Is Estelle Getty from the Golden Girls still alive?

Question

If not, when did she die? I saw on the TV land awards that she wasnt up there with the other characters. I heard she has/had all-timers(dunno how to spell it). Is that true?

Answer 1

Estelle Getty (born Estelle Scher on July 25, 1923 in New York City, USA) is an Emmy and Golden Globe Award winning actress (theatre and screen). She has retired from acting and is currently battling Dementia.

Answer 2

I just checked and IMDB said she is still alive and 83. I don't know how up to date it is. According to some other material she has Parkinson's. She lives in a nursing home. What a rotten disease. I want to say thank you to the Canuck below me. He put up a website on Estelle Getty. I just checked it. Lewy Body Disease is horrible. A friend of ours had that. Fellow Canuck?? I live in Ontario.

Answer 3

Yes, she is ill therefor she could not attend the TV Land award thing.

Answer 4

Yes
