The actress we all loved from The Star Wars Holiday Special and Golden Girls has passed away. Despite the obvious fact she was ill suited to Star Wars, I still enjoyed the scene she appeared in—however bad it was, she still made me laugh...whether the laugh was the intended result or not. She as a comedian after all. I also loved her in the Golden Girls. I will miss her. Rest in peace Bea. :(

Just heard this too. RIP Maude.

Wow! That is terrible news! I loved her in 'Maude'. One of my favorite episodes is the one where John Wayne makes a guest appearance. The old order passeth.....
This very sad news.. was a huge fan of The Golden Girls.. she will be missed.
Another Golden Girl gone, may she rest in peace.
"Thank you for being a friend..." Although I too really knew her from the Holiday Special and Maude, I wasn't a Golden Girls watcher but my wife was.

Bea Arthur passed away today. This is a sad day. My earliest memories of Bea Arthur were watching Maude in the 1970's. I always liked her and thought that she was a great comedic actor. I would have loved to see her play Auntie Mame.
May she rest in peace.
May she rest in peace. I enjoyed her thoroughly in The Golden Girls.

She was a very funny lady! We will miss her!

I didn't realize how much I watched Golden Girls until this morning when people started singing the theme song and I sung every word without missing a single beat.
