    Just noticed her passing while I was looking at SFGate (SF Chronicle)

    Watched Golden Girls during its heyday every Saturday Night ala KHON (then NBC at the time)...
    Was not much a Maude fan but then again I was a kid at the time during its airing.


    Gotta mention this memorable line that featured Bea Arthur ( she played Dole Office Clerk & Comicus was Mel Brooks )in the 1981 movie "History of The World Part 1"

    Dole Office Clerk: Occupation?
    Comicus: Stand-up philosopher.
    Dole Office Clerk: What?
    Comicus: Stand-up philosopher. I coalesce the vapors of human experience into a viable and meaningful comprehension.
    Dole Office Clerk: Oh, a *bullshit* artist!
    Comicus: *Grumble*...
    Dole Office Clerk: Did you bullshit last week?
    Comicus: No.
    Dole Office Clerk: Did you *try* to bullshit last week?
    Comicus: Yes!




    when I was lookin up Bea on Youtube I found this on the site

      Oh, RIP dear Bea, I truly loved her as Maude. I met her and had a wonderful time chatting and kibbitzing at an Actors and Others for Animals benefit in
      1974, she was such fun to talk with and share some laughs. Rest her soul
      we'll miss you Bea, thanks for your full career and life

          Was her character the leader of the group because of her height on The Golden Girls?

            Her height, deep voice, and self-confident demeanor made her the natural leader of the Golden Girls household, just as it did in Maude.

            But ehhh..... maybe it was just the height.

            RIP Bea. We miss you already!
