Ursula (Marlene Casamento) is the secondary antagonist from the 1988 Tales from the Darkside episode, "Basher Malone". She is the ringside manager of Trog (Magic Schwarz), a wrestler from hell who was summoned to defeat the goody-two-shoes protagonist, Basher Malone (Steve Strong) in a wrestling match. The match is sanctioned by the promoter Tippy Ryan (Vic Tayback).
Throughout the episode, she uses a heat-ray gun on Trog to keep him functioning in the non-hellish temperatures of Earth, and cheers him on as he fights Basher in a 2 out of 3 match. She is basically eye candy in the ring, with her red and black lingerie, with black thigh high nylons and choker necklace.
At the beginning of the first round she uses her good looks to distract Basher, allowing Trog to hit him with a cheap shot, and easily take the first win.
Ursula uses her ray gun to increase Trog's weight up to 900 pounds. Ma Malone (Marie Denn), Basher's mother, splashes some ice cold lemonade on Trog, which brings him down to cruiserweight level, and then smashes a brownie down the barrel of Ursula's ray gun, which apparently renders it useless. Basher is able to throw the now lighter Trog off the rope and pin him to gain the second fall. The score is now tied 1-1.
Before the last round, Ursula decides to bring Trog's body temperature up by making out with him. The third round is under way, and the two are going at it pretty good. Late in the fight, Trog slams Basher against the ropes, and Ursula uses the opportunity to intertwine the ropes, pinning Basher's hands inside so he is unable to move. Basher's mother enters the ring with a pitcher full of milk after noticing that her son was losing. While Ursula is perched on the side of the rink, Ma Malone tosses the milk attempting to hit Trog. However, it splashes all over the face lovely Ursula, and it immediately begins to melt her face off and electrocutes it too. It then continues to cause Ursula to begin melting similarly to the Wicked Witch of the West. Everyone in the ring stops to glance over the edge, watching in shock as Ursula is reduced to a pile of seductive clothing and liquid. The ring-leader and Ma Malone exit the ring and stand next to Ursula's remains, examining them in disbelief.
Her death is mostly shrugged off, as the fight continues on until Basher Malone sends Trog and the ring-leader back to hell through the portal in the Pepsi machine.
