Dr. Wendy Sage is a fictional character on the television animated sitcom The Simpsons. She works as a hypnotherapist and she is also a breast cancer survivor. She visibly has one of her breasts removed. Development and casting She was created and voiced by Renee Ridgeley, an actress, writer, and real-life breast cancer survivor and the wife of Simpsons writer Matt Selman who said: “While Sage has all the telltale signs of a breast cancer survivor: a visible scar from a port-o-cath (a device used to deliver chemotherapy), curly hair regrowing from chemo treatment, an obviously one-breasted appearance, and is visually concave on her mastectomy side, the episode does not focus on her past disease. "Sage shows up as exactly who she is now," she added. "By living openly as a one-breasted woman, she sends a message of acceptance and wholeness celebrated by individuals in marginalized groups." Sage was featured in the episode Lisa's Belly that aired during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Cultural reception Sage has been very well received by fans of The Simpsons. See Also
