Estelle Getty, the diminutive actress who spent 40 years struggling for success before landing a role of a lifetime in 1985 as the sarcastic octogenarian Sophia on TV's "The Golden Girls," has died. She was 84. Getty, who suffered from advanced dementia, died at about 5:30 a.m. Tuesday at her Hollywood Boulevard home, said her son, Carl Gettleman of Santa Monica.
Dementia, ugh, that sucks. Nothing worse than being found 12 blocks from your house in your pajama's while thinking it's 1964.
Growing up, the highlight of my week was a Saturday night filled with sexually themed jokes made by 60+ year old women. Golden Girls scarred my youth. I actually thought that Blanche was hot.....excuse me, I need to go suppress some memories.
Let's pour some prune juice out for our fallen homegirl. Thank you for being a friend.
