Horrible News: Rue McClanahan Dead At 76
Nooo! No. According to People, RUE MCCLANAHAN has departed this terrible planet. From Starship Troopers to Murphy Brown to Murder She Wrote to Touched by an Angel, Ms. McClanahan was a hard-working woman, who never missed an opportunity to show up with a wink and an unparalleled repertory of great schtick. The Summer of Death 2™ is already a horrorshow.
DEATHPROOF HUMAN-FORCEFIELD AROUND BETTY WHITE. NOW, PEOPLE!
Let's use Cloris Leachman as a decoy!
Sacrifice that sweet Jaguar?! Fuck that, I'm building a Phyllis Schlafly cannon. Fire Phyllis at Death at close range. The black energies will void themselves and we'll be spared celebrity deaths for another couple years AT LEAST.
@Keiser: Not my Cloris!
She did the "oversexed old bag" bit way better than that old lady from Mannequin.

Still the best pic ever of her.
Ms. Deveraux you're trying to seduce me!
Murder She Wrote? I think you have the wrong old lady in mind. That's angela landsbury
I loved her in Star Wars.
She was exceptional in The Godfather. Convincing, that's what she was.
Her best work was as Bond villainess Valvoline Lubricante in Pussyraker.
If the GG's are like the Beatles, would you say Rue was George?
Golden Girls, Choire. It's Golden Girls.
She was also great in Dallas.
SATC2 is the prequel to Golden Girls.
I fucking HATE sequels.
How do you feel about spin-offs?
Because Empty Nest was the best of the Golden Girls spin-offs. Oh Kristy McNichol, we hardly knew yee.
She was so good, she was great in stuff she wasn't even in.
Wikipedia says she was in adult films in the early 70's and "found a niche in the incest role playing market".
Oh, wow someone's gone nuts on her Wiki page, there's worse stuff at the bottom!
Golden Shower Girls
I'm having her Wiki pages dusted for saythatscool's fingerprints.
@karen: Mama's Incestuous Family
@scrolly: That was all American Dreamer. I had nothing to do with that.
@Some took AD's insane ramblings down pretty quickly although I still saw a note about some movie in which she played a "vicious fag hag" so not sure if that's legit or not. That would make a great band name, BTW.

Rue's version of the Lambada in Hollywood After Dark.
If there's an afterlife, she and Bea Arthur are somewhere together, rolling their eyes and wondering how the hell Betty White managed to outlive them.
I'm changing into a caftan and heading out to the lanai…
Co-sign. Plus, Rue and Bea Arthur went way back, Rue played Vivian, one of the neighbors on Maude.
But she was the young one!!!
(Also: MAUDE)
What I find funny is that Estelle Getty was actually the youngest actress. Must've had a hard life.
Rue was the youngest. I just finished her autobiography.
Really!? I stand corrected!
Starship Troopers? OK, I'm going back to that one stat.
This
seems less funny now. Frowny face.
Mr. BL was always kind of in love with her. He is going to be sad tonight.
Loved Rue in "This World, Then the Fireworks," and underrated trashy gem, as the addled, creepy mom.
