Yeardley Smith
For most of her adult life, Yeardley Smith has been the voice behind Lisa Simpson, the saxophone-playing, socially-conscious 8-year-old vegetarian, on TV’s longest-running animated series, The Simpsons. But her career also includes a stint on Broadway, in The Real Thing, a solo Off-Broadway show called Yeardley Smith: More, movies like As Good as It Gets, and roles in Dharma and Greg, Herman’s Head, Murphy Brown and other TV sitcoms. We’ve invited her to take a vacation from the Simpson family home in Springfield for a few months, so let’s ask her what she’d take along in her survival kit.
Her list:
1. Dan, my husband
2. Betsy and Clementine, our 2 cats
3. the yellowtail-jalapeno appetizer from NOBU
4. Lesley Garrett's recording of Lakme's FLOWER DUET and Frank Sinatra's THE CAPITOL YEARS album
5. wood for a fire, but if there's already wood, then I'll bring the singing group ANONYMOUS 4
6. e-mail
7. the book "Mastering the Arts of French Cooking" by Julia Child, and "The Synonym Finder" by J.I. Rodale
8. the films GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES and THE TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE
