5. Meryl Streep
Character: Jessica Lovejoy, Bart’s major crush and misbehaving equal
Episode: 'Bart’s Girlfriend', Season 6 (1994-'95)
Streep is the perfect mix of beguiling and devilish as Reverend Lovejoy’s rebellious daughter (“I told the Reverend I was going to my room to say my prayers…”).
Bart falls for her hard and fast, describing her to Lisa as like a Milk Dud – “Sweet on the outside, poison on the inside” – while producer David Mirkin praised Streep for her ability to be “easily evil” in her recording sessions.
4. David Duchovny & Gillian Anderson
Character: Mulder & Scully
Episode: 'The Springfield Files', Season 8 (1996-'97)
The celebrated X-Files crossover featuring Leonard Nimoy, the FBI and a luminous peace-preaching alien was made possible by the Fox factor.
While X-Files creator Chris Carter said it was “an honour” to be satirised by the Simpsons, Duchovny went even further and suggested they do a return cameo, with Simpsons characters appearing, Roger Rabbit-style, alongside Mulder and Scully. U... huh.

Can you do a South Park list as an companion to this one? I'm thinking Mel Gibson bouncing around smearing poo everywhere!!

Notice how all the great guest star appearances are all in the early- mid-1990's Simpsons episodes?

I reckon Tony Blair should have been on this, in the episode where the Simpsons go to London

@Ominater Tony Blair is not a movie-star, though he was one hell of an actor...oh, a bit controversial there.

I'm not sure if I missed it or not, I re read the article. But it is a travesty that Glenn Close wasn't even mentioned as Homer's mother! It's along the same mention as liz taylor as Maggie's voice. Just like Maggie's first word as a milestone, Homer finding out that his mother is alive should at least be mentioned as the top 5.
