Is blanche from golden girls still alive

No. Rue McClanahan, who played the bawdy Blanche Devereaux on the hit TV series "The Golden Girls", died on on June 3, 2010, after suffering a stroke at the age of 76.

McClanahan's costar, Beatrice Arthur, died from cancer in 2009 while Estelle Getty died in 2008. Surviving star Betty White has been recognized by the Guinness World Records for having the longest television career for a female entertainer.

Born in Healdton, Okla., Rue lived in six towns by the time she was 8. Her father was a road builder who moved from one project to another.

Her first job was off Broadway, in 1957, and she finally hit Broadway in 1969. TV work came from soap operas, until she made it on CBS's Maude, starring Beatrice Arthur, starting in 1972. She played Maude's best friend Vivian.

But it was Golden Girls that put her on the map and led to fame, fortune – and several husbands. In all, she had six, including actor Morrow Wilson, whom she wed in 1997 and who survives her, as does a son, Mark Bish, from her first marriage. - People.com.
