That leaves Betty White as the only survivor of the wonderful series 'The Golden Girls' (ironically, she is the eldest of the four actresses). The world has lost three talented women in a relatively short time.
'The Golden Girls' was a show that really transcended generations. I loved it and I was 18-25 years old during its original airing.
While I really admired Dorothy's (Bea Arthur's character's) intellect, it was Blanche Devereaux (Rue McClanahan's character) that I was so unlike and secretly wanted to be--a Southern lady who was very comfortable with herself sexually and truly enjoyed life to the fullest. McClanahan played that role to the hilt, and although she originally read for the part of Rose (Betty White's character), she truly breathed life into Blanche.
May she rest in peace.
