Doctor Orders Rue McClanahan To Miss Her Own Tribute

Rue McClanahanAccording to PopEater actress, Rue McClanahan, 75, best known as Blanche Devereaux of The Golden Girls was told by doctors she was not well enough to attend a tribute in her name on November 14th due to the current condition of her heart. ‘Golden: A Gala Tribute to Rue McClanahan’ was reportedly scheduled to take place at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco and would have featured clips, a sing-along to the ‘Golden’ theme and look-a-like contest.

The following is what Rue had to say about the situation:

“My darlings, I’m just devastated that I am going to have to miss my own tribute. 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.”

I’m sure she would be! My thoughts and prayers go out to Rue for a safe and speedy recovery. I look forward to seeing the tribute which will hopefully be rescheduled for a later date.

    All of the Golden Girls are amazingly warmhearted, genorous, kind, extremely talented and great actresses. The world is still reeling from the loss of Estelle Getty and Bea Arthur.

    It is with great admiration and with much respect that we are still lucky enough to have Rue McClanahan and Betty White. Imagine, how they both have to cope and endure with the loss of their beloved friends. The Golden Girls is just one of their many accomplishments that will live on in infamy!!!!!

    My family and I wish Rue a healthy and speedy recovery. The world is awaiting for you Rue, and May God keep you safe and well for all of us to enjoy for many years to come!!!

    God Bless You, Rue
