We’ve lost another ‘Golden Girl’.

Rue McClanahan better known as Blanche Devereaux on the hit series passed away this morning at the age of 76 from a stroke.

Ms. McClanahan starred in ‘Golden Girls’ from 1985-92 along with Bea Arthur, Betty White, and Estelle Getty.

Betty White (who most recently hosted SNL) is now the sole surviving member of the series as Ms. Getty passed away in 2008 and Ms. Arthur in 2009.

Betty White said the following in a personal statement “Rue was a close and dear friend. I treasured our relationship. It hurts more than I even thought it would, if that’s possible.”
