She is the youngest daughter of their household, eternally a baby. Maggie was born in 1993, according to the show's chronology (though the fact she appears in 1987 and is still a baby as of 2005 confuses this). Her exact birthday is unknown, but she was conceived on November_18, thus making her birthday around September_1. Her claim to fame is falling down frequently as she struggles to walk and sucking on her Pacifier, reputedly voiced by Matt_Groening during the Tracey Ullman era and by Nancy Cartwright during the half-hour length series. However, during the series, the sound effect is called from a sampler, making any voice attributions moot. She was named after Margaret "Maggie" Groening, youngest sister of Matt_Groening, creator of ''The_Simpsons''. Little Maggie has gotten herself into many dangerous situations. However, she has always depended on the help of other creatures to get her out of these fixes, like other imprisoned babies when she wanted to escape from a Daycare Center, or a group of grizzly bears when she was lost in the forest. The most significant of Maggie's allies is the town barkeeper Moe_Szyslak, who proved himself an unlikely hero in Season 14 ("Moe_Baby_Blues") when he saved her life twice (once from falling off a bridge and drowning and a second time from an Italian-Mexican gunfight). Maggie is also a crack shot. She shot Charles_Montgomery_Burns in the "Who_Shot_Mr._Burns?" cliffhanger and gunned down the mobsters who had the intention of whacking Homer_Simpson. She knows how to play the Saxophone better than Lisa, but Lisa is the only person who knows this and shows no intention of telling anyone. She has a seemingly limitless supply of pacifiers that she distributes to people and animals who are sad or otherwise seem to need them. Some fans have suggested that Maggie will probably be the real Simpson genius of the family ahead of Lisa. For example, Maggie at one year old could spell EMCSQU (E=MC²) with her toy building blocks whereas Lisa at three considered it impressive that she could spell STAR with her building blocks even if the rest of her family did not. Episodes set in the far future make a few predictions about Maggie. In "Lisa's_Wedding", she seems to take after her brother in being a rebel. She is a sullen teenager who has won a motorcycle trophy at some point. She also wears her pacifier around her neck. She will apparently have an "amazing" singing voice, but her voice is not actually heard in the episode, save for a throat-clearing. The episode "Bart_to_the_Future" revealed that Maggie has become an Astronaut and has a daughter called Maggie Junior, who is identical to as she was as a baby. Whether these predictions are reliable is questionable, not least because The Simpsons never age, but the success of the two female Simpson children (Lisa goes onto become President) and the relative failure of the male Simpson child (Bart works in demolition in "Lisa's_Wedding" and is an unemployed musician in "Bart_to_the_Future") is consistent with the episode "Lisa_the_Simpson", which reveals that genetically, the Simpsons are incredibly intelligent, but the male Simpsons carry a defective gene which reduces their intelligence dramatically. == Maggie talking == With a few exceptions, Maggie does not speak. However, she is keenly aware of events around her and emotes with subtle gestures and facial expressions. Unfortunately, these are the easiest parts to clip out of an episode for syndication, so they may be missed by most people. Maggie's first word ever spoken in the normal continuity of the series was "Daddy" (voiced by three-time Academy_Award winner Elizabeth_Taylor). However, it was not heard by the Simpson family: :Homer: "The sooner kids talk, the sooner they talk back" [tucks Maggie in] "I hope you never say a word." [shuts the door] Maggie: [taking her pacifier out] "Daddy." ("Lisa's_First_Word") Fans generally agree that her second spoken word in the normal continuity of the series was "Daddily-doodily" (voiced by Yeardley_Smith, in "Home_Sweet_Homediddly-Dum-Doodily"). In one early episode, Homer attributes Maggie burping as the word "Burlap" after being chastised earlier in the episode for missing many of Bart's and Lisa's early achievements. Maggie did say "Good night" in "Good Night", the very first Simpsons short on the Tracey_Ullman show, broadcast on April_19, 1987. On that occasion, Liz_Georges (later a star of ''As_Told_By_Ginger'') provided the voice. Maggie has talked during fantasy sequences and Halloween episodes of ''The_Simpsons''. In one Halloween show ("Treehouse_of_Horror_V"), she was played by James_Earl_Jones. "Her" line was "This indeed is a disturbing universe," said after killing Groundskeeper_Willie. In "Brother_Can_You_Spare_Two_Dimes?", Maggie makes a wider-than-usual range of noises which are rendered as speech by an electronic baby translator invented by Homer's half brother Herb. And in "Brother_from_the_Same_Planet" her burp is interpreted as the word "Bart" (intended to remind Homer that he must pick up Bart after a football game). Also in "Flaming_Moe's" Homer starts to imagine everyone saying "Moe" all at once, and Maggie takes out her pacifier and says, "Moe" In most cases, crying and giggling noises have been made by Yeardley_Smith . == Relations == Maggie is: *granddaughter to Abraham_Simpson, Mona Simpson and Jacqueline Bouvier. *daughter to Homer_Jay_Simpson and Marjorie Bouvier Simpson. *Younger sister to Bartholomew Jo-Jo Simpson and Lisa Marie Simpson. *Niece to Herbert Powell, Abbie, Patty_Bouvier and Selma Bouvier Terwilliger Hutz McClure. *Former niece-by-marriage to Robert Underdunk "Sideshow Bob" Terwilliger, Lionel Hutz, Troy_McClure, and Disco Stu. Maggie's arch-nemesis is Baby Gerald, a baby with a Unibrow.
