Simpsons star Nancy Cartwright has been awarded by the Church of Scientology for donating over $21 million to the organization.

The Simpsons star, 65, best known as the voice of Bart Simpson, received a trophy for achieving ‘Patron Excalibur With Honors’ status late last year.

Cartwright was pictured at the event at the Fort Harrison Hotel in Clearwater, Fla., alongside Scientology CEO David Miscavige.

Speaking in the new issue of Scientology Impact magazine, Cartwright said, “This is the greatest recognition I have ever received in my entire life.”

Cartwright, who plays other characters on the show including Nelson Muntz, Ralph Wiggum and Todd Flanders, converted to the Church in 1991.

She previously came out and defended the Church after the 2015 release of an HBO documentary on Scientology, titled “Going Clear.”

The documentary deconstructed the background of the organization by presenting a history of the group and its founder, L. Ron Hubbard.

The film alleged that stars, including John Travolta, had been forced to stay in Scientology for fear that secrets surrounding their personal lives would come to light.

Supporting the Church, Cartwright said, “This movie, I don’t know what to tell you, it’s called prejudice.

“This is very irresponsible reporting.”

In 2007, Cartwright received the Laureate Patron of Scientology award after donating $10,000,000 to the Church.

His donations in 2007 surpassed those of some of the organization’s biggest Hollywood names, including Tom Cruise.

In 2019, it was reported that she had attained ‘Diamond Laureate With Honors’, reflecting that she had given the organization approximately $17.5 million.

In 2008, trade newspaper Variety reported that the cast of The Simpsons had signed a four-year contract which would see their salaries increased.

Variety said Cartwright’s salary would increase to $400,000 per episode.

In the past, actors have argued that their salaries are relatively low considering the huge popularity and success of The Simpsons.
