Estelle Getty died today at the age of 84. I loved her. I love the Golden Girls. I always kind of thought of them as the Sex and the City: Seniors gone wild in Florida edition.
Before there was Sex and the City, my friends and I would compare ourselves to this dynamic foursome – we also did it with Designing Women as well. (I was always Dorothy, which both insulted and complimented me I think.)
It is a sad day indeed. I still catch the reruns of the show and can't help but laugh out loud. And I always marvel at how edgy some of the topics really were, especially for a group of older women.
I'm about to hit search on my DVR to find an episode to watch tonight in honor of Sophia.
