RIP Bea. She was so funny in Golden Girls.

Bea could say more with a look or a jesture than she could with the lines.  She brought to the put-upon and luckless Dorothy Zbornak a grace and charm the character did not deserve.

Dorothy:  "Why don't I just wear a sign that says 'Too ugly to live'?

Blanche:  "Fine, but what are you going to hang it from - the chain or the pearls?"

Dorothy:  "Neither!  I'm going to spray paint it on my hump!"

Always found her to be somewhere between "Unlikable" and "Downright hateful" myself.

Here's one of her lesser known roles.  Please accept my apologies for this.
