Pamela Hayden, who lent her voice to celebrities The Simpsons characters like Milhouse for over three decades, announced her retirement from the long-running animated series.

Milhouse first appeared in a Butterfinger commercial with Bart, and Hayden has been lending his voice to the character of the blue-haired kid ever since.
“The time has come for me to hang up my microphone, but how can I say goodbye to The Simpsons?……not easily,” Hayden said, as reported by Deadline.
“It has been an honor and 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. »
To honor Hayden's retirement and legacy, Fox released a short video with the voice actor and some of Milhouse's best moments. Here is this video:
“Bart needed to talk to someone in the school cafeteria. We named him Milhouse because it was the most unfortunate name a child could have,” said The Simpsons creator Matt Groening on the character's origins. “Pamela made us laugh a lot with Milhouse, the unfortunate kid with the biggest nose in Springfield. She made Milhouse hilarious and real, and she will be missed. »
Deadline reports that Fox has already started trying to recast some of its characters for future seasons of the series. The Simpsons was renewed in 2023 to last until 2025, which will allow it to exceed 800 episodes.
