Beatrice, you were among the greatest entertainers the world has lost. You and "the girls" are a real day brightener. We are all going to miss the tall, statuesque, sharp tongued Dorothy Zbornak. Nobody could have done it better. How lucky are we to be able to laugh ourselves into oblivion watching you lace into Stan, fight with Ma and show Blanche and Rose what true friendship really is. It was always so much fun to fantasize being you in the "Golden Girls". Bea, you will forever be with us in spirit.
