Blanche has gone to the big Rusty Anchor in the sky where it will always be Nickel Beer Night and Spring Break t-shirts will forever be wet.

Estelle was the youngest and the first to go. Oh Sophia was my fave.

Rue will be missed. Golden Girls was one of the best sitcoms. I still watch reruns. So sad.

Betty White is kicking pretty hard these days, and I am happy. This must be tough for her to be the last one standing.

Actually, Rue was the youngest by about 11 years.  Estelle was a couple of months older than Bea.  Betty was/is the oldest.

You are correct. I was thinking about her playing the older mom of Dorothy when she was younger. I was wrong about her being the youngest one.
