts of life mean you will get a cold?" I mean gee whiz come on people... somethings in life are inevitable... and death is one of them. "Lord Jubjub" wrote in message news:[email]...

Yes, but I don't think the initial poster was making a point about Simpsons guest appearances being fatal. More like that the show is getting so long-lived, it's accumulating a list of guest stars whom it's survived, and wondering who was on that list....
joey ramone, linda mccartney-although i dunno if that was really her
actually the guest voices for that ep show Paul and Linda McCartney, so I'd assume it was her.
That's GREAT!!! A great show cut down way too soon. How long did it take you to write that down from the ep? =) "And when I return I will, in all sincerity, make you my personal slaves."

I think everyone who does a voice on 'The Simpsons' will die one day.
