“…cause right now, today, that’s all we’ve got: hope.”
-Sophia Petrillo
A world of fans are in mourning as of yesterday. Our beloved Estelle Getty, aka Sophia Petrillo, of the proclaimed Golden Girls series passed away at the age of 84, just shy of her 85th birthday on Friday.
As a huge Golden Girls fan, I was saddened to hear the news via PerezHilton.com. She embraced her character Sophia, adding a brilliance and comedy that I doubt any other actress could portray.
In honor of Ms. Getty’s life and career as Golden Girl Sophia Petrillo, I am dedicating this post to her.
You will always live on is every Golden Girl and aspiring Golden Girl’s heart.
UPDATE: The Lifetime Network will be hosting a five-hour marathon of the Golden Girls on Friday, July 25 from 12pm to 5pm.
