Bea Arthur died today. If you grew up in the 80's, you probably watched your fair share of Golden Girls, both the original broadcast and the constant reruns. If you have cable, chances are you could watch it right now! What a strange, raunchy, and mostly funny show. With incredible confidence and comic timing, Bea was one talented lady, and became a bit of a cult figure in her later years. Fun fact: she also appeared in the Star Wars Holiday Special, which I would have known if I had been able to get through more than 10 minutes of that particular slice of pop culture. Check out these art pieces, and rock a flowing caftan for Dorothy Zbornak tonight.

Goodbye, Bea! *sniff* Did you ever see the episode of Maude where Maude has the abortion? First ever abortion on prime-time TV and extremely awesome, despite the slightly disconcerting fact that Bea Arthur must've been, like, 50 at the time.
