Who is paid more? Marcia Cross (”Desperate Housewives”) or Julie Kavner (Marge Simpson voice on “The Simpsons”)

Answer: Being around for more than two decades has served the voice talent of “The Simpsons” well. Even though Kavner could walk down the street unrecognized, she makes a whopping $400,000 an episode or $8.8 million a year. That’s a wee bit more than Cross, who makes $375,000 an episode for what will be final season of ‘Housewives.”

Julie Kavner has come a long way since her days playing Rhoda's kid sister Brenda Morgenstern. I'm sure she brought home a much smaller paycheck in those days. Good on her for carving out such a successful career for herself.
