She was actually the youngest of the four actresses. She put on a ton of makeup and a wig. I think she was like…was it four years or four months, or so younger than Bea Arthur who played Dorothy.

Thank you Cat. I think that Estelle was the first of the four to pass on…ironically the youngest, even though her character was the oldest…

How do you know if you are Blanche’s age or not? She was every age! Grin It was such an amazing show. It was my grandmother’s favorite show. And even now, one of my friend’s mothers will always say “picture it” before telling a story. We always roll our eyes and say “Go on Sophia.”

So do we! Either my husband or I will be telling a story and then say, “Picture this…” and the other one will continue, “Sicily, 1946” (or whatever year in Sicily her story happened!)

God bless, Estelle.

“Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen.”

She’s dead.

She’s either in Heaven, in which case she no longer needs our prayers, or she’s in Hell, in which case no prayer will help.

You know you’re usually antagonistic on these threads but now this is just really unnecessary and rude. Have some respect.

That’s not being antagonistic or rude. That’s just stating the Biblical position.

A person who dies either goes to Heaven or to Hell. If you don’t like that, then take it up with God. He’s the one who inspired the Biblical authors to describe it that way.

And I agree, take the arguments to another thread. **It’s in very poor taste to debate and raise controversial issues around people who are mourning. Would you do this in real life if someone announced in a group that a dear person died? Of course not. **JoeBlow, this is a Catholic forum and we believe in praying for the repose of those who have passed on. If you don’t, fine, but don’t argue about it in a thread like this, in which we are eulogizing a person we admire. As a Bible-believing Christian, I know that you know the Bible says that love is the greatest virtue, and that we will know who Christ’s followers are by their love. To deliberately argue in front of grieving people is not demonstrating Christ’s love, my friend. Go to the Apologetics Section and debate to your heart’s content.

I made this thread to remember a great actress, who passed away today, and to pray for her soul. NOT to start an argument about Purgatory! :mad: Kindly take it to another thread.
