I loved her in Golden Girls. I watch it as often as I can.

RIP RUE

And then there was one.
Rue McClanahan passed away last night. A stroke got her. Bummer.
I liked her best as Aunt Fran!!! lol, but she was good as Blanche Devereaux too.

In her 2007 book "My First Five Husbands... and The One That Got Away," McClanahan wrote, "People always ask me if I'm like Blanche. And I say, 'Well, Blanche was an oversexed, self-involved, man-crazy, vain Southern Belle from Atlanta -- and I'm not from Atlanta.'"

RIP, Rue. :(

I watched every episode of "Golden Girls" while I was in law school. They kept me sane.

It must be really tough being Betty White..... outliving the husband she loved so much and now the last of her buddies. Still she's just a whirlwind with a new sitcom coming up in a couple of weeks. Amazing. What an inspiration.

Blanche Devereaux was the original Samantha Jones.

I will miss Rue McClanahan. She brought me much laughter.
