Estelle Getty .. You Always Be Remembered..

Estelle Getty, whose acting career bloomed late in life with her Emmy-winning performance as Sophia Petrillo, the wisecracking mother of Bea Arthur's character on the popular NBC sitcom "The Golden Girls," died Tuesday. She was 84.

Estelle Getty, the diminutive actress who spent 40 years struggling for success before landing a role of a lifetime in 1985 as the sarcastic octogenarian Sophia on TV's "The Golden Girls," had died of advanced dementia, about 5.30 am Tuesday at her Hollywood Boulevard home, said her son, Carl Gettleman of Santa Monica.She was 84.Getty.

Getty also played Sylvester Stallone's mother in the 1992 film flop "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot," Cher's mother in the 1985 movie "Mask" and Barry Manilow's mother in the 1985 TV movie "Copacabana."

On my own personal note, nothing can take her place as the most humurous, wisecracking old mum and just like her favourite phrase of all time, her existence as one of the cast in The Golden Girls, make this world "a world filled with "Love and Laughter"...

May She Rest In Peace...
