Another famed actor from the famed 80s TV sitcom Golden Girls has passed away. Beatrice Arthur died at the age of 86 of cancer. Beatrice Arthur was that 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 also won a Tony Award for the musical “Mame”.

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 details.

“She was a brilliant and witty woman,” said Watt, who was Arthur’s personal assistant for six years. “Bea will always have a special place in my heart.”

Arthur is survived by her sons and two granddaughters. No funeral services are planned.
