I know Estelle has been very sick for a few years now, and I've looked for information on her health to see if she was still alive. I can't find anything. I hope she is still alive, because I love her so much. She's one of my favourite actresses. I watch her all the time on The… More Golden Girls . I've even taped a few episodes. She always puts a smile on my face, especially when I'm feeling down. Does anyone know if she's still alive? If she is, I hope she's alright. Poor thing.

Estelle Getty dies at the age of 84 in Los Angeles; Emmy-winner played fast-talking Sophia on The Golden Girls.
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 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!!!

She is my all time favorite Golden Girl, always quick with an insult. I love her. She adds spunk, creativity, and she just steels the show. No other character out there like her. Its my favorite show. I wish it went on for longer, the Golden Palace didn't do her justice like the Golden Girls.
The only role I know her from is the Role of Sofia Petrilo on the great show of Golden Girls, I need to seek out her other roles, but this one was pure genius, no ne could of played it better, I hope for her all the best in her battlle with alzhiemers, and I will always remember her as quip master.. on GG
