Jacqueline Bouvier

Jacqueline Ingrid Bouvier (maiden name Gurney), is the mother of Marge Simpson, Patty and Selma Bouvier, and the wife of the late Clancy Bouvier. She also had a sister named Gladys, who is now deceased. Like all Bouvier women, she was voiced by Julie Kavner. Like her twin daughters, Patty and Selma, she smoked heavily and speaks more raspily as they do. She barely has any voice, she never smiles, except in "Lady Bouvier's Lover", thus seeming largely pessimistic, critical and unsociable. She also seems to disapprove of Marge's marriage to Homer (this, again, is a similarity with Patty and Selma, who share a hatred for their brother-in-law). Her favorite song is Moonlight Serenade by Glenn Miller. Jacqueline was married to Clancy Bouvier until his death. She had a brief romance with Abraham Simpson, Homer's father. However, she broke up with him when she was wooed by billionaire Montgomery Burns, whom she came close to marrying before Abraham's intervention made her decide she was better off alone.
