R.I.P., Estelle Getty

No, no, thank you for being a friend, Sophia Petrillo. Sniff, sob. Getty died at her home on Hollywood Boulevard in LA. She was 84.

(Yeah, yeah, there's no SF relation here, but most of us loved -- loved! -- The Golden Girls (especially Helikna and her Trannyshack gaggle who recently put on a stage show of the popular '80s sitcom), so we're letting you know.)

I kinda liked that show. My mom and I used to watch it together. Needless to say, it doesn't hold up very well.

I still watch the show everyday on Lifetime. Estelle will be missed.

My favorite Estelle Getty piece is "Mannequin"!!

Love, Love, Love the Golden Girls! One of the best shows of all time for all ages.
A wonderful cast of characters. Sorry to hear about Estelle having Dementia, It's an unfair wicked disease that robs a family of their loved one even before their death.
