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,” has died. She was 84.
Getty, who suffered from advanced dementia, died at about 5:30 a.m. Tuesday at her Hollywood Boulevard home, said her son, Carl Gettleman of Santa Monica.
“She was loved throughout the world in six continents, and if they loved sitcoms in Antarctica she would have been loved on seven continents,” her son said. “She was one of the most talented comedic actresses who ever lived.”
“The Golden Girls,” featuring four female retirees sharing a house in Miami, grew out of NBC programming chief Brandon Tartikoff’s belief that television was ignoring its older viewers.
Three of its stars had already appeared in previous series: Bea Arthur in “Maude,” Betty White in “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and Rue McClanahan in “Mama’s Family.” The last character to be cast was Sophia Petrillo, the feisty 80-something mother of Arthur’s character.
“Our mother-daughter relationship was one of the greatest comic duos ever, and I will miss her,” Arthur said in a statement.
When she auditioned, Getty was appearing on stage in Hollywood as the carping Jewish mother in Harvey Fierstein’s play “Torch Song Trilogy.” In her early 60s, she flunked her “Golden Girls” test twice because it was believed she didn’t look old enough to play 80.
“I could understand that,” she told an interviewer a year after the show debuted. “I walk fast, I move fast, I talk fast.”

of her sister Beyonce's. She has great production, a stylistic approach (instead of 13 singles packaged as an album) and actually has a better voice than I give her credit for. Plus, "I Decided" is a GREAT son. Her cd "Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams" drops Aug. 26.Labels: Entertainment, Good Female Singers, Music, Pop Culture

the college basketball season. Many fans around these partswere extremely frustrated with UNC's first half in the Final Four. But even those diehards can't deny the perfect ending of the National championship game between Memphis and Kansas. Mario Chalmers' shot will go down in NCAA tournament lore with names like Bryce Drew, Keith Smart and Michael Jordan.Labels: Sports, Summer 2008
