Disney star dies at 95
American actress and comedian Pat Carroll (95) is dead. She died over the weekend after pneumonia at her home in Cape Cod (US state of Massachusetts). Her daughter Kerry Karsian confirmed this to The Hollywood Reporter.
Carroll also became known through the Disney film “The Little Mermaid” (1989), in the US version of which she lent her voice to the evil sea witch Ursula. For example, she can be heard in the song “Ursulas Zauber”. She was also always present in the Arielle sequels.
Half octopus, half human, the sea witch Ursula gave goosebumps not only to the mermaid Ariel, but also to the fans of the Disney film.
However, in the decades leading up to the first “Arielle” film, Carroll starred in numerous films and sitcoms such as “The Mickey Rooney Show”, “Galaxy High School” and “She’s the Sheriff”.
Pat Carroll leaves behind three daughters and one granddaughter, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
