Best Bea Arthur Tribute Ever! I'm gonna miss you xxx ooo

Beloved television and theater star Bea Arthur passed away Saturday at her home in Los Angeles after a battle with cancer.

The 86-year-old was born Beatrice Frankel to a Jewish family in New York City and became a household name on such TV shows as "Golden Girls" and "Maude".

Arthur began her career in the theater, where she won a Tony Award for the musical "Mame" and played "Yente the Matchmaker" in the Broadway premiere of Fiddler on the Roof.

Arthur was perhaps most well known for her role as Dorothy Zbornak on the hit series Golden Girls. The show, which centered on the lives of four retired women living together in a house in Miami, Florida, was a hit for six seasons and won 10 Emmys, including one for Arthur in 1988.

After Golden Girls ended its run, Arthur appeared in guest spots on TV, including a part as Larry David's mother on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Arthur was inducted into the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame in 2008.

@Ariane67 Thank you so much. Your words mean a lot to me. It's not my work, but the work of the Lord through me that made this. All the credit goes to God, not me :-)

This is one of my favorite tributes. I cried at the end.. seeing all them together holding the DVD sets and hearing "Dorothy, is this goodbye?" - I lost it and started crying.

Funny thing is, I am a male and this show had lots of memories for me with my mother as we watched it together. As a young kid at age 6, I didn't understand it. Now I do. We all relate in some way to any of these characters.

This may seem weird but I have to watch the Golden Girls every night to unwind and relax so I can fall asleep.
