Loved her. She was - and I mean this in the best way - a great broad. Spunky and funny. She'll be missed. One of my all time favorites scenes:

I loved her dead-pan looks that she gave!
I would have liked to know her in person.

My thoughts exactly. I had no clue that she was 86, until I forced myself to think about how long ago those series were on broadcast TV.

Rue McClanahan (Blanche) was in an episode of Law & Order SVU a couple of weeks ago. I didn't recognize her at all; ShallowsFuzz recognized her voice and the credits proved him right.
