For those of us who prefer words instead of links-only threads:

Rue McClanahan, the Emmy-winning actress who brought the sexually liberated Southern belle Blanche Devereaux to life on the hit TV series "The Golden Girls," has died. She was 76.

Her manager Barbara Lawrence said McClanahan died Thursday (3 June 2010) at 1 a.m. of a stroke.

The Golden Girls was a hit in the UK too, and I really enjoyed it... sorry to hear this news.

That's too bad. I really liked her, too.

So did I. I thought the Golden Girls was well written and the parts well played. My guess is that a lot of girls-turned-women have fantasized about having lots of money, good- if odd -friends and a sunny lifestyle.

Oh, no!   Rue was too full of life, too much fun, and way too young to check out!

What a bummer!

I'll miss ya, Rue!

(That means Betty White is the only Golden Girl still with us -- and she may have been the oldest one!)

Seems that Betty White was the oldest of the four, about 4 months older than Bea Arthur.

My sympathy goes out to her family.
This is a sad week for Hollywood.
