Picture it: Sicily, 1920…

By Amy @amypop · On July 22, 2008

Sadly, Estelle Getty has passed. Even more sad, she had been battling Lewy Body Dementia for years. I remember in one of the <i>Golden Girls</i> reunion shows, the fellow ladies had said how Estelle barely recognized them anymore. I hope that she has found peace.

Here’s one of my favorite clips — Sophia and Dorothy as Sonny and Cher, and a very freaked out Rose:

Golden Girls may have gone off air in 1992 (my god, 16 years ago?), but the ladies have never been far from our hearts. And our collective minds — a few select quotes from Overheard in New York:

Frantic hipster: Please tell me you have The Golden Girls on DVD!
Employee: Nope, we are all sold out.
Frantic hipster: Dammit! It’s sold out everywhere! What am I going to do?

–Barnes & Noble, Chelsea

Girl: You know, the first time my boyfriend and I had sex, it was because of Golden Girls.
–Columbia University

Quasi-thug #1: So if I got the first season, you would watch it with me?
Quasi-thug #2: Fuck yeah. It’s the fucking Golden Girls, yo.

–Port Authority

Join me in the kitchen for some cheesecake around midnight, yo. We got plenty of forks and tissues for all.

I had to show Lennon my butt rash. I didn’t know what was going on and I needed a second opinion, and I certainly wasn’t going to get my husband involved. So in our little office, I had to show it to her. That’s real. - "Jessica St. Clair"
