I only knew her as Dorothy on the Golden Girls - always threatening to send Sophia/"Ma" back to Shady Pines...
How sad. I liked her as an actress a lot. Rest in peace.
So sad. Her delivery of lines were the tops. I have enjoyed her parts for years. RIP. What an interesting life.

another class act gone.
I didn't realize until reading the article that she originally was Edith's cousin in "all in the Family' .

RIP, Bea. And thank you for the laughs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyhlnL0AbmI&feature=related
Unfortunately, the clip cuts off before the scene ends, but this still cracks me up.
Bea was so wonderful all-around.

My favorite memory of her is a cameo in Mel Brooks' "History of the World: Part I". She is working the window at the unemployment line in ancient Rome. The two main characters are standing in line forever, and just when they get to the front she puts down her 'closed' shade. They holler and pound on the wall. She lifts the shade just long enough to snarl: "I'm on my wine break".

Bea was a fabulous actress with a priceless sense of timing. And the way she could use her eyebrows! Godspeed, Ms Arthur.

Didn't realize she was in that movie. (she's about a minute or so into the clip)

86 is a good run, and she did so much with her time here. I was fortunate enough to catch the beginning of her second career when she first appeared on All In The Family back in the seventies. I've loved her ever since. She could bring a level of dignity to the most ridiculous things:
One more round in the Star Wars cantina
So long, Bea.

Recently converted Golden Girls fan... That show made me want to take a road trip down to FL. RIP Bea.

I love The Golden Girls still and watch them all the time, much to my husband's dismay. Such a shame, even though they were old in the eighties you still are surprised. Two left.
