Marcia Karen Wallace (November 1, 1942– October 25, 2013) was an American actress, voice artist, comedian, and game show panelist, primarily known for her roles in television situation comedies. She is perhaps best known for her roles as receptionist Carol Kester on the 1970s sitcomThe Bob Newhart Show, and as the voice of elementary school teacher Edna Krabappel on the animated series The Simpsons, for which she won an Emmy in 1992. The role was retired after her death.
Wallace was known for her tall frame, red hair, and distinctive laugh. She had a career spanning five decades in TV, in film, and on stage. A frequent guest on The Merv Griffin Show, she was personally recruited for the soon-to-appear network sitcom The Bob Newhart Show, in a role created especially for her. Diagnosed with breast cancer in 1985, she became a cancer activist, and remained so throughout her life.
Early life
Marcia Karen Wallace was born in Creston, Iowa, on November 1, 1942, the eldest of three children of Arthur "Poke" Wallace and wife Joann. Her father owned and operated "Wallace Sundries", a general merchandise store, where Marcia, her sister Sharon, and brother Jim would often help out. While in high school, a teacher encouraged Wallace to consider a career in acting after she did well in a school play. Prior to that, Wallace had been interested in journalism. Following graduation from Creston High School, Wallace attended Parsons College in Fairfield, Iowa, which had offered her a full scholarship. She was a member of the Delta Nu Chapter of Delta Zeta sorority. At Parsons, she majored in English and Theater, performing in such productions as Brigadoon and The Music Man.
"I don't know what religious people do. I kind of wished I'd been a Christian with the blind faith that God is doing the right thing. As a Buddhist, you feel like you have more control over the situation, and that you can change your karma."
"I have a deep conviction that our lives are eternal, that it is waking and sleeping, that we are born together with the people we love lifetime after lifetime."
"Be good to yourself. Listen to your body, to your heart. We're very hard on ourselves, and we're always feeling like we're not doing enough. It's a terribly hard job."
"When you're going through all of this, the last thing you're thinking of as a patient, and especially as a caregiver, is to give yourself something that nurtures you and something that helps you not to get overwhelmed and burned out. Poetry, silence, walks, back rubs, or swimming, whatever, it's the thing you need most, and it's the thing you have to give yourself."
"I asked for help, which is the hardest thing in the world."
"There is no such thing as an unreasonable question, or a silly question, or a frivolous question, or a waste-of-time question. It's your life, and you've got to get these answers."
"You know, this is a business where only 15% make a living wage and only 9% of those are women. But I figured somebody has to be that 15%, somebody's got to be one of those women."
"I think illness is a family journey, no matter what the outcome. Everybody has to be allowed to process it and mourn and deal with it in their own way."
"Nurses are my heroes... We dealt with a lot of oncology nurses... They are unsung and underpaid."
"Being a caregiver is the most thankless role in the world. Everybody gives the patient some slack, as they should, but the caregiver has the stress of life and then you put a catastrophic illness on top of it, and the stress goes through the roof."
"I went to these mixers, you know, where you're supposed to meet people. And sure enough, some guy asked me for my phone number. but at the end of the evening he gave it back."
We sat down with Marcia Wallace and asked her some rapid-fire questions.

let them run and hide, the sun is falling coming out of nowhere, the dark is calling faster than the eye can see, the aggression sets in an outsider in the light, let the night begin crying tears of blood, ride the wings of hate we'll always be the same, the night we dominate your wish is your death in this world of oppression you can't change our minds our drug is aggression the clouds are passing by and the night slowly dies still the fire is burning burning in my eyes when the night has come to an end and we see the light again end of this night of horror living through hell and terror... not for the first time I watch the sky still I wonder why I can't be someone else my soul I will never sell
You can check it out for yourself here. ... This isn’t the first time that a cast member from the series has departed; both MarciaWallace and Phil Hartman died during their time on the show, and their characters were subsequently written out ... .
