If many of you didn't know, the brilliant Bea Arthur passed away peacefully on Saturday with her family by her side. Bea had been battling cancer and after 86 years of life, she is now resting in peace. This saddens me because in some weird sort of way, I feel like I lost a grandma of my own...hmm.
You might remember Bea at her best as Dorothy Zbornak from the Golden Girls.
You might remember Bea at her best as Dorothy Zbornak from the Golden Girls. She was the caring daughter of Sophia (Estelle Getty) and the sarcastic friend to Blanche (Rue McClanahan) and Rose (Betty White). The series was set in sunny Miami, where the ladies went through issues with men and dealing with events related to family and age.
I remember when I was a itty bitty Lil' Woman, I would watch this show with my Nanny (that's what we called my mom's mom a.k.a Grandma) This show was staple in the homes of my grandparents, aunts, and neighbors when I was growing up. My Nan loved watching it and we were more than happy to oblige and sit and watch it with her. I still today love to catch re-runs that run on Lifetime. Bea was also famous for playing Maude on her hit series of the same name. Unfortunetly that show was a little before my time so I don't remember it. Goodbye Bea!
Thank you for being a friend and the great Golden Girl that you were! :)
Love that intro song!!
