Bea Arthur, Star of ‘Maude,’ Dies

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Published: April 25, 2009

Filed at 3:55 p.m. ET

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Beatrice Arthur, the tall, deep-voiced actress whose razor-sharp delivery of comedy lines made her a TV star in the hit shows ''Maude'' and ''The Golden Girls'' and who won a Tony Award for the musical ''Mame,'' died Saturday. She was 86.

Arthur died peacefully at her Los Angeles home with her family at her side, family spokesman Dan Watt said. She had cancer, Watt said, declining to give further details.

That made me chuckle. I resisted the urge to say "Thank you for being a friend."

She really will be missed.

Be at peace, Dorothy Snborniak
