Maggie Roswell (born November 14, 1952) is an American actress, comedian, writer and producer from Los Angeles, California.

In 1994, Roswell and her husband Hal Rayle moved from Los Angeles to Denver to raise their daughter.

This ultimately led to her requesting a pay raise in 1999; however, Fox refused to offer her the amount she wanted so she quit the show.

In the 1980 film Midnight Madness, she played a character that leads a group of sorority sisters who are participating in a college puzzle solving race.

[12] In addition, Roswell played some minor roles in television shows in the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s,[4] including guest appearances on Remington Steele (1983),[13] Masquerade (1984),[14] Happy Days (1984), Murphy Brown (1993), and Quantum Leap (1993).

In 1986 she appeared in improvisatory shows directed by Paul Sills at Lamb's Theatre, in which the actors were given characters and situations by the audience members.

[15][16] In 1988, she had a role in Julia Sweeney's play Mea's Big Apology at Groundling Theatre in Los Angeles.

[17] She played Eunice, a cynical woman who works at a malpractice insurance company and is a colleague to the main character.

So she can easily slip into the gal next door or any number of assorted reporters, medical students, jury members, accountants, scientists and moms.

[11] She also received a 1997 Annie Award nomination in the category "Best Individual Achievement: Voice Acting by a Female Performer in a TV Production" for her role as Shary Bobbins in the episode "Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious", but lost to June Foray.

[11][22] She and her spouse established "The Roswell 'n' Rayle Company" for this purpose, and built a recording studio in their basement.

[2][11] In 1994, they did radio advertisements in Denver for Burger King, Christy Sports, and an insect exhibit at the Museum of Natural History.

[2][4] The dispute was not revealed to the press at first; Fox originally reported that she decided to quit only because she was tired of flying between Denver and Los Angeles for the recording sessions.

[32][33] As a result of Roswell's departure, Marcia Mitzman Gaven was hired to voice her characters,[34] with Maude Flanders killed off in the episode "Alone Again, Natura-Diddily".

[25][35][36] She reached a deal with Fox to record her lines from her Denver home,[36] the dispute ended,[25] and Roswell has remained on the show.

On February 7, 1999, she debuted as a nightclub singer at the Denver Chop House & Brewery, where she performed on behalf of the homelessness charity Family Homestead.
