RIP Rue McClanahan
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20390844,00.html

Golden Girl Rue McClanahan, 76, has died.

"She passed away at 1 a.m. this morning," her manager, Barbara Lawrence, tells PEOPLE. She had a massive stroke."

McClanahan, who played Blanche Deveraux on the still-popular '80s sitcom Golden Girls, had suffered a minor stroke earlier this year while recovering from bypass surgery. Lawrence added that at the time of her death Thursday, McClanahan “had her family with her. She went in peace.”

5. Hard to believe that 3 of 4 Golden Girls have passed
here is a great Blanche episode

I can really relate, being an older woman returning to school after so many years.....The struggle to pass the courses, not the harassment part, that is...

Blanche: One day her butt will turn to mush, but I will always have my degree.....

Love her!
