Career

In the animated film industry she was best known as the voices of the evil stepmother Lady Tremaine in the 1950 Disney animated feature film, Cinderella and the wicked fairy Maleficent in the Disney 1959 animated feature film, Sleeping Beauty. For both films, animator Marc Davis created the characters' facial features to resemble Audley.

She also provided the voice of Madame Leota in the Haunted Mansion attractions in Disneyland and Walt Disney World, speaking the memorable lines, "Rap on a table. It's time to respond. Send me a message from somewhere beyond!"
