Estelle Getty was in Golden Girls?!

I only know her from "Stop or my Mom Will Shoot".

Ahhh, Sly...When will the world recognize your comic genius?

And meanwhile, all those Golden Girls probably were incontinent. Whoo!

I've had this obit stashed away for years, editing and re-editing it, waiting for the sad day when my work would finally come to light. Beautifully illustrated with this Wikipedia Commons portrait.

I liked her too, alot actually - but come on, there should be mention when good (non-corrupt) figures in our metro area community pass away not when random sitcom actresses go to a better place. IMO

a.) She hadn't worked in years because she had advanced dementia.
b.) I would hardly describe this as an obit.

Wait - you guys can do an obit for a Golden Girl who lived on the other side of the country and hasn't worked in years but no mention of the below?
