'Estelle may have been suffering from any of the following symptoms:

Mental decline (reduced alertness and lowered attention span), recurrent visual hallucinations, usually related to people or animals (These hallucinations occur in 80% of LBD patients, often at night), poor response to antipsychotic medications known as neuroleptics, which are usually given to people with mental health problems (In the case of a Lewy Body Disease patient, however, this class of drugs may actually amplify rigidity and confusion, and can even cause sudden death), increasing problems handling the tasks of daily living, repeated falls, sleep disturbances, including insomnia and acting out dreams, delusions or depression, fluctuations in autonomic processes, including blood pressure, body temperature, urinary difficulties, constipation, and difficulty swallowing.

I loved her most in the Golden Girls , she was funny and i loved how she insulted people because of her stroke.
And also in manniquin although her role wasn't to big there but still she was a wonderful actress.
I will never forget her.

My sisters used to watch The Golden Girls years ago, and through them I pretty much saw most of it. Where's Bea Arthur these days?

Well, that sucks.
I always liked The Golden Girls. It was a great show. I am a HUGE fan of older sitcoms, and this was a good one.
It is the only thing that I watch on Lifetime, and the character that she played was the funniest.

This death I was sorry to hear about. Estelle was a great actress and her role of Sophia in Golden Girls, was legendary (I was a huge fan of Golden Girls as a child and still am now, watching the DVD's and all). Her illness was very unfortunate but I guess we've all got to go some way or other.

RIP.
