Beloved TV actress Rue McClanahan, best known for her oversexed, promiscuous and outgoing menopausal portrayal of southern belle Blanche Devereaux on the 1980's TV series The Golden Girls has passed away at the age of 76 from a stroke.
We'd like to take a moment to remember Rue from her beginnings, in horror films, like 1961's Five Minutes to Live, in which she played a small uncredited role; the strippers-getting-killed-by-a-maniac TV film Angel's Flight; the episode Daisies of James Coburn's TV-horror series Darkroom; Jeff Lieberman's slasher Blade; and the sci-fi movie Starship Troopers. Even in 2009 Rue was appearing on the Biography Channel's Celebrity Ghost Stories. We'll miss this charming and funny actress...
