ESTELLE GETTY
Black and white publicity photograph of Estelle Getty as herself and
as Sophia on the television show Golden Girls.
Photograph inscribed and signed: "Emil-/Best regarda/Estelle
Getty". B/w, 10x8 overall, two images 4½x5¾ (one surface). Picture on the
left is of herself and the one on the right is of her as Sophia on the
television show Golden Girls. Name imprinted at lower margin. A
5-foot-tall embodiment of the phrase "late bloomer," Getty (1923-2008,
born Estelle Scher in New York City) was 47 years old when she made her first
off-Broadway stage appearance. Getty gained renown in 1982 for her vitriolic
performance as Harvey Fierstein's mother in the Pulitzer Prize-winning play
Torch Song Trilogy. She played Sophia on Golden Girls from
1985 to 1992, reprising the character for the spin-off series Golden
Palace (1992) and for two year's worth of appearances on another sitcom,
Empty Nest. For her efforts, Getty won a 1987 Emmy, a Golden Globe
and an American Comedy Award. She also evidently became typecast for life,
as witness her Sophia-like co-starring performance in the 1992 Sylvester
Stallone vehicle Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot. Fine
condition.
