Thank You for Being a Friend

Rue McClanahan (1934 - 2010)

It is with an especially sad heart that I announce the passing of Rue McClanahan, a woman who influenced me beyond my wildest imaginations. Her character, Blanche, in television's The Golden Girls remains one of my favorites, and her performance (along with those of the other girls) was one of the first I ever saw that made me recognize truly great television acting. I watch The Golden Girls more than any other show and have practically memorized every episode. I feel like that show has given me four extra grandmothers that have touched me profoundly through their work and their delightful humor. God bless you, Rue, and thank you for being my friend.
