agreed, she MADE that show.
and ent, this is all over the net, but always pictures of her dressed as sophia, she was much more than that. thank you for pix of her as herself.
i wish her peace in her death, as dementia and alzeimer's is/are a horrible way to live, for both the patient and the family. God love her!

Sure thing, It's nice to have something good to say!

Thanks for sharing that, Kar.

2008-07-22T15:20:00.000-07:00

Before she was a Golden Girl I had the great good fortune to work with her under her real name, Estelle Gettleman.

I was just a lowly theater apprentice at the time, over worked, badly paid and at the bottom of the totem pole. I didn't work with her a lot, but when I did she was delightful, genuinely nice, a pleasure to work with, very funny, everything you would hope, and more.

So often on this site, and others, we find out that our idols have feet of clay. Estelle was not one of them, she was just as wonderful as she seemed on TV.

I just thought you all would want to know.

2008-07-22T15:18:00.000-07:00

p.s. See, even in death, Estelle is still helping spread joy throughout the world! (I hope that doesn't sound cavalier - I mean it sincerely.)

Yay, Indigo!!!

Jax, they won't let you add firefox as well? Sometimes I forget how lucky I am that I have total internet freedom at work. After spending my workdays on the computer, it's the last thing I want to do when I get home.

2008-07-22T14:00:00.000-07:00

I read all the time and have posted often, but haven't had much time to since I can only read at work and this whole FREEZING thing is putting a damper on the time I have to check the happenings....but I just couldn't let this go without saying my condolences and paying my respect to Ms. Getty. I love, love, love the Golden Girls and think she (and the other ladies) were comic geniuses. That show is still relevant today and Sophia is still someone I would want to hang out with. My favorite "Sophia" moment is the one where Rose is dating the little person psychologist and Sophia comes home unexpectedly, is very pleasant and then asks to see Dorothy in the kitchen because she's not sure if the guy is a midget or if she was having another stroke! Priceless!

RIP Estelle, may you rest in peace and your memory live on through your awesome talenta and works. Muah!

Jewels -- I STILL say "picture it, Sicily" all the time, and only the cool kids get it. TGG is totally timeless.

You had an absolutely great career, Estelle. You're quite a beloved lady.

This sucks. When Bea Arthur passes, I'm gonna stay in bed for a week. :-(

Oh man. :'(

Thanks for the lovely memorial, Ent. What a truly memorable lady, playing a truly funny character.

You will be missed.

2008-07-22T12:50:00.000-07:00

Aww, how sad. My grandmother walked around clutching her pocketbook all the time just like Sophia.
That show is still funny.

thank you funny lady. R.I.P.
