Voiced by: Bette Midler
Tropes associated with Georgette:

- It's All About Me: She gets a little better though.
- Large Ham: Nearly every line is a slice of pure pork, as you would expect from her voice actress.
- Lovable Alpha Bitch: She does have a heart, especially towards the end.
- Really Gets Around: Just check out her shrine to her admirers! Even Ratigan appears in there.
- Rich Bitch: A literal example!
- Shrine to Self: Her room is not only stuffed with photographs and paintings of her and many, MANY mirrors, but statues of her make up most of her bed, flank her vanity table, and even her dog bowl has a few miniature Georgettes on it.
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair: It is unclear whether her fur was dyed blue, naturally blue, or intended as gray via Hair Color Dissonance.
