LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Estelle Getty, the diminutive actress who spent 40 years struggling for success before landing a role of a lifetime in 1985 as the sarcastic octogenarian Sophia on TV's "The Golden Girls," has died. She was 84.

Getty, who suffered from advanced dementia, died at about 5:30 a.m. Tuesday at her Hollywood Boulevard home, said her son, Carl Gettleman of Santa Monica.

"She was loved throughout the world in six continents, and if they loved sitcoms in Antarctica she would have been loved on seven continents," her son said. "She was one of the most talented comedic actresses who ever lived."

Her character whas such a ... well -- character on that show! Wow, that is sad to hear!

I guess my dreams of marrying Estelle Getty will never come true.

awwww...this is so sad...she was my favorite golden girl

I use to enjoy that show. She was my favorite and will be missed. Prayers for her friends, family and loved ones. I hope they are comforted during their time of sorrow.

Aww that is so sad. I loved watching her on the show. Always so funny.

OMG, auditbyus, I just posted a similar blog. Please forgive the repetition!

This was one of my favorite shows (I've seen every episode). I still watch the re-runs on lifetime. She was too funny on that show.

Goodvibrations, did you have, you know, uh, thoughts about her too? You know, "those" kinds of thoughts?

awwww,,sad

They had a tribute to the Golden Girls on Nick @ Nite recently- had the other three there. They mentioned how their thoughts went out to Estelle, had no idea she was in such bad shape at the time. The world is a little less funny without her.
