'Golden Girl' Rue McClanahan Dies at 76 - Oklahoma City News Story - KOCO Oklahoma City

The 3rd one gone.... Betty White is the last one standing.

This is totally a shock.

pretty sad, but now with just betty white left, will NBC start a new spin-off series entitled: Golden Girl?

[bandnerd]

Not so much a shock--she suffered a stroke earlier this year. She wasn't all that young. Still sad, though. My mom knew her when my mom was a kid and Rue was a teenager. Not close, but they grew up in nearby towns and knew each other.

Betty White may still be here when we're all gone

Oh that`s so sad. The Golden Girls are epic.

Betty White may still be here when we're all gone

Betty probably will make a run for 100 with her staying so active still.

I noticed that 3 of the girls died in a 2 year span:

Estelle-2008
Beatrice-2009
Rue-2010

I hope Betty does not die in 2011

It is ironic that Rue passed away from a stroke because in the eposide "Home Again, Rose", Rue said "What if Rose had a stroke?"

[Thunder]

MF, I was just thinking that. I am sure that Betty White is way more healthy than the other ladies.

Here is another article with interesting stories.

Betty White may still be here when we're all gone

no she wont, but rest assured that Keith Richards will.

I hope we arent expecting them to repopulate the world...

for those that didn't know, she was born in Oklahoma

[fuzzytoad]

for those that didn't know, she was born in Oklahoma

yeah, said that in the KOCO article linked in the first post..

It didn't say she graduated from Ardmore High School though

[Thunder]

I wonder if she was aware of the Devon Tower and multiple ongoing projects?

I wonder if she was aware of the Devon Tower and multiple ongoing projects?

Is this a joke?

[Thunder]

Is this a joke?

It is not. She is from this state, are you aware of that?

[Matt]

I don't think she knew about all those upcoming projects, because if she did, surely she would have willed herself to live long enough to see them to their completion.
