Joanne Mildred Simpson was the wife to the loving and strict Phil Simpson in the second installment in the Child's Play series. She was portrayed by renowned veteran BAFTA and Emmy-winning actress Jenny Agutter (who was at the time presumably under contract by the the second film's distributor Universal to appear in the studio's films once in every ten years (including The Railway Ch'ildren in 1970 , the cult classic An American Werewolf in London in 1981 and an uncredited cameo appearance in Darkman which was released during the same year the second film was released). Before Agutter was cast, Veronica Cartwright of Alien was considered to play Joanne Simpson.

Joanne was a well supplying adoptive mother for all the male and female children she kept in contemporary adoptive care.

However her latest child to be held at the Simpson residence was to have an old childish thing of unspeakable horror unleash a truly terrorfying and evil demise upon the unexpected loving couple.

Joanne died in 1990 at the hands of the Charles Lee Ray Good Guy Doll form Chucky.

Joanne was also the adoptive mother of Kyle the reckless runaway who overcame Chucky alongside Andy.

Like her husband the the Simpson family, her exterior foster family background made her an embodiment of stereotypical general family-valued elements (including her being a mother and housewife who cooks and clean, having an office-worker for a husband as well as having huge house fit for a general family (which consists of two-stories and a basement) and a family station wagon).

Biography

Joanne Simpson lived on Prescott Lane with her husband Phil Simpson where they spent the remainder of their days supplying for the brief adoptive children they helmed after the harrowing truth that Joanne cannot give birth to any biological children.

Joanne instantly felt compassion for Andy unlike Phil who was wary of his distant and strange behaviour and questions Andy's sanity (and presumably worries that Andy could have committed the murders himself in the past, but was never proven).

Joanne at one point of the second Chucky discovered her priceless family China ornament passed down broken which was used in the murder of good guy doll Tommy which Chucky looking identical assumed the identity of to remain in the Simpson residence and close to Andy.

Joanne fought with Phil's recommendations and arguments for Andy about his alleged criminal insanity and being the secret murderer for Chucky's body count up until his tragic death which grief-strickenly disillusioned her about her beliefs about Andy and she angrily held him accountable for and instead of having him charged with murder to the police (as there was no visible evidence of Andy for being her husband's killer and Andy was still underaged at that time to be arrested), he emotionally packed him away back to the orphanage for involuntary manslaughter.

The last person to see Joanne alive before heading upstairs to her demise was Kyle.

Death

Joanne was killed by Chucky inside her and Phil's bedroom moments after the authorities and paramedics left the premises and Kyle had continued to smoke and swing from the outside swing.

Her throat was slit by the good guy play knife with its durable sharp edge and gagged while her sowing machine was left rapidly pumping away mimicking the horror of an evil horrorifying murder.
