Goodbye Sophia (LINK)
July 23rd 2008 01:59
Estelle Getty, who played the fiesty Sophia Ptreillo in the Golden Girls, has died.
Gay bars the world over would switch their video screens to the show whenever it aired, lest their patrons stay home that night.
The perfect picture of how to grow old disgracefully, as I surely hope to do.
My favourite image of Sophia will always be when her daughter Dorothy, played by Bea Arthur, burst into her mothers bedroom to find her in bed with a man.
"Ma, what is this?" cried Dorothy.
"Afterglow," said Sophia.
I'll drink to that!
