Rose and Blanche discuss Dorothy

Here is a nice segment from The Today Show featuring Rue McClanahan and Betty White discussing their friend and co-star Bea Arthur.

She'll certainly be missed.

So Long, Bea Arthur

Bea Arthur has succumbed to cancer at the age of 86. She was one of the stars of one of my top five sitcoms in history, The Golden Girls, and today she is gone.

My heart goes out to her family and friends. We have lost a legend today. A woman of amazing wit, charm, and limitless talent.

Those shoes will never be filled.

So long, Bea, say hi to Estelle for us.

RIP Estelle Getty

Estelle Getty has passed away at the age of 84, just shy of her 85th birthday.

She was best known as the spitfire Sophia Petrillo on one of my all time favorite sitcoms "The Golden Girls".

She passed at 5:35 AM this morning surrounded by her family and caregivers at her Los Angeles home. She had been suffering from Lewy Body Dementia for years.

From her official site:


To all of Estelle's Fans,

Sadly, today July 22, 2008 at 5:35 a.m. Pacific Time, we said our last good-byes to our little friend Estelle, who passed away and made her journey to the great beyond. Although it was a trip that she never wanted to take, she went gracefully, in the comfort of her own home, surrounded by her family and her very loving care-givers.

Estelle's legacy will live on and on through the comedy and laughter she gave to us all, which will forever keep us laughing out loud.


For us here, who have known and cared for her for so many years, we've lost our dear little friend who always kept us entertained by filling our days with joyful laughter. Estelle's fans across the globe have lost the feisty little lady known as Sophia Petrillo, whose quick wit, cutting remarks, and outrageous punch lines will forever be quoted and remembered.

Estelle was a fighter. She always stood up for the underdogs, fought for equality for all, and always pictured a world filled with "Love and Laughter" --her most favorite catch phrase.

Estelle, we love you and will miss you dearly. We pray that you are met at the Pearly Gate with open arms and a warm welcome by all who have passed before you. If there's a stage over there, I know you'll be on it. If there's a thrift shop, I know you'll be shopping, and if there's a deli, I know you'll be eating there holding court with Rhoda and Sylvia ... and the laughter will be heard throughout the heavens.

Goodbye, dear friend. Thank you for all the talent and love that you've shared with us during your time here on Earth. You have touched my life, and the lives of so many others who will never forget you.

Until we meet again...

Love and Laughter to You,

Paul Chapdelaine

Rest in Peace Estelle.
