Sad. She was special, and so, so funny.

I knew she was about the same age as the others but didn't realize she was actually the youngest.

RIP.

May she rest in peace. She brought many hours of laughter into my home, playing Gracie Allen to Bea Arthur's version of George Burns.

Always a shame when a cultural icon passes away.

The Golden Girls was a revolutionary concept in sitcom television.

One of the first shows that had a dynamite script, writers, actors, and directors all in perfect sync.

Her character was lovable and practical.

She will be missed.

Interesting. I knew she wasn't as old as the character she portrayed but I guess I still thought she was older than the others.

She was funny. A great actress and lady. She'll be missed.

(and yeah, I was surprised to learn that she was actually the youngest.)

She made me laugh more times than I can count. Great lady, wonderful actress. She will be missed.

A perfect lady for a perfect part.

RIP and thanks for the laughs.

I didn't know until I was reading her obit that she started out with some stand-up. Would have loved to see that!

I loved The Golden Girls and I watch the reruns almost every day. That show always makes me laugh. Such good writing and good performances by all.

So sad about Estelle Getty. She did a great job on that show.

That show brought me through many sad times. I have all but two of the seasons on DVD. I'm watching it tonight.

Sad. That was a very funny show.

I always enjoyed watching the GG's and especially Estelle Getty. She was so funny. May she R.I.P.

So long, Estelle, and thanks for all the memories. Rest in peace.
