BEATRICE Arthur, the tall, deep-voiced actress whose razor-sharp delivery of comedy lines made her a TV star in the hit shows ``Maude'' and ``The Golden Girls'' and who won a Tony Award for the musical ``Mame,'' died Saturday. She was 86.
Arthur died peacefully at her Los Angeles home with her family at her side, family spokesman Dan Watt said. She had cancer, Watt said, declining to give details.
``She was a brilliant and witty woman,'' said Watt, who was Arthur's personal assistant for six years. ``Bea will always have a special place in my heart.''

Celebrity is a funny thing. It enhances some lives and destroys others. Some people are aware of how famous they are while others act like they are just ordinary people. And in truth they are all just human beings like the rest of us. They are just richer and better known.>
