Pat's father was Maurice Clifton Carroll and her mother was Kathryn Angela (Meagher) Carroll. She began acting at age 5 when her family moved from Louisiana to Los Angeles.
She married talent agent Lee Karsian in 1955. They had 3 children and they divorced in 1976.
During the 1950's to the 1970's, Pat was all over television. Some of the shows were: Caesar's Hour, Make Room for Daddy, The Red Buttons Show, The Danny Kaye Show, The Red Skelton Show, and the Carol Burnett Show. She has been a fixture on tv, theater, and in cartoons, doing voice-over work (Pound Puppies, Scooby-Doo, Garfield, Ursula in The Little Mermaid, and more).
She was active until her death. See an interview with her at She's the world's easiest interview - "Starstruck"

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
