The Tracey Ullman Show
Known for her improvisation and distinctive "honeyed gravel voice", Kavner was cast in her first professional acting role as Brenda Morgenstern in "Rhoda" in 1974. Starting in 1987, Kavner started appearing on "The Tracey Ullman Show". "The Tracey Ullman Show" included a series of animated shorts about a dysfunctional family. Voices were needed for the shorts, and the producers asked Kavner to voice Marge. The shorts were spun off into "The Simpsons".
