I'm sad to report that the beloved Estelle Getty, Sophia Petrillo of Golden Girls, has passed away, just shy of her 85th birthday. Sophia and Dorothy (Bea Arthur) were always my favorite characters in that show. They both reminded me of my own relatives -- maybe because Italian-Americans and American Jews have a lot in common.
So, there goes our collective hope for a Golden Girls reunion, tentatively titled, Golden Girls Again: This Time With Extra Gold.

NOOOO I am so sad. My friend and I love to veg out on the couch and watch GG reruns on tv in college..sniff sniff
Aww that is sad I grew up on that show.
My girlfriends and I STILL love that show and swear we're going to eventually be the real life Golden Girls. I'm sad she's gone.

That's sad. I used to love watching the Golden Girls with my mum and babushka. I am going to do the Flickr Fun today for my post, thanks for the idea.
Oh no!
