Perhaps I am showing my age here.. but yeah I was a fan of the Golden Girls. Not a rabid, must sit in front of the TV whenever it’s on fan.. but a fan never-the-less. Initially I watched mostly for Bea Arthur (Maude) and Betty White (Match Game), again showing my age here, but grew fond of Estelle Getty and Rue McClanahan over the course of the show. They were the senior version of Sex and the City before Carrie put on her first Manolo Blahniks…

Estelle “Sophia” Getty passed away this morning at 84. You will be missed.
