She added, “I will miss her so much.” In addition to her initial statement, she shared several photos of herself and Pat at the Little Mermaid-themed ride at Disney. Jodi captioned the photos, “A true legend🌟 I saw Pat for the first time on TV in the 1965 movie version of “Cinderella” as Prunella. A brilliant actress, vocalist & comedian. I was so awestruck to work with her on “ The Little Mermaid”. She was kind, generous, so funny, loving & supportive. I just loved her.”
