Beloved as feisty Sophia Petrillo on "The Golden Girls" and, in later years, as a champion of rocking senior citizen workouts, Estelle Getty died today at the age of 84. She will be missed, and I'm at a bit of a loss. But I feel like this "Golden Girls" tattoo to the left says it all.
Estelle Getty, thank you for being a friend
The Golden Girl died this morning at the age of 84.
