Marcia Wallace, voice of 'Simpsons' Krabappel, dies

Los Angeles - Marcia Wallace, the voice of Edna Krabappel on The Simpsons, has died.

Simpsons executive producer Al Jean said in a statement on Saturday that her death is a terrible loss.

He said Wallace's "irreplaceable character", the fourth-grade teacher who has to deal with Bart Simpson's constant antics, would be retired from the show.

The long-time TV actress' credits ranged from playing a wise-cracking receptionist on The Bob Newhart Show to appearances on Candice Bergen's Murphy Brown.
