- Pat Carroll, The Little Mermaid, 1989. "An answer to a prayer," said Carroll on winning her lifetime’s ambition - voicing a Disney character. Ursula had been first designed for Bea Arthur - far too busy with The Golden Girls, 1985-1992. Next? Divine (!), Charlotte Rae, Roseanne the Absolutely Fabulous Jennifer Saunders and singer Nancy Wilson. Plus a slew of veteran ladies: Browne, Nancy Marchand, Sylvia Sidney and Elaine Stritch - who won the gig, then lost it after disputes with lyricist Howard Ashman.
