Bea Arthur: 1926-2009

Another Golden Gal bites the dust. The 86-year old stage and screen star died of cancer on Saturday.

The scene stealer played the wisecracking, sassy feminist roles so well that it’s sometimes hard to remember that an illustrious award-winning stage career preceded all the TV hijinx. Arthur was an old school star with a flair for delivering bitchy one-liners you couldn’t help but love.
