The Emmy Award-winning actress Pat Carroll, best known for voicing Ursula the Sea Witch in Disney's "The Little Mermaid," has died at age 95. 

Carroll's daughter, Kerry Karsian, told The Hollywood Reporter the actress died of pneumonia in her home in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

The actress was prominent throughout the '60s, '70s, and '80s in television shows including "The Danny Thomas Show," "She's the Sheriff," "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," and "Laverne & Shirley." She won an Emmy for her role in the variety series "Caeser's Hour" in 1957.

She began voiceover work in the '60s and lent her voice to cartoons — "Yogi's Treasure Hunt," "Pound Puppies," and "Superman" among them— before landing the role of the tentacled villain in the Disney classic animated film in 1989. 

"It was a lifelong ambition of mine to do a Disney film," she told author Allan Neuwirth in an interview for the book "Makin' Toons: Inside the Most Popular Animated TV Shows and Movies." "So, I was theirs, hook, line, and sinker."
