Oh kittens! Let us light a thousand candles in a vigil for Rue McClanahan. The fiercest ho on the “Golden Girls” suffered a stroke shortly after undergoing a heart bypass surgery.
Via America’s Globe Magazine Per Contact Music:
“The 75 year old collapsed in a New York hospital a week after undergoing surgery.
Doctors worked around the clock to remove a blood clot, but feared they’d failed to save MCClanahan’s life.Wilson says, “Then, her right leg began to move and, not long afterward, she was able to walk a bit.
“They kept her in ICU (intensive care) for two weeks and then put her into the rehab centre. She’s come out of that and is now in a nursing facility.”
While we are all very thankful she has survived the stroke, it has taken a toll on the actress.
“Wilson, who has been married to MCClanahan for 12 years, adds, “She can understand what you are saying in conversation, but still has some trouble speaking. Her speech is slower than it once was and she hasn’t completely recovered on the right side of her body.”
We here at Hollywood Dame wish her the best of health and happiness. We hope she continues to recover and admire her strength.
