Bea Arthur has released a statement to Usmagzine.com after the
death of her Golden Girls co-star Estelle
Getty:
"Our mother-daughter relationship was one of the greatest comic
duos ever, and I will miss her," Arthur said.
Getty who played Arthur's sarcastic mother Sophia on the hit NBC
sitcom won an Emmy in 1988 for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a
Comedy Series.
Saddened by the news, Betty White (who played the nave Rose) told
Us, "The only comfort at this moment is that although
Estelle has
moved on, Sophia will always be with us."
Getty, who suffered from Lewy Body Dementia, a progressive brain
disease, died at about 5:35 a.m. Pacific Time Tuesday.
"
Estelle's legacy will live on and on through the comedy and
laughter she gave to us all, which will forever keep us laughing
out loud," her caregiver said in a message on her Web site.
