Jennifer Tilly voices her. She is forty-six, quiet and even-tempered, mother to Kevin and Susie Swanson and daughter-in-law to Bud Swanson. Her first appearance was the first-season episode "A Hero Sits Next Door", and she was pregnant from that appearance onwards, a condition the series left unresolved for six years of its run. She gives birth to her daughter, Susie, in the seventh-season episode "Ocean's Three and a Half". ## Credited appearances Credited in the principal cast or guest list of 70 episodes across 21 seasons.
