I definitely love Bea in the Golden Girls. My young nieces (in their 20s) love to watch her show. As of today, still a favorite. Bea, you are a great woman and definitely will be missed.

The unforgettable Bea Arthur! She attracted so many viewers with sophisticated, classy and uncanny humour! She will be greatly missed by her audience!Bravo Bea for having made us laugh!!

I love to watch the Golden Girls and have for years. It's a delightful comedy that makes you laugh even when you don't feel like laughing. No matter what one's worries are, they fade away for a while. Her death saddens me, and she will surely be missed forever. Rest in peace, my friend.

Bea, "Dorothy", was a wonderful actress. She was very talented and I loved how she could make me laugh. I only hope that I can be as strong willed and outspoken as she was someday. You will be missed....... you were a "GOLDEN GIRL" who now is living in her "GOLDEN PALACE" with our LORD.

Bea (Dorothy) will be greatly missed. I loved her most in the "Golden Girls" series and still enjoy her in the reruns. She was a wonderful and funny lady. Condolences to her family.

I grew up watching Ms. Arthur during the Maude days and a few guest appearances on different shows. I raised my daughter watching The Golden Girls. Our mother, who passed from this life into eternity in Febraury, 2006, called her 4 girls the Goldem Girls. The oldest was Sophia;s character, the next, Ms Blanche Devouroux, then Betty White...kinda knuckled headed,lol. and I was Dorothy..strong and vibrant. I consider that a privilge to be compared to ms. Arthur, and will miss her dearly..

Rest in peace, Dorothy. Bea, you were great as Maude, but found yourself in Dorothy. My friends call ourselves the Golden Girls. I am supposed to be Blanche and a bit of Dorothy combined. What an honor!!

To our wonderful "Golden Girl" your wit, charm & wicked sense of humor will be greatly missed by all. Rest in Peace Bea, and "Thank you for being a Friend"

I always enjoyed Bea, both as Maude and later as Dorothy in Golden Girls. When she playedMaude she was(for the time)at the top of her game, what a perfect charcter for her, I don't thibnk anyone else would have been able to make Maude what Bea did. Now our Golden Girl has gone to her rest after a long and absolutely glorius life. To our dear friend and lifetime companion the incomparable Bea Arthur: "Thank you for being a friend!"

Your humor and wit have brightened my life many, many times. In fact, I have attempted to emulate you - you will be sorely missed, dear Bea.

Posted by: Maria Jones April 28, 2009

I've watched Bea on the Golden Girls since the 80's when I was just a young boy. She has been a part of my life every since. Its seems that no matter what I've gone through in life the Gilrs were a constant, always making life better. I will love her forever!!

I grew up watching 'Maude.' I think it made a strong impression of me in comparison to shows like 'The Brady Bunch' and 'Leave it to Beaver' where the mother figure was sweet, docile & all about the needs of the family--all wonderful qualities but for the first time, I saw that women could have a different role in society and within the family. Bea always seemed to portray saucy, sassy women with something to say. She offered an alternative archetype of woman/mother on television. May she rest in peace.
