Two actors playing Homer and Marge[edit]

Does anyone know if the two actors playing Homer and Marge for Mr Burns are based on real people? I'm almost positive that the actor is meant to be Michael Caine - he looks like him and also speaks with his accent. The actress, I've no idea. Any help? Malrase 17:26, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Meet Me In St.Louis[edit]

Martin sings "The Trolley Song" when he's auditioning for the heir position from "Meet Me In St. Louis" the Judy Garland musical from 1944. Surely that's a cultural reference.

Quote[edit]

"such a great concept that it’s a surprise no went for it earlier." This is in the reception section and appears to be missing a word. WesUGAdawg (talk) 14:31, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Thanks! Theleftorium ^(talk) 16:53, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Homer Fraud[edit]

Am I being silly here, or is the character actor who plays Homer Simpson in Mr Burns' fraudulent Simpsons family meant to be Michael Caine? FieldOfWheat (talk) 09:14, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
