For those of you who know me know how much of a Golden Girls fan I am.  I watched the series since it first began and enjoy watching it on syndication over and over.  The show is truly a classic.

I came home today to the news that we lost another Golden Girl.  Bea Arthur who played the role of sarcastic Dorothy Zbornak died of Cancer at her Los Angeles home with her family at her side.

“She was a brilliant and witty woman,” said Watt, who was Arthur’s personal assistant for six years. “Bea will always have a special place in my heart.”

Her co-stars Betty White & Rue McClanahan spoke to Entertainment Tonight with their reactions.

“I knew it would hurt, I just didn’t know it would hurt this much.. I’m so happy that she received her Lifetime Achievement Award while she was still with us, so she could appreciate that. She was such a big part of my life.” said White

“[Thirty-seven] years ago she showed me how to be very brave in playing comedy. I’ll miss that courage. And I’ll miss that voice.”McClanahan said.

She is survived by two sons Matthew, 47, and Daniel, 44 from her second marriage to Gene Saks.  Fellow GG star Estelle Getty passed away last July.

R.I.P., you will be missed.
