July 31, 2022 / 7:02 PMPat Carroll, a comedic television mainstay for decades, Emmy-winner for"Caesar's Hour" and the voice of Ursula in"The Little Mermaid," has died, The Associated Press confirmed. She was 95.
Carroll was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, in 1927. Her family relocated to Los Angeles when she was 5 years old. Her first film role came in 1948 in"Hometown Girl" but she found her stride in television.
A new generation would come to know and love her voice thanks to Disney's"The Little Mermaid," which came out in 1989. She was not the first choice of directors Ron Clements and John Musker or the musical team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, who reportedly wanted Joan Collins or Bea Arthur to voice the sea witch. Elaine Stritch was even cast originally before Carroll got to audition.
"She's a mean old thing! I think people are fascinated by mean characters," Carroll said in an interview."There's a fatal kind of distraction about the horrible mean characters of the world because we don't meet too many of them in real life. So when we have a chance, theatrically, to see one and this one, she's a biggie, it's kind of fascinating for us."
