Golden Girl Estelle Getty has passed on today sadly. We get the following news from CNN
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.
Estelle Getty, was known for playing Sophia on the show “Golden Girls.” 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.
Estelle Getty was a funny lady. During summers off from grade school, I would watch the Golden Girls to kill the afternoon, and I am better for it. I plan to drink Colt 45 in her honor today and will spill some on the ground, out of respect. Estelle Getty, we salute you life and career.
Rest in peace now Estelle, thanks for making us laugh.
‘Picture this: Sicily 1929……..’ those were the best from her. Farewell Ma, Sal is waiting for you at the gates of Heaven.
May the force be with you, Estelle.
I loved her character on the Golden Girls.
RIP, Estelle.
My prayers go out to her family and friends God Bless Estelle

Whatever happens, don’t look down. (not my joke, its Beatrice Arthur’s)”
I think that’s the best pic you could have found of her Doug. God speed Estelle.
