Getty has dementia


Estelle Getty, the actress who played the lovable and witty Sophia on "The Golden Girls," is suffering from dementia but is not on her deathbed.

Despite recent tabloid rumors that she is dying, Getty's former castmates set the record straight, saying she is "not near death...not near death at all." Betty White, Bea Arthur, and Rue McClanahan reunited in Beverly Hills for the DVD release of the popular show and were quick to express how much they missed Getty at the event.

--How sad. I'll admit it: I loved that show. I still catch some of the reruns on TV. I also liked her character in the movie Mannequin.

1 "The Golden Girls" was a great show. It was one of the few shows we could get on our three TV stations growing up! Glad to hear the DVD series is coming out...now maybe I won't be the only guy who has seen it (on second thought, how many guys are going to buy it?). Oh, and what would the world be like without Estelle Getty? She is the cutest little old "grandma" in Hollywood!

2 Yay for finding more Golden Girls fans. I love that show and people usually make fun of me when they find out. Very sad to hear about Estelle Getty though.
