So, earlier today. In the morning a iconic actress passed away. Rue was born on February 21, 1934. She is well known for her part as Blanche Devereaux in the popular show, "The Golden Girls". But, what some people might not know about her is that she was a Broadway star during the 50s. Or that she even was in the show "Mama's Family" for two years playing "Aunt Fran". Until the show got cancelled by NBC. But, two years after "The Golden Girls" ended (in 1997), she was diagnosed with cancer. She went through five months of chemotherapy. Not only that, in early 2010, she suffered a minor stroke while recovering from a heart bypass surgery. A few months after her minor stroke, in May (2010), she passed away after having a stroke. Now that she has passed, Betty White, is the only remaining original "Golden Girl". From the show "The Golden Girls". She will always be remembered though. So, rest in peace Rue.
