That tall, commanding bravado. The razor-sharp comic timing. The quarterback-tailored pantsuits. The furrowed brow and pleather boots and stone-cold grimace. No one will ever forget the things that made Bea Arthur -- who passed away this weekend at age 86 -- one of the most endearing icons to ever grace the stage and screen.
Furthermore, America's Golden Girl had a huge following on the Internet. She may not have been a proud member or the Twitterati, nor did she necessarily ask to find viral video fame on YouTube. Nevertheless, Bea Arthur found herself at the center of Urlesque posts time and time again, and it didn't end here.
Below, enjoy a load o' videos and links dedicated to our friend (and confidante) Bea Arthur.
