RIP Beatrice Arthur


One of my favourite ladies of stage and screen is gone.

I grew up with her as my favourite character on The Golden Girls, and I had the absolute privilege of seeing her perform live in 2003. Not forgetting her film-saving turn as Vera in the not-so-great screen version of Mame.

Thank you for being a friend.


I'm not clued up enough to figure out how to embed a youtube video here, but go to this link and see how wonderful she was.
