Beatrice Arthur, best known as the acerbic Maude Findlay on Norman Lear's sitcom "Maude" and as the strong-willed Dorothy Zbornak on the long-running "The Golden Girls," died Saturday. She was 86.
Arthur, a stage-trained actress who was a success on Broadway long before television audiences got to know her, died of cancer at her Los Angeles home.
I have fond childhood memories of watching the Golden Girls with my grandma. Later, I was introduced to Maude thanks to its TV Land revival. She was a funny, funny woman, and she will be missed.
