Bea Arthur (1922-2009)

Beatrice Arthur died of cancer this morning, less than a month away from her 87th birthday. She was always my favorite Golden Girl. We'll miss you, Mrs. Arthur. If there's patriarchs in heaven, I bet you're givin' 'em hell.

RATING: 95% (I know everyone's got to make a living, but those Shopper's Drug Mart ads were awful.)

She's really dead? How sad. I'll have to call my sister. She and her husband are addicted to the Golden Girls. Seriously

Plus I love that condom episode.It was great!

She really was the funniest. I love that show. If I lived in Dallas, I'd recommend a Golden Girls marathon weekend in her honor.

Dick, my late husband, and I liked Bea Arthur for her performance as Maude. The character Maude played a role in our sexual fantasies for years (hope that I'm not coming across as insensitive for mentioning this). Dick got really aroused whenever I got dressed in stirrup pants and played Maude. He would go sexually berserk when I said that magic catchphrase: "God'll getcha for that, Walter."

Bea Arthur was definitely a man's woman.

What kind of a name is Bea?

She would have made a great judge on RuPaul's Drag Race (speaking of marathon shows).

RIP.

Yeah you're right, only a skank would have "Beatrice" in her name, especially as her middle name.
