late last night we lost another great one … award-winning actress rue mcclanahan (age 76) passed away at 1:05am after suffering a massive stroke – i knew she hadn’t been all that healthy over the past few months but it was still shockingly sad to read this morning another ‘golden girl’ had died (still sprite at age 88, betty white is the only girl left!) not only did i adore rue on the golden girls playing the super sassy ‘blanche devereaux’ – i also loved her on maude as ‘vivian cavender harmon’ – starring alongside bea arthur – they would eventually be reunited for one of the best TV shows ever! (oh and let’s not forget about ‘fran crowley’ on mama’s family) i know i speak for everyone – thank you rue – ‘for being a friend’ – you will be sorely missed! popbytes over & out for tonight – xoxo
PS at the request of rue’s family – an official facebook memorial page has been set up
