  • deep voiced or deep throated?

  • B made me lmao in Maude!!

  • “the tall, deep throated”?? rude..

  • Bea was amazing. Love you, Bea!

  • she said tall ..DEEP THROATED actress????maybe deep voiced dingy.

  • @tb717 she did speak in a lower register. but after all that helped distinguish her from other actresses =), as well as her characters!

  • Bea at her best: defending animals. Watch her dancing her butt off for the PETA 'Laugh In' parody. It's really funny!

  • Why did she have to die?

  • Deep-throated?!?!

  • R.I.P. Bea. You were a gifted comedienne and the quintessential Vera Charles in "Mame". You have left this world with the gift of laughter.

  • Not many female actresses make me laugh, but Bea was an exception. There will never be another lady like her. RIP

  • just rember we will always love u bea arthur and the others R.I.P

  • That last photo soothes me.Ya done alot of good girl;alot of good.

  • I would give my youth to all the golden girls to live or at least 60 more years. I wish we found the fountain of youth for them

  • God, we'll give you Britney Spears, Lindsay, Paris, Heidi, Spencer, the cast of Jersey Shore, Real Housewives of the OC, New Jersey, Atlanta, New York, Rosie O'Donnell, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, Christina Aguilera, and all the other horrible sell out sexually promiscuous whores ruining society today if you give us back Bea, Rue and Estelle and allow Betty to live for another 3 decades.

  • @dsc385 Rosie O'Donnell is not a sexually promiscuous person by a long shot.

  • @dsc385 christina aguilera? she is cool tho :)

  • @ghostmanaaa thats rude

  • @redheadonfire2 You are so right, Red...That was an extremely rude, thoughtless, and just plain stupid comment! I am so sad that we have lost Bea, Estelle, and Rue, and I very much hope that Betty lives to at least 100! The world is without three very talented and most wonderful women! May they R.I.P., and may Betty continue to enjoy good health, great happiness, and a successful career for many years to come!
