Rue McClanahan has passed.

Many people don;t know this, but she was a true animal lover as well, and I am sure was met by quite a crew when she reached the Rainbow Bridge, and a had a joyful reunion.

This is such disheartening news May Rue, RIP. She never ceased to make me laugh while watching the Golden Girls.

Another sad loss of another Golden Girl. Every time we lose one of these ladies I feel like we've lost a family member. I know they're all having a grand reunion at the bridge now.

Rest In Peace Rue

Betty, you are the only one left. Stay with us for a long long time!!

Another great loss for the entertainment world. I still watch Golden Girls on reruns and laugh as much now as I did the first time. Nobody else could have done the role of Blanche, it's as if the part was written just for Rue McClanahan. Rue was outstanding in the part.

RIP, Rue. Because you gave us the wonderful gift of the Golden Girls you will always be remembered fondly.
