== Biographical information ==
=== Personal life ===
MacNeille was born in California. She loved cartoons as a child and wanted to be a voice actress from the age of eight, but opted instead for a "practical" career, feeling she would never be able to realize her ambition. She graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, and attended broadcasting school, becoming a disc jockey.
=== Career ===
MacNeille worked in a variety of jobs and had numerous minor voice-over roles before becoming a regular on an animated TV show. She had "been doing radio spots, some TV, demos, sound-alikes, industrial narrations — anything that came [her] way for about two years." She was also a member of the improvisational comedy group The Groundlings for ten years. MacNeille took acting workshops and worked as a casting assistant for voice acting talent agent Bob Lloyd in what she calls "The University of Voice-over". Lloyd and fellow agent Rita Vennari got MacNeille her first role on an animated show with a part in a 1979 episode of Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo.
== Trivia ==
* She has credits in more than 350 episodes of The Simpsons.
