Thank you for being a friend, part 2

Earlier this year I wrote about the passing of one of my favorite women on tv, unfortunately as I logged on to check my email tonight - I saw that my favorite tv actress has died. Bea Arthur was my favorite Golden Girl. I loved her on Maude, which I watched in reruns on tv land a few years back (but that I sort of remembered from when I was little - I remember my mom watching it). I think her characters have always been a role model for what I think of as funny - much more so than Lucy or the more popular funny women of television.

It makes me sad that a lot of my role models from when I was little are dying. At least Betty and Rue are still okay.

The Golden Girls have gotten me through some very rough times in the past two years. I have all the episodes on DVD. Whenever I felt down, I could pop in one of those DVDs, and no matter how bad I felt, I could count on a smile because of that show. Bea Arthur was wonderful, and I hate that she's gone.

She was definitely my role model - a tough, funny woman who taught us how to stand up for ourselves.

Yeah, I liked her on both shows. I remember Maude as a child and liked it even though it was WAY over my head. I'm sad she's gone. Long live the Golden Girls!

If she had married Sting, would she be referred to as Bea Sting? That's been on my mind half the morning...
