Bea Arthur's Maude made television history when she got an abortion. (Try to get away with showing that as the best possible option for a woman in these Knocked Up / Juno days...)
Believe she also played Yenta the Matchmaker in the original Broadway production of Fiddler on the Roof -- can still hear that brassy voice "The way she sees and the way he looks, it's a perfect match!"
Damn it, I thought Bea Arthur was incapable of dying.
