		When the call went out for an actress to play Sophia Petrillo, a peppery octogenarian whose recent stroke robbed her brain of its "tact"cells, in the upcoming TV series Golden Girls, Getty auditioned, only to be turned down because she was too young for the role.
		Four auditions later, she landed the part by hiring a makeup artist to add some 20 years to her facial features, wearing a too-big thrift shop dress, and remaining in character throughout the interview.
		For her efforts, Getty won a 1987 Emmy, a Golden Globe, and an American Comedy Award.

		Along with Arthur (a smart-mouthed Brooklyn native) was her old-world Sicilian mother (Estelle Getty), a bubble-headed Minnesota native (Betty White) and a sex-crazed belle from Georgia (Rue McClanahan).
		Getty was relatively unknown, but fit in well with more-established performers immediately (her character got away with more than the others as she was written as a lady who had suffered a major stroke which affected the relationship between what she said and thought).
		Herb Edelman (who made a name for himself in "The Odd Couple") was always a consistent element as Arthur's two-timing ex-husband and Harold Gould (who was a key player in "The Sting") also became a fixture during the series' latter episodes as White's love interest.

		A diminutive, endearing character actress Estelle Getty, after working for decades off-Broadway, in the Yiddish Theater, and on the "Borscht Belt" circuit, gained recognition and acclaim for her role as the traditional Jewish mother who discovers that her son is gay in Harvey Fierstein's "Torch Song Trilogy" (1979, 1981-83).
		Shortly after that play's road tour and a stint playing Cher's mother in the feature "Mask" (1984), Getty donned a white wig to create her best-known role, that of the feisty, wisecracking mother to Beatrice Arthur (who is less than a year younger than Getty) in the acclaimed TV sitcom "The Golden Girls" (NBC, 1985-92)....
