She was the stepsister with the creaky knees in the Leslie Anne Warren CINDERELLA, Ursula the Sea Witch in THE LITTLE MERMAID, and Suzanne Somer's mother on the tv series SHE'S THE SHERIFF.
What other important roles did she take on?
" ...the happiness in the tune convinces me that I'm not afraid."
Another favorite character actress of mine! I first noticed her as, Bunny Halper, the wife of Danny Thomas's agent on Make Room For Daddy. She did a ton of TV in the sixties and seventies, and then in the eighties she did a one-woman show about Gertrude Stein which was actually pretty good. She must be still alive, but I haven't heard anything about her in years.
She has done Urusla for all the movies and various TV shows of THE LITTLE MERMAID. As well as when Ursula makes 'appearances' on other Disney TV shows.
"One no longer loves one's insight enough once one communicates it."
The opposite of creation isn't war, it's stagnation.
Her major theatrical contribution was her one-woman show 'Gertrude Stein, Gertrude Stein' which was very critically acclaimed. She was also a Tony nominee for Catch a Star in 1955 (featured actress in a musical)
I saw her as Mother Superior in a production of Nunsense in Boston.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
She graduated from Catholic University in DC. Upon her graduation, she wanted to get a start in New York theatre, but had no money to get there - so she rode her bike, all the way from DC to NYC!
