Great Blanche Moments

There are so much more, but here are a few.

Rue McClanahan has Died

Rue McClanahan has passed away.

PEOPLE reports:

"She passed away at 1 a.m. this morning," her manager, Barbara Lawrence, tells PEOPLE. She had a massive stroke." McClanahan, who played Blanche Deveraux in the beloved sitcom, Golden Girls, had suffered a minor stroke earlier this year while recovering from bypass surgery. Lawrence added that at the time of her death Thursday, McClanahan “had her family with her. She went in peace.”

Rest in Peace

Rue McClanahan suffers a Stroke!

Oh No!

Golden Girl and former Broadway star Rue McClanahan, has sadly suffered a stroke while recovering from bypass surgery that she received in November. As previously reported, the actress underwent the surgery to treat an acute cardiac illness.

Doctors were reportedly successful in removing the blood clot that caused the stroke, which occurred soon after the surgery, but McClanahan's recovery has been slow. She spent two weeks in the ICU and is now in a nursing facility having completed rehab. Says her husband Matthew Wilson: "She can understand what you are saying in conversation, but still has some trouble speaking. Her speech is slower than it once was and she hasn't completely recovered on the right side of her body. She's going to require a lot more physical and speech therapy - but at least it's not like I stay awake at nights any more thinking that Rue is going to die."

I hope for a speedy recovery.
