She will deeply be missed. Her cynical lines were the best!

She was so great as Rocky Dennis' (Eric Stoltz) grandma, and Cher's mom, in Mask. Estelle was also very involved in Gay rights and AIDS awareness. She encouraged the writers of Golden Girls to address these issues that were almost never touched in the 80's on TV. Have a drink with Carlin, Sophia.
