« JEFF GOLDBLUM HAS A NEW BADGE AND A NEW GIRLFRIEND | Main | SCOTT SPEEDMAN STOCKS UP ON HEALTHY FOOD » 
Gay friendly Estelle Getty of "The Golden Girls" died today after a long battle with Alzheimer's. We used to live in the same building and tiny Estelle seemed waist-high in the elevator. She was always friendly and in the company of sociable gay men. Keep in mind that Estelle not only starred on one of the biggest hit shows of the 80's, but this show undoubtedly inspired Candace Bushnell, the creator of "Sex & the City," whether she admits it or not. We can already imagine Sarah Jessica Parker and the girls getting back together in twenty years for "Golden Girls in the City."

Oh that is sad news. I loved that show.
I have always dreaded the day the Golden Girls start dieing off. Next thing you know other icons of my young adult life will begin to kick the button. Cher. Madonna. Cyndi Lauper. Linda Carter.
Don't mean to be so glum. It's time for me and the roommates to have some cheesecake in Estel's honor.
Goodbye sweet lady you brought a generation much enjoyment...Rest in peace, we will miss you.
She was fantastic.
Actually, Estelle had Lewy Body dementia. It's different from Alzheimers.
Goodnight Sophia :-(
