ESTELLE GETTY DIED AT 84

I love ESTELLE GETTY. She made me laugh in "The Golden Girls". I was sorry when I read that she was suffering from advanced dementia which explained her sudden disappearance from the sitcom which replaced their popular sitcom starring the same actresses without Bea Arthur some years back.

I like watching her carrying her purse whereever she went.



LOS ANGELES - 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.

“She was loved throughout the world in six continents, and if they loved sitcoms in Antarctica she would have been loved on seven continents,” her son said. “She was one of the most talented comedic actresses who ever lived.”
