No CommentsGolden Girl Estelle Getty has died at the age of 84, as first reported by TMZ.
Getty, who played Bea Arthur’s feisty Sicilian mother on Golden Girls, passed away early this morning at her L.A. home.
Her official website had this message:
“Sadly, today July 22, 2008 at 5:35 a.m. Pacific Time, we said our last good-byes to our little friend Estelle, who passed away and made her journey to the great beyond. Although it was a trip that she never wanted to take, she went gracefully, in the comfort of her own home, surrounded by her family and her very loving care-givers.
Estelle’s legacy will live on and on through the comedy and laughter she gave to us all, which will forever keep us laughing out loud.”
She had been suffering for years with Lewy Body Dementia, which has been described as a type of Alzheimer’s.
Getty is survived by her two adult sons.
