PrintableWow. I use to watch the Golden Girls just to see and hear Estelle Getty cracking funny jokes on Betty White. Man, she will be greatly missed.
R.I.P Estelle Getty. You were a wonderful person. “When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a Communist.” Brazilian bishop Dom Hélder Câmara | |

Sophia was my absolute favorite "Golden Girl". Her comedic delivery was priceless!
Let's sing the song one time for Estelle! Thank you for being a friend Traveled down the road and back again your heart is true you're a pal and a confidant I'm not ashamed to say I hope it always will stay this way My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow And if you threw a party Invited everyone you knew You would see, the biggest gift would be from me and the card attached would say, Thank you for being a friend Thank you for being a friend Thank you for being a friend Thank you for being a friend RIP Estelle!  [Edited 7/23/08 11:02am] I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

I have to admit to being a closet Golden Girls fan, she was by far the best character. Sad times. Happy is he who finds out the causes for things.Virgil (70-19 BC). Virgil was such a lying bastard! | |

I am gonna miss her like I really knew her. What comes to mind is that last episode when Dorothy got married and at the end kept going out the door and then coming back. The final time they waited but the door never opened. I would like to think of Estelle Getty in that same way leaving us, And us hoping that door would open again. And because she is dead, If that door did open I would run like I was in grade school. 
RIP | |

RIP That last episode was sad. They never should have bothered with Golden Palace. | |

Lifetime will pay tribute to her on Friday with a "Golden Girls" marathon from noon to five p.m. The final episode of the marathon, airing at 4:30 p.m., will be the favorite Sophia-centric episode as voted for by fans at MyLifetime.com.
The poll doesn't seem to be up and running yet | |

The poll doesn't seem to be up and running yet How Do You Solve a Problem Like Sophia would be my vote.  She wants to be a nun.

i'm not so much saddened by her death...after all, she was 84...just that some body so funny and so talented, someone who's made me laugh since i was a little kid, will not be around to make me laugh (other than reruns, as usual).
such a shame she had dementia and suffered so much these last years. she was a one of a kind lady, playing that Sophia Petrillo role as i could never imagine anyone else doing. i'm forever thankful for her existence. An individualist is a man who lives for his own sake and by his own mind; he neither sacrifices himself to others nor sacrifices others to himself... | |

So nice to see so many people on here saying nice things about Estelle Getty. She probably would have a funny comment for it too, if she didn't pass away from dementia (poor thing). RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

I was sad to see her struggle with her disease.....now she's gone. I should pull out my dvds and have a marathon of Golden Girls. 
Yeah, I'm kind of surprised she lived as long as she did. She'd been ill for so long. One of my fave Sophia (and Blanche) moments.
great acting: 2 min. 23. yes SIR! | |

psychodelicide said: My favorite Sophia episode of "The Golden Girls" was when she befriended that older gentlemen. I think he has Alzheimer's, and eventually had to move out of state to be put into a home. Very very touching episode!
They're showing this episode right now! Too cool! RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |
