(ENGLISH) Estelle Scher-Gettleman (July 25, 1923 –
July 22, 2008),[1] better known by her stage name Estelle
Getty, was an Emmy and Golden Globe Award winning American
actress, who appeared in film, theatre and television. She
is best known for her long-running role as Sophia Petrillo
on The Golden Girls from 1985 to 1992, on The Golden Palace
from 1992 to 1993 and on Empty Nest from 1993 to 1995. In
her later years, after retiring from acting, she battled Lewy
body dementia.
Getty was born Estelle Scher in New York City, the daughter
of Sarah and Charles Scher, Jewish immigrants from Poland
who worked in the glass business.[2] Getty got her start in
the Yiddish theater and also as a comedienne in the Catskills
borscht belt resorts, and among her most notable stage roles
was as Harvey Fierstein's mother in Torch Song Trilogy during
its original Broadway run.
She is best known for her role as Sophia Petrillo on the popular
1980s sitcom The Golden Girls. Her character was the wise-cracking
Sicilian mother of Dorothy Zbornak, played by Beatrice Arthur
(the other main characters being played by Betty White and
Rue McClanahan); in real life, Getty was in fact one year
younger than Arthur. Getty won an Emmy Award in 1988 for Outstanding
Supporting Actress.
During her time on the The Golden Girls, she wrote an autobiography,
with Steve Delsohn, titled If I Knew Then, What I Know Now...
So What? (Contemporary Books, 1988).[2] She further capitalized
on her success by releasing an exercise video for senior citizens
in 1993.
[edit] Personal life
Getty was married to Arthur Gettleman (whose name she adapted
into her stage name) from 1947 until his death in 2004. Getty
had two sons: Carl Gettleman, who lives in California, and
Barry Gettleman, who lives in Florida.[3]
In 1991, as later reported in Star magazine, Getty helped
to nurse her 29-year-old nephew Steven Scher, who was near
death and suffering from the final stages of AIDS.[citation
needed] Because Scher's parents lived in England and his friends
were no longer able to care for him in Greensboro, North Carolina,
Getty had him flown to California and admitted to hospice
care. He died in January 1992.
In 2000, Getty stopped making public appearances after revealing
she had Parkinson's disease and osteoporosis. In 2002, media
reports claimed she was also suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
Doctors later discovered she actually had Lewy body dementia;
both the Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diagnoses were incorrect.[3]
In 2003, Lifetime television hosted a Golden Girls reunion,
but Getty did not appear due to her failing health.
