Luanne Platter (King of the Hill)

In memory of Brittany Murphy (November 10, 1977 – December 20, 2009)

Luanne Leanne Kleinschmidt (née Platter) (born July 29, 1979) is the daughter of Hoyt and Leanne Platter- though more notably the niece of Peggy Hill and Hank Hill and cousin of Bobby Hill. She is also the wife of Lucky Kleinschmidt, and the mother of Gracie Kleinschmidt.

Why She Rocks

 * 1) She is one of the most sweetest characters in the series.
 * 2) We can sympathize with her for having terrible parents, hence the reason she stays with her Aunt Peggy and Uncle Hank.
 * 3) Despite her past life being rough prior to moving in with the Hills, she still remains friendly and sweet.
 * 4) She loves her family very much, seeing Aunt Peggy and Uncle Hank as her parents, and cousin Bobby as her brother.
 * 5) She’s very beautiful.
 * 6) Her childish moments are cute and funny.
 * 7) She isn’t always childish. There are times where she can be mature.
 * 8) She had a good relationship with Buckley, and had a heartwarming episode with him being her guardian angel in "Wings of the Dope".
 * 9) She has a good relationship with her husband, Lucky, who she loves very much.
 * 10) She’s a very sweet mother to her baby daughter, Gracie, who she loves very much.
 * 11) In a similar case to Meg Griffin, she wants people to like her for her personality, not for her looks, and she has her family and friends to prove that.
 * 12) Great voice acting by the late Brittany Murphy.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Her childish attitudes can be annoying sometimes. It also makes Bobby look like the older cousin.
 * 2) While nowhere near as bad as seasons 7-30 Lisa Simpson or seasons 8-15 Meg Griffin, Luanne sometimes has a short temper, especially when dealing with people who like her just for her looks.
 * 3) She doesn’t seem to understand much about some things, like how to be a proper mother, despite being caring and sweet, and she does at least ask her family to help her out.
 * 4) She was at her worst in "Uh-Oh, Canada", for not helping her Uncle Hank stop fighting with their new Canadian neighbors for barely any good reason. Likewise, she has done some other bad things, such as dating Boomhauer for one episode, even though he’s older than Luanne.
