Thank you for being a Friend!

Oh my, what a sad day. I never knew the actress, Bea Authur but I know her work and we share the same birthday, May 13th. Her body of work speaks for itself and the huge number of awards just puts the exclamation point at the end of the sentence that says she was one of the best.
I have seen much of her work but the sitcom Golden Girls is my favorite television sitcom. The writing was wonderful but the acting ensemble made that collaborative effort one of my all time favorites.
Bea Arthur characters were well played (Dorothy and Maude) and they were people you wouldn't mind being friends with in real life. She was a wonderful actress and I am glad her body of work remains here for us.
Bea Authur.... Thank you for being a friend.
