Another great talent gone.
There is one less light shining in Hollywood now.
Bea Arthur was a wonderful actress with a gift for humor.
May we all be enlightened by her sense of humor and ability to act.
Rest in peace, Bea Arthur!
blessed be
I used to watch Golden Girls when I was little with my Great-Grandma (Nana). I will always cherish those days with her. Thank you Golden Girls for that time with my Nana.
RIP Dorothy.
