Bea Arthur dies
Edited on Sat Apr-25-09 04:51 PM by tbyg52
The death of popular actress Bea Arthur, who starred in the US television sitcom The Golden Girls, has been reported in Los Angeles.

Arthur, who played Dorothy Zbornak to the late Estelle Getty's Sophia Petrillo, died at home of cancer at the age of 86, a family spokesman said.

She was also famous for the sitcom Maude, first creating the character in the comedy series All In The Family.

Arthur also won an Emmy Award for the musical Mame.

The tall, deep-voiced actress's razor-sharp delivery of comedy lines made her a TV star, the Associated Press news agency notes.

She won Emmy Awards for both The Golden Girls and Maude.

Edited because I love her but apparently cannot spell her name.
