It's a sad day. The Goldenest of Golden Girls has passed away. We miss you already Sophia Petrillo. Entire childhood summers spent watching her (and Designing Women if I could manage to get up before noon) made me the woman I am today.

"Oh boy, we're going to a sperm bank. I wonder if they have a drive-up window!"

On behalf of borderline-bitches everywhere I salute her sneers, scorns, sauciness, sass, and general saltbag attitude. She singlehandedly instilled faith that our geriatric periods need not be void of fun.

Dorothy:"Ma, did you sleep with that man?" Sophia:"A little."

Obvious awesomeness aside, she was in Stop! or My Mom Will Shoot. She was on an episode of Blossom. She was in Mannequin. And an episode of Duckman. She will be missed.

"Jealousy is a very ugly thing, Dorothy! - And so are you, in anything backless."

Godspeed and rest in peace, Estelle Getty. Thank you for being a friend.
