Bea Arthur, 86

Legendary stage and television star Bea Arthur died at her home this morning at age 86. Family members say the Tony and Emmy winner had been battling cancer, but no other details are yet available. Below, I’ve compiled some of my favorite Bea Arthur television moments. Make sure you play the clip with Rock Hudson in which he and Bea sing a song about recreational drugs – they even mention poppers. What a sad, sad day. Even when I was a wee lad, when I first saw Bea Arthur on All In the Family, I somehow knew I was witnessing greatness.
