Bea Arthur, star of "Maude" and "The Golden Girls", died at her home in Los Angeles on Saturday, April 25. She had cancer.
The Tony Award-winning actress played Maude in the 70's sitcom by that name. The character was Archie Bunker's liberal nemesis.
I've been working lately on a comparative study of Maude and the Goddess concept and how she embodied four archetypal feminine archetypes mentioned in the theme song: Joan of Arc, Lady Godiva, Isadora, and Betsy Ross. Right On Maude!
Unfortunately, Arthur will not be around to read it.
