Actress Bea Arthur, who starred in the US television sitcom The Golden Girls, has died in Los Angeles, aged 88.

Arthur, who played Dorothy Zbornak to the late Estelle Getty's Sophia Petrillo, died at home of cancer, a family spokesman said.

She was also famous for her role in the sitcom Maude, first creating the character in the comedy series All In The Family.

Arthur also won an Emmy Award for the musical Mame.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

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.

She was the inspiration for one of my favorite internet pics:



RIP Maude.

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