Here's a slightly Simpsons related reference:

I saw monsters Inc and a few hours afterwards it finally hit me who the old hag lady monster reminded me of:--Lunch Lady Doris. It wasn't a perfect match--impossible really since the actress is quite dead. But the resemblance was there.

Anyone else catch this, or am I just reaching?

BTW, who was the voice of the monster (Roz)?

Bob Peterson III does the voice of Roz. I haven't seen the movie, though, so I don't know about the Doris reference. I used www.imdb.com to find this out (Internet Movie DataBase)...it's a really good site for stuff like this.

I thought it was "obviously" based on the first baliff character on "Night Court", who died also and was replaced twice (I believe the actor's name was Selma Diamond).

It took me a while to tell Patty & Selma apart - how long did it take you?

From SNPP, (http://www.snpp.com):

(Patty) is distinguished by her triangular earings, circular necklace beads and pinkish dress.

(Selma) is distinguished by the part in her hair, her S-shaped earings, oblong necklace beads and light-blue dress.
