🕑 Added 2024-08-04 15:25:05 +0000 UTCYou would not BELIEVE some of the actresses they considered for Ursula in The Little Mermaid, and for this week's bonus video we're taking a look at some of the most surprising. Mrs. Garrett from The Facts of Life?!?!?!
Also -- take a gander at Pat Carroll (who eventually landed the role) in this amazing appearance on The Merv Griffin Show, with a bonus appearance by some young up-and-comer named Patti LuPone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFEdZjhFtiw
And Charlotte Rae in The Worst Witch -- I hope this is what Agatha All Along is like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivylLFuaY0w

Oh geez she must've been amazing in TMM! I'm so jealous. And delighted that my book is your bedtime reading, that's so sweet!!!

Great video, Matt! One of my favorite Pat Carroll roles was one of the Stepsisters in the Lesley Ann Warren version of "Cinderella". I also saw her play Mrs. Meers in "Thouroghly Modern Millie" at La Jolla Playhouse. She was incredible. I wished she would have recreated the role on Broadway. She was one of my favorite character actresses. I had the wonderful opportunity of playing Ursula at one of the local Theater companies here in San Diego, had a blast!!! Oh, and I love "Honey I'm Homo". I read a chapter a day to my partner, he loves the story time hour, as we call it. Great book!!

Well far be it from me to question the taste of Mr. Ants

That Jeffrey Katzenberg read, I nearly spit my ice tea across the office.
