The media is reporting that Golden Girls actress, Estelle Getty, has passed away after suffering from severe dementia for a prolonged period. Ms. Getty worked for decades in obscurity while raising a family until her break in 1985 with the smash television series, Golden Girls.

I will always remember Ms. Getty as her Golden Girls character, Sophia. I had the privilege of seeing her in a New York production of the play, Torch Song Trilogy, with writer and co-star, Harvey Fierstein.
