Pat Carroll, award-winning actress and comedian perhaps most memorably known as the voice of Ursula the sea witch in The Little Mermaid, died at the age of 95.
Carroll made her film debut in 1948’s Hometown Girl, then made her Broadway debut in 1955 in Catch a Star!, earning a Tony nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Musical. On TV, she won an Emmy in 1957 for the sketch comedy show Caesar’s Hour.
In 1963, Carroll was cast as the voice of Jane Jetson in The Jetsons but was replaced over sponsor conflicts with her show at the time, Make Room for Daddy.
Carroll considered her 1989 performance as Ursula the sea witch in The Little Mermaid one of her favorite roles.
