airdvr 200 #1 April 26, 2009 LOS ANGELES — Beatrice Arthur, the tall, deep-voiced actress whose razor-sharp delivery of comedy lines made her a TV star in the hit shows "Maude" and "The Golden Girls" and who won a Tony Award for the musical "Mame," died Saturday. She was 86. I remember when her "Maude" character was considered cutting edge feminism.Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She'll always be Maude to me, and right up there with Lucille Ball as one of the great comic actresses ever.

LisaH 0 #4 April 26, 2009 I remember her role on All In The Family before the Maude spinoff and always thought, 'wow, she's tough.' Still enjoy watching The Golden Girls re-runs. Rest in peace Ms. Arthur. Be yourself! MooOOooOoo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warpedskydiver 0 #5 April 26, 2009 What is amazing is how much more she did other than Maude and GG. That woman really worked her ass off. She was also as funny as Lucille or Carol. They probably would say the same. I wonder what they three are doing in the afterlife? Ball Busting? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muenkel 0 #7 April 29, 2009 If he is referring to Carol Burnett, yes, she's still alive. I agree with everyone. Bea Arthur was a brilliant comedic actress and definitely on par with Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett. Didn't Estelle Getty (Sophia) also pass away in the past year? Thanks for all the laughs Bea! Thank God for re-runs. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
