She passed away this AM. I LOVED her in The Golden girls. What a sad day.

I was hoping this was a joke.

She's a legend.

Oh man! I love her! I was reading about this and did y'all know that she was one year younger than both Betty White and Bea Arthur?

Interesting.

Yes, she was heavily made up for Golden Girls. When you'd see her in an interview or soemthing, she looked much younger.

I just saw this

Bea was born 1922 and is 86
Betty was born 1922 and is 86
Estelle WASborn 1923 and was 84
Rue was born 1934 and is 74

Damn this saddens me, I love them all and hate to see them older than I thought.

She was my favorite character on the show, and a good actress.
