NEW YORK – Rue McClanahan, the Emmy-winning actress who brought the sexually-liberated Southern belle Blanche Devereaux to life on the hit TV series Golden Girls, has died. She was 76.
Her manager, Barbara Lawrence, said McClanahan died Thursday at New York-Presbyterian Hospital of a brain haemorrhage.
She had undergone treatment for breast cancer in 1997 and later lectured to cancer support groups on “aging gracefully”. In 2009, she had heart bypass surgery.
