Estelle Getty dies at 84


estelle getty diesPicture it, Los Angeles, 2008.  Estelle Getty, half of one of the funnier on-screen-mother-daughter-duos of our time (our time right? How old are you people?) has passed away at her Los Angeles home at 84.  Getty received her first breakthrough role at age 61 after being a struggling actress for years.  Perseverance paid off and before long she was starring with Sylvester Stallone in the art house film, Stop or My Mom Will Shoot.
