Blanche Devereaux Gone But Not Forgotten

Another of our "golden girls" is gone to heaven.  Rhue McClannhan went to her heavenly reward last week.  Not having internet access right now makes posting difficult.
I remember seeing her in the 70s on Maude with Bea Arthur; she portrayed her best friend.  Later in the late 80s, The Golden Girls introduced the world to her irreverant, yet fun "woman of the world" Blanche Devereaux.  Her behaviour proved that women over 50 can be active in many ways...wink wink!
Later, she portrayed a hilarious Reverend Mother Regina in Nunsense and Nunsense II: The Second Coming.  She could sing, dance and speak with a great Irish brogue.  And her portrayal of a teacher in Starship Troopers made us aware that there was life after a teleseries.
It's amazing how the stars of television become a part of our lives; I think moreso than movie stars.  They are "intimately" with us making us laugh, cry, argue on a weekly or daily basis.  And they never grow old.  They are alive in our hearts and cure us of our blues.  Thank you Rhue for giving joy, laughter and "a good time."
