Bea Arthur died this morning. I’m so sad. Bea Arthur played Dorothy Zbornak on The Golden Girls, of course, and she was my favorite Girl. I posted a list of favorite Sophia moments when Estelle Getty died last year, and I’m going to do the same now for Bea Arthur (and at least one non-Girl moment that is hilarious).
Also, last year, someone put together a top ten list of favorite Bea Arthur moments in honor of her birthday. Funny stuff. Here are some more clips.

I too was saddened to hear of Bea Arthur’s passing. I had the opportunity to see her one woman show on Broadway a few years ago and of course, she was fantastic. I loved her Maude character – it was groundbreaking. She was so talented. And of course, she was a wonderful Dorothy Zbornak.

Actually, Lil, Miriam said, “Now I’ll never see her in concert!” And I said that you did. About that…

I am so upset about Bea Arthur’s passing. There have been tears falling down my face. My favorite Golden Girl is gone. Rest in peace, Bea.

Thank you for posting those clips. Hormona has not aged a bit and Mrs. Garrett looks way better than she ever did when she took care of Tootie and the girls. Who knew that Abe Vigoda was still around. Bea was one funny lady.

Abe Vigoda was on Conan all the time, even though Rachel thought he died a long time ago. Have you ever seen the Clueless sketch with the other Golden Girls? That one is also fantastic.

Yuck, me either. Sorry not (t)rue (fantastic name!), I guess it was just every other old person who you thought was already dead.
