Everyone knows Golden Girls' Blanche Devereaux wasn't one to miss a party. So it's no wonder star Rue McClanahan is "devastated" after heart trouble forced her to cancel next week's gala celebration of her Golden days.
The actress had successful bypass surgery Wednesday in a New York, her rep says.
"My darlings, I'm just devastated that I'm going to have to miss my own tribute," the 75-year-old Emmy winner said in a statement. "Unfortunately, my doctor has laid down the law and I'm currently having some maintenance on the old ticker. Trust me, I'd much rather be in San Francisco having fun and being adored by all of you."
Worry not, Rue! We all can thank you for being a friend—and wish you a speedy recovery—from afar.
