The tragedy has reminded audiences of her co-star in the series Bea Arthur, who died last spring.

Arthur was known on Golden Girls for playing practical Dorothy Zbornak, a role that won her an Emmy Award. Dorothy was a substitute teacher who, after her divorce, moved in with her mom Sophia and pals Blanche and Rose. Hilarity ensued, naturally, and fans couldn't get enough of the long-running show.

DON'T MISS
Before Golden Girls, Arthur also starred in the sitcoms All in the Family and Maude.

Arthur passed away on April 25, 2009 after losing a battle with cancer. The Broadway community and her Golden Girls co-stars paid tribute to the star.
