Rest In Peace

‘Golden Girls’ actress Estelle Getty dies at 84

I had a feeling she would be the first to go, having been in declining health for a while, but it is nonetheless a sad event. Rest in Peace, Estelle!

And now a collection of Sophia quotes to help ease our pain

Blanche: Oh girls… I’m just in ecstasy! My body is tingling all over! You will never guess what just happened!
Sophia: We know what happened! Let us just guess what part of the Middle East he’s from!

Blanche: We just rented that movie Aliens, it scared us half to death.
Sophia: I found it scary too. That Sigourney Weaver is a sweet girl but she really shouldn't go without makeup.

Blanche: I have writer's block. It's the worst feeling in the world.
Sophia: Try ten days without a bowel movement sometime.

Sophia: Why do blessings wear disguises? If I were a blessing, I'd run around naked.

Sophia: Make way for the victors.
Rose: You won the big game?
Sophia: No, Rose. We lost and we all changed our names to Victor.

Blanche: I am abhored.
Sophia: We know what you are, Blanche. I'm glad to finally hear you admit it.
Blanche: Sophia, I said abhored.
Sophia: Abhored, a slut, a tramp. It's all the same.
