Pat Caroll
Ursula, The Little Mermaid
B. May 5, 1927, D. July 30, 2022
This past Thursday July 30, the animation world lost the memorable and talented voice artist, Pat Caroll. Cast to play the villain in the Disney's animated feature, the Little Mermaid, released in 1989, Pat Caroll's distinctive voice brilliantly brought the character of Ursula to life. Her deeper pitched tone, the rich subtleties of emotion in her voice and her dramatic flair really exuded the deliciousness of Ursula's character. She was perfectly cast to play this part and she also sang the passionate and dramatic musical number, "Poor Unfortunate Souls!"

Pat Caroll will be missed....a truly "Fortunate Soul!" that will live on for all of us to enjoy everytime we enjoy the Little Mermaid. Thank you for giving us such a memorable performance and may you rest in peace.
