Estelle Getty was an excellent actress. Estelle really shined on screen. She was probably one of the funniest, if not the funniest, Golden Girl out of the four. She was so funny and I loved her for it. She is one of the main reasons I watch The Golden Girls. She wonderfully portrays the old Sicilian Sophia Petrillo. She brings Sophia to life. Sophia wouldn't be the same if anyone else were played her. Estelle Getty was definitely very, very talented. She was a personal favorite, and always will be for me. She is definitely a television icon and legend. May you R.I.P., Estelle Getty.

I love her a lot!!! She played Sophia in The Golden Girls, as well as other shows like Empty Nest and Golden Palace. She is sooo funny as Sophia. I love her sass and the accent she uses in the show. Sophia is very sassy but sooo sweet!!! I...

I love her a lot!!! She played Sophia in The Golden Girls, as well as other shows like Empty Nest and Golden Palace. She is sooo funny as Sophia. I love her sass and the accent she uses in the show. Sophia is very sassy but sooo sweet!!! I mean it!!!

I am just like sooo sad that she's sick. I heard she can't even remember anything anymore. One night, I was watching The Golden Girls, and when Sophia appeared, I saw her face and almost cried. I wish there were cures for all her sicknesses. In my opinion, 84 is waaay too young to die.

Estelle, if you end up leaving this world and going to heaven, will you please watch over me? You're a great person, and I look up to you. You're awesome!!!

I must admit that I'm only familar with Estelle Getty's television acting skills from her role of Sophia Patrillo in "The Golden Girls", but I have to say that it is with that role that makes me see what a great comedic actress she is. As Sophia, she brought a lot of spunk to the role and always, in my opinion, stole the show in whatever scene she was in the show. Another thing that I like about Estelle is how she brought that same spunk to her role as Sylvester Stallone's mother in the movie "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot", and that makes you appreciate her acting abilities. However, it's saddening to hear that due to her declining health, Estelle had to retire from the vocaton that she has loved all of her life. That's why she'll always live on to myself and other fans as Sophia Petrillo.

Funny things about Sophia:
+The faces she puts on behind people's backs
