Rue McClanahan dies

ANYONE REMEMBER THE GOLDEN GIRLS,?

Rue McClanahan, who was best known for her role in 'The Golden Girls', has died at the age of 76.
The actress played man-eater Blanche Deveraux in the hugely popular US sitcom for seven years between 1985 and 1992.
Before finding worldwide fame in the series, McClanahan had acted on Broadway and later co-starred with future 'Golden Girl' Bea Arthur in the US series 'Maude'.
Her manager told People magazine that she passed away earlier today with her family by her side following a massive stroke.
Her death comes just over a year after that of her former co-star Bea Arthur, who played Dorothy in the series. Estelle Getty, who played Dorothy's mother Sophia, died in 2008.
Rue McClanahan's death leaves 88-year-old Betty White the only surviving star of the series.

I LOVED THAT SHOW,,,,,,,

Never heard of her and never heard of the show.

But did anyone read the Obit in last weeks Times about the guy (OK, he was a dingle) who was a Clayton Harrier, champion fell runner and named after Accy Stanley? Seems far more relevant than some obscure American actress who no respectable person has ever heard of.

god i remember the words to the theme tune of that programme

Thankyou for being a friend,
travel down the road and back again,
your heart is true your a pal and a confidant,
and if you threw a party,
and invited everyone you knew,
you would see,
the biggest gift would be from me,
and the card attached would say.......
thankyou for being a friend


or something like that

loved the programme when i was a kid
