~ My Golden Love~
I am truly a big fan of the Golden Girls….(yes you read it correctly). I watch it faithfully on lifetime@ 4pm everyday. Mind you I try to break my neck to get home from work to watch it. All of my friends call me an old lady because I love that show so much, but they really don’t understand how hysterical this show really is.
About 3 hours ago I received three text messages saying that Estelle Getty “Sophia” past away. (You would think I knew her the way my friends passed on that information…lol). There could be no other to fill those shoes of “Picture it…Sicily 1937“…lol I am in my late twenties and I LOVE every minute of it.
Estelle Getty, the actress who spent decades struggling in obscurity before becoming an overnight star as a salty, back-talking grandmother in the hit sitcom “Golden Girls,” died July 22 at her home on Hollywood Boulevard at the age of 84. She had been suffering from advanced dementia.
Ms. Getty played the sarcastic, fast-talking mother of Bea Arthur’s character on “The Golden Girls,” the sitcom about four female retirees who share a house. Though the three other actresses — Arthur, Betty White and Rue McClanahan — were far more established, Ms. Getty’s nonstop barrage of peppy, often- off-color zingers quickly grabbed viewers’ attention. Much was made in the press of the fact that, though she played an octogenarian, she was actually more than a year younger than Arthur.
