Rue McClanahan, Estelle Getty, Betty White and Beatrice Arthur
Hollywood certainly lost a talented and wonderful actress. Bea Arthur was larger than life and an extremely gifted actress. She had been battling with lung cancer for years. Bea Arthur died on April 25th 2009.
Her most recognized roles were in the 1970's sitcom 'Maude' and my favorite to this day 1990's sitcom 'Golden Girls'. My family and I would watch this magnificent program every week on NBC. I loved Blanche Devereaux because she was feisty and flirty played by Estelle Gettty. I cried and cried because I know she was a gift from God and is truly irreplaceable.
