I Did What I Wanted: Actress, Author and Filmmaker Nancy Cartwright

Superwomen with Rebecca Minkoff

She is probably one of the most famous people whose face you might never recognize. Nancy Cartwright’s fantastically versatile voiceover has graced television in the U.S. and the world over for 42 years, and while she is likely best known as the voice of Bart Simpson, she has played a plethora of other memorable characters, in addition to her creative litany of accomplishments that include writing books and films, directing, and promoting her philanthropic work.

From her early days working at a radio station in Ohio, to her decision to transfer to UCLA to be near her voiceover mentor, and then to pursue Fellini in Italy, Nancy’s courageous spirit has never let “what if’s” get in the way. Whether she is doing the voiceover for her new audiobook, or directing her latest film, Nancy illuminates the importance of listening to the creative impulse. As the best example of following your instincts to make a life that is both fulfilling and successful, Nancy shows that you can most certainly follow your heart and make it happen!

Thanks for listening! Don't forget to order Rebecca's new book, Fearless: The New Rules for Unlocking Creativity, Courage, and Success.
