Sad news: Estelle Getty died today at age 84 after a long bout with dementia.
Do you know that she struggled through office-grunt jobs until she finally landed the part of Sophia on The Golden Girls at age 62? Now that’s dedication!
I’ve spent countless hours running lines from that show with gay men and discussing what an all-around consciousness-raiser it was for America in the 80s.
Rest in Peace. You’re fabulous.
