RIP Golden Girl Rue McClannahan

sad

Thank you for being a friend.

http://marquee.blogs.cnn....76/?hpt=T2

Rue McClanahan, the actress known for her roles as the blowzy best friend Vivian on "Maude" and as the prowling Southern belle Blanche on "The Golden Girls," has died. She was 76.

Her manager, Barbara Lawrence, told CNN that she died at 1 a.m. Thursday at New York Presbyterian Hospital of a stroke. Her family was at her side.

The Golden Girls was one of the funniest shows I've ever seen.

Sadly, I worked the night it came on television (Before DVDRs and such), so I missed so many episodes.

Great show. I'm thankful for the laughs they've given me. rose

hug pray hug

RIP Blanche.

Why is this a sticky?

Thank you for being a friend

Traveled down the road and back again

Your heart is true,

You're a pal and a confidant

And if you threw a party

And 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." sun

R.I.P. Rue. rose

I was reading something about a new show that Betty White is doing yesterday and Rue McClannahan crossed my mind. I was hoping with Betty White's resurgance in popularity, that maybe she and Rue may have been able to work together again. Now that definitely won't be happening and it makes me even sadder.

RIP Rue! pray

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

i loved how Rue used to take the grandma's jabs at her sluttiness with a real laugh, you could tell she just couldn't keep a straight face and had to laugh it out lol

i really, really love that show.

I'm really sad to hear this news. I love watching repeats of the Golden Girls on Hallmark and WE.

me too. it's timeless.

also besides their great comedy, i loved the 2-part episode they did where they slammed terrible doctors who instead of telling you they're not sure of your diagnoses, they just tell you you're fine and let you go thinking you're crazy. it was amazingly written.
