Rue McClanahan Hospitalized: Rue100.jpgGolden Girls star Rue McClanahan, best known for her Emmy Award-winning role as Southern belle Blanche Devereaux, was hospitalized this week for heart bypass surgery. The actress was scheduled to appear at Golden: A Gala Tribute on November 14, an event in her honor that has since been canceled. McClanahan released the following statement from her New York hospital room: “My darlings, I’m just devastated that I am going to have to miss my own tribute at the Castro Theatre. Unfortunately, my doctor has laid down the law, and I’m currently having some maintenance on the old ticker. Trust me, I’d much rather be in San Francisco having fun and being adored by all of you.” Get well soon, Rue. [Popeater]

You are such a wonderful woman and I will pray for you to heal faster. I am a big fan of golden girls. And so is my son. You are the hottie of the show and always made me smile. We are a lot alike when it comes to that show my son says. Get well Rue!!!! Our prayers are with you! The Greathouse Family
