Teressa Claire "Tress" MacNeille (née Payne) is an American voice actress, who is well-known for her various roles in numerous animated television shows and films. Some of her best known roles include Agnes Skinner and Dolph (amongst other minor characters) in Fox's The Simpsons and Mom in Futurama, Babs Bunny on Tiny Toons Adventures, Charlotte Pickles in Nickelodeon's Rugrats, and Dot Warner (amongst other characters) in Animaniacs.
Early life[]
MacNeille loved cartoons as a child and wanted to be a voice actress from the age of eight, but instead chose a "practical" career, feeling she would never be able to realise her ambition. She graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, and attended broadcasting school, becoming a disc jockey.[1]
Personal life[]
During an interview for Jim Cummings' podcast "Toon'd In! with Jim Cummings", her friend, and Animaniacs cast mate Rob Paulsen mentioned that she has a husband named Mike.[2]
