News just broke that Estelle Getty of The Golden Girls fame has passed away. What I truly apprecaite about Estelle is that she spent 40 years struggling to make it as an actress before getting the role of a lifetime on Golden Girls. All in all, perhaps Estelle's fame was short-lived. She started on The Golden Girls in 1985, and by 1998 was dealing with ill health. For the past four years she has been too sick to make public appearances.
And who cares? This wonderful woman brought us so much joy. Her legacy will live on forever. There are fewer and fewer people I care to say that about. When I was at San Francisco Pride in June, a friend of mine from Rochester said when he is flipping channels and sees The Golden Girls, he will always stop to watch. So will I. Despite the fact I've seen every episode at least five times, I will continue to watch. And I will continue to laugh. God Bless You, Estelle.
