Actor Pat Carroll, who reveled in her iconic role as the voice of animated sea witch Ursula in "The Little Mermaid," died on July 31 at age 95, her daughter confirmed to the Associated Press.
Years after winning an Emmy for her work on "Caesar's Hour," a 1950s sketch comedy series, Carroll made her mark in theatre, snagging a Grammy Award for the recording of her one woman show called "Gertrude Stein, Gertrude Stein, Gertrude Stein."
Her turn as Ursula was a personal favorite, according to the New York Times. Carroll said that voicing the Disney villain was "the one thing in my life that I'm probably most proud of."
"I don't even care if, after I'm gone, the only thing that I'm associated with is Ursula," she said, the outlet reported. "That's OK with me, because that's a pretty wonderful character and a pretty marvelous film to be remembered by."
