Why Is Lisa Simpson on Mad Men?

Ok, it wasn't actually Lisa Simpson, but Yeardley Smith, the actress who provides her voice, who made a brief appearance on last night's episode of Mad Men as a nurse in the hospital where Betty gave birth. I find it interesting that the cast members of The Simpsons continue to do other acting gigs, considering how much money they make per episode of the animated series. Out of the cast only Julie Kaver doesn't do other work. I suppose it's the love of acting which makes them branch out, and I'm guessing Yeardley didn't take the bit part for the paycheck. She's most likely a fan of the program, and would take any opportunity to appear on it.
