1. No; Marge did not (she was always referred to as "Mom" or "Mrs. Simpson", even in the credits)

2. Yes; the one that immediately comes to my mind is Elizabeth Taylor, who has been both herself and Maggie
Krusty Gets Kancelled; Lisa's First Word

3. Yes; Maggie is not in a number of episodes, including The Last Temptation of Homer, in which no pictures of her appear, either

4. Yes; for example, Milhouse has had two 10th birthday parties (Bart was not at the "first" one but was at the "second" one), and there have been various "last days of school" (including one that took place at a different school)
Homer Defined; Homie the Clown; Kamp Krusty; The Secret War of Lisa Simpson

5. It depends on how you define "celebrates".  They show Homer on his birthday, but everybody else has forgotten it.

Despite what earlier versions of this quiz said, and what it says in pretty much every other site, Catherine O'Hara did not voice Moe's waitress in Flaming Moe's; according to the DVD commentary, Jo Ann Harris (the voice of Janey and other young girls besides Sherri and Terri) did.  (O'Hara may have actually recorded her lines, but it was felt Harris's voice fit the part.)

48. L.A. Law; Dan Castellaneta played someone who worked as a costumed Homer Simpson at an amusement park but was fired for taking off his mask (he was overheating); to show how hot the mask was, the lawyers got the jurors to put on the masks (and note that Dan's face was never shown when he used his Homer voice, presumably as part of the policy to make the characters "as real as possible" by not having the actors do the voices on TV, although at least one has)
