Blanche Devereaux

AllAboutTheBenjamin · June 2010

Rue McClanahan died today

This is me being weepy - I always get sad when another one of the Golden Girls passes away. Even though I never knew them in real life I always felt like they were my grandmas, or something.

christyran1228 · June 2010

This makes me sad.

SarahPLiz · June 2010

Boo

I thought she was very entertaining.

MarriedInAFever · June 2010

Aww. It is sad.

Liz4444 · June 2010

we fall asleep to Golden Girls every night... i am so sad now! I really hope Betty is immortal!

shellydiane820 · June 2010

I'm going to have a slice of cheesecake and screw a guy tonight in her memory.

sarahmk5 · June 2010

That's so sad. I love Golden Girls. Poor Betty White is the only one left.

MarriedInAFever · June 2010

That's the spirit, Shelly!

That's the best tribute ever.

Sigh. She was my favorite. I LOVED how vain she was. Well, Blanche - Not Rue. Rue of course was so classy.

So celebrity deaths go in threes. Gary Coleman, Rue, and then... who?

leayn · June 2010

Oh my Shelly!!! I also grew up watching this show. I love Blanche, and I used to want to have a southern accent just to be like her. Mind you, I did not understand half of her jokes b/c I was young, but still.

I agree, Betty White can never die! She is my all time favorite.

shellydiane820 · June 2010

Dennis Hopper passed.

I remember when I was little taking to heart what she said about shaving everything from her thigh down. I thought she shaved her toes.

Then I watched it again a few years ago on DVD and was like "hahaha! I get it!"

missy68 · June 2010

Art Linkletter, Paul Gray, bassist of Slipknot

missy68 · June 2010

Oh hello - can't believe I forgot Dennis Hopper.

AllAboutTheBenjamin · June 2010

Dennis Hopper - good catch, he was first right?

So then it goes Hopper, Gary, and Rue?

shellydiane820 · June 2010

I thought Gary died first. Hmmm...not sure.

missy68 · June 2010

Also, Simon Monjack, if you want to consider him a pseudo-celebrity.

missy68 · June 2010

Gary Coleman died on the 28th

Dennis Hopper died on the 29th

Art Linkletter died on the 26th

Paul Gary died on the 25th

AllAboutTheBenjamin · June 2010

SAAAAAAAAD about Simon Monjack too.

Yeah. I guess it's not really a good time to be a celeb lately. They're all dropping like flies

Dennis Hopper died on Saturday, Rue was number 3.

So, um...Bea Arthur died last year and if memory serves, Estelle Getty died the year before last, now Rue....I don't like where this is going.

AllAboutTheBenjamin · June 2010

I know.

If Betty dies next year I'm fairly sure I will stay in my room for a month.

526SadieSadie · June 2010

They were like four more grandmothers for us children of the 1980's, it's very very sad that they're almost all gone. Betty looks fantastic though, and her comic chops are alive and kicking!

AllAboutTheBenjamin · June 2010

Yeah she is pretty spry for being as old as she is.

She's just so delightful to watch

BecW2be · June 2010

I saw Rue in Wicked a couple of years ago in NYC, and she was awesome. This makes me so sad. Poor Blanche.

missy68 · June 2010

Technically, Rue was #5.

Right?! I loved that show. I like it even more now that I get the jokes. It was quite risque for it's time. There was an episode about HIV, remember that?

Blanche was totally my favorite. How old was she?

Especially for a show about old ladies.. what a great one it was though. So sad, RIP Blanche.

AllAboutTheBenjamin · June 2010

She was 76 years young.

FutureMrsFraser · June 2010

This makes me sad, I used to watch that show with my grandmother.
