5. "TV Battle-Ax". Those are the roles she most often relished...

Maude
Dorothy
The Fembot in that hilarious episode of "Futurama"

Given the quantifying word "TV" is in the line, it makes sense, stands out, and does not demean her as a person. Especially as the article goes on to compliment her.

I dare say she might have liked the phrase.

Though if anything, I might have written it as "Endearing TV Battle-Ax" - to help set her apart form generic battle-ax figures. Bea Arthur was a class act to be sure. As was Carroll O'Connor...
