Bea Arthur dead at 86

1922-2009

Beatrice Arthur, Emmy-winning actress, comedian, and singer, has passed away at the age of 86 due to complications brought on by cancer. Arthur was best-known to generations of fans as Dorothy Sbornak on the long-running television series
The Golden Girls, and the title character on Maude. She will be missed, and my heart goes out to her family and friends.

"Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down the road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant.

And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say 'Thank you for being a friend'."

Song lyrics by Andrew Gold
