Petite actress, Estelle Getty (4'10 1/2"), perhaps most well known in her role as Sophia (a character some 20 years older than herself!) in the 1980s sitcom, Golden Girls, has died at the age of 84. Estelle has also appeared in a variety of TV shows and movies, including Mad About You, Blossom and even Sly Stallone's mom in the movie Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.
As Dorothy's mom in Golden Girls, Estelle showed the world that there are roles out there for fiesty petite women, and that even someone her height can make a grown woman some 12-14 inches taller go "AW MAAAAAAA!!!!!!"
