This is not a way I wanted to start my day.
Actress Rue McClanahan, best known in her role as Blanche Devereaux in the television series Golden Girls, passed away today at the age of 76.
Golden Girls was part of my childhood, and I still watch the show whenever I can (one day, I will own all six seasons on DVD). Blanche was perhaps my favorite character, though they were all my favorites in one way or another. There has never been another show like it, and I don't know that there ever can be again.
RIP, Rue. You've earned it, and I sincerely hope you are cutting it up with Estelle Getty and Bea Arthur right now.
