Rue McClanahan and Betty White pay tribute to the late, great Bea Arthur.

Golden Girls Gone Wild! Show me them tittays Bea!
Why does shit like Jade Goody and Idol get plastered everywhere, and a true talent like Bea, barely go noticed.
Thank you for being a friend, Bea! R.I.P..
Gayyy! I mean…
It's a well known fact that Bea Arthur hated cheesecake in real life.
Bea..you will be missed.
Those girls have lost a true friend.
So sad, may she rest in peace
So sad she will be missed!
This is so sad.
Perez, you're just another wannabe publicity hound. Your ilk has plagued Hollywood for years and years. You have no real talent in the business. But you manage to make yourself somewhat famous in a very tedious way.

I loved Golden girls….I have no idea why. It was just refreshing in a moth-ball like way. The oldest one is the one whom made me want to visit Sicily…
"Thank YOU for being a friend". xo RIP
I will miss you Bea, we love you!
…and then there's Maude!
RIP Bea

You know the other two are looking at each other and thinking, "one of us is going next!" =p but really, we have lost a great talent! and im glad she was apart of all our lives.
aw;
i watched golden girls today & my eyes waterd. that show is still the funniest ever! and bea will most def be missed.
~It's still so sad that she passed away. It's hard to believe that she's gone. She will be truly missed.~
purple headed. You're what is trash in this earth. I know you were joking, and this is just a forum, but you just have to be trash in every single place you grace your presence? huh?
Pass that cheesecake Perez. I need some comfort food after watching that clip.
Bea, Thank you fo being a friend! I've enjoyed you for many years.
RIP!
She hated cheesecake, you know…
Re: reverendramona –
This is a completely fair comment. It proves that Perez only cares about the character and not the person. Bea Arthur died, not Dorothy on some television show…
Thanks for posting this PH.
I luv luv luv this lady and am heartbroken..what an amazing woman. Her passing is tragic and so sad, but l hope now she is in peace. Thank you so much Bea, and the rest of the GG's for giving me sooo much laughter..l watch you all every day, although at moment l find it too hard. RIP beautiful lady. You will be missed but never forgotten xxx
Re: BigB0882 – lol, seriously…how many of us 'knew' Bea?? We all knew of her as either Maude or Dorothy *roll eyes*..Bea was a very private person, so how can anyone comment on the woman she was..we can't and l find your comment ignorant and silly. She was in my life as Dorothy…and to comment on her personally would be BS…chill out lol..having a cheesecake for you too Dorothy!! xx
When i think of all the times she has lifted my spirits, and can't begin to imagine the impact she has made on people all over the world. She was definitely unique, but those kinds of people are always the most memorable, and are truly missed when they depart from this earth. You will be missed. She is surrounded by angels now.
R.I.P.
Awwww. I am really sad too that she is gone. I also loved Golden Girls…it was funny and total comfort in a critical time in my life. Loved watching the reruns! Yes..
Bea, so glad you are not in pain anymore, but you are so missed!
it's odd. but i really will miss her.
So sad. =(
Love you Bea!
The Golden Girls was such a wonderful show, they just don't make them like that anymore. Bea Arthur was one of a kind and a class act and she'll be missed dearly.
Very sad, may she rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers go out to her friends and family.
Re: mattvoyager – Yeah, I totalllllyy agree!
I loved her and she will be greatly missed.
The world has lost a true talent….
This is sooo sad… B was a great actress, loved her on Golden Girls…Whenever I eat cheesecake I think of the Golden Girls, thankyou for being a friend…..
I love her and The Golden Girls…They were much funnier AND smarter than those bimbos on Sex & The City.
perez when you wrote "IN MEMORIAM" followed by MSNBC's video,
of course i thought the DEAD LAST LOSER COMPANY HAD FINALLY GONE UNDER!!!
unless rachel maddow manages to save it with her MAGICAL PE NIS!!!!
I agree with ReverendRamona… Bea did hate cheesecake. So I guess its a good thing its invisible.
That was a lovely segment, but did they have to use the very latest photo of Bea to end it? They could have used a nicer photo. She was a great lady and talent! She will be missed!
She made me smile when no one else could sometimes. I cant express how i feel other than to say she made me smile and cry all at once.
Re: mattvoyager –
couldn't have said it better…
Loved you Bea…from Maude to Dorothy, you were the best…a classic…and you will be miss by many…Thank God we will always have the Golden Girls in reruns…thanks for running this clip Perez…for a very special lady…
A quiet lady who had her own way of doing things. Good that she isn't suffering any more.
If you were truly a fan of Bea, you'd know she hated cheesecake.
I speak for everyone when I say we will miss him

Bea Arthur seemed like a really cool lady. When I've seen her at the celebrity roasts, she always could laugh at herself. Very talented actress too.
R.I.P.
I love Bea. So sad.
I think she is a very talented artist!

Loved the Golden Girls. Hard to believe we've lost both Sofia & Dorothy in less than a year:( So sad
The world lost a real talent. May you Rest In Peace!
Aww RIP, i loved dorothy on the Golden Girls
I don't agree with most of the things Perez says and does, bit he is right on with this one. Such blatant form of racism
Posted comment on wrong story. Apologies!!! RIP Bea.
