I just heard about that when I got home, so sad. She was my favorite Golden Girl. My Mom was born in the same year, 1922, and her friends and co-workers nicknamed her "Maude". She was exactly like her!

That's probably where I got my smart mouth.
I just bought Seasons 1&2 of The Golden Girls to watch, even though I have seen them so mny times, I can still watch them over and over. I think I'll go to Netflix and see if they have the episodes of All In The Family when her character Maude is introduced, and also see if they have the Maude series on DVD.
She was such a good actor!
