Yup, it's
clearly a curse when a number of old women die! Next it will be be Betty, then He'll come for their firstborns!
I kid, I kid. Which is probably wildly inappropriate when we're talking about an unfortunate coincidence. But it's worth saying, I think, that Rue's, Estelle's and Bea's lives appear exceptionally well-lived. I don't think it has to be a tragedy when a full life comes to an end in old age.
I adore Betty White and have been so happy to see her resurgence. She's been doing awesome things for decades, it just took a while for facebook to notice. She appears to be in great shape--it's tough to handle a sitcom shooting schedule and Hot in Cleveland wouldn't have hired her if she weren't up to it. I don't think we have to worry just yet.
