Tony Ortega wrote Monday the actress was celebrated for donating this “cumulative” amount to the International Association of Scientologists (IAS), the church’s membership organization.Back in 2019, Cartwright achieved “Diamond Laureate With Honors” status, reflecting that she’d given Scientology about $17.5 million, Ortega said.This new issue of Impact reported that on New Year’s Eve, she received a trophy for reaching “Patron Excalibur With Honors,” suggesting she’s now donated about $21 million in donations to the IAS.Cartwright is also believed to have given a fortune towards the construction of the San Fernando Valley Ideal Org, which opened in 2017.She has been public about being a Scientologist, lobbying state legislators in Illinois in 2011 to allow a children’s version of “The Way to Happiness,” a key text by its founder L.

Ron Hubbard, to be used in schools. And in 1992, she gave a lengthy interview to the Washington Post during a trip to the city with Isaac Hayes, the late singer and South Park voice, to promote the same book, explaining how she became a member after being raised as a Catholic in Dayton, Ohio.

She told the paper that she went to one of its events when she was approaching 30 because she was single, and decided to join, going to its “Celebrity Center” in Hollywood where she performed a purification.

She described it as “sitting in a sauna for hours and taking lots of vitamins … and running.”Cartwright said Scientology allowed actors to be themselves, but added that they can “have a tremendous effect on the public and can serve as role models.”The revelation of the scale of her donations offer an unusual insight into how important big-money celebrities are to the organization.

Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson, has donated at least $21M to Scientology
