Estelle Getty (1923 - 2008)


Estelle Getty, who played Sophia, mother of Dorothy, in The Golden Girls has died.

The Golden Girls gained a devoted gay audience in the 1980s and 1990s and still is popular in repeats on pay for view channels in Australia.

You gave us a lot of pleasure Estelle and now can rest in peace free of the threat of return to the Shady Pines home.

    That is so sad!!! We love the Golden Girls. We have all the released DVDs and I remember watching the reruns as a child. :(

    That was a great role for her, and she made it her own.

    I loved The Golden Girls. Estelle was great in that role. Apparently she wasn't the oldest of the four of them.
