In the Season 30 finale of The Simpsons, “Crystal Blue-Haired Persuasion,” Homer’s work cuts children’s healthcare benefits, so Marge turns to buying healing crystals as a cheaper solution for Bart’s ADD. Bart begins to succeed in school, prompting Marge to open her very own crystals empire and sell to the naive.
The New Age Clerk is voiced by Illeana Douglas. She’s known for her roles in films including To Die For (Janice Maretto), Martin Scorsese’s Cape Fear (Lori Davis) and Goodfellas (Rosie), among others. Douglas was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in 2002 for her guest role as Angela on Six Feet Under. Fun fact: she is the granddaughter of two-time Oscar Award winning actor Melvyn Douglas (Being There, Hud). The Simpsons airs Sundays at 8 pm on FOX, right before Bob’s Burgers.
