Great performance by Ms. Carroll, RIP. In the Latin-Spanish version, believe it or not, Ursula was amazingly dubbed by a real-life drag queen, Serena Olvido (="serene oblivion", lol!).

I never met Pat Carroll and I'm not very familiar with her work, but we were very vaguely sort of related. She was my cousin's ex-husband's brother's wife.

She was on American TV for decades, and seemed a good sort.

Here she is in 1977 with a pre-ET Dee Wallace and that Angie person:

Yes, perhaps most memorably on The Danny Thomas Show where she played the wife of Danny's best friend.
