Flashback: The Golden Girls on Gay Marriage
The Golden Girls were wise beyond their collective years. (And that's really saying something!) In this snippet, Blanche's brother is marrying a man (you could do that then, apparently) and the Southern belle is not charmed. But leave it to Sophia to dole out the only argument ever really needed for gay marriage: they love each other.

Saying Goodbye to Bea Arthur
I was heartbroken to learn that Bea Arthur died this weekend in her LA home at the age of 86. Already the Web is overflowing with tributes to the distinguished comedic actress, which says so much about her great talent.

Thank You For Being a Friend? Miami Has the Least Volunteers
Though the quintessential Miamian, the late Sophia Petrillo, might disapprove —the Southern city has just been found at the bottom of the friendly heap.

Lifetime Remembers Estelle Getty With Golden Girls Marathon
The news of Estelle Getty's death has really put a cloud over my week. Since her passing, I keep finding myself wandering over YouTube to watch classic Golden Girls clips (the best are the ones with Getty's feisty old Sophia giving Blanche hell). It just reminds me of what a touchstone The Golden Girls really was.
Farewell, Estelle!
We love us some Golden Girls here at GiggleSugar, so it was very sad to hear that Estelle Getty, my favorite Golden Girl, passed away yesterday, three days before her 85th birthday. Estelle got her start in the Yiddish theater and as a comedian in the Catskills' "Borscht Belt." Her star began to rise when she played Harvey Fierstein's mother in the Broadway production of Torch Song Trilogy, but it was her role as the wise-cracking, take-no-prisoners Sophia on The Golden Girls that made her a comic legend.

Sad news this morning, Buzz readers: Estelle Getty (a.k.a. Sophia from The Golden Girls) has passed away at the age of 84.
Best known as Sophia, the snappy, sarcastic mother of Bea Arthur's character Dorothy, Getty endeared herself to audiences everywhere for being hilariously no-nonsense — effectivey shattering the stereotype of the sweet old lady.
