Pat Carroll was a very funny woman. She was a very funny woman on stage and on screen and also in person. She was also, unlike a lot of funny people, a good audience with a great laugh and no qualms about laughing at what someone else said or did. I talked with her…oh, maybe a half dozen times, once when she was in doing voice work on a Garfield special. She was a wonderful voice actress as proven when she spoke for Ursula, the villainess of the Disney film, The Little Mermaid. That someone that nice could play someone that evil was amazing.
