Estelle Getty died today, causing this obituary to happen.

"In similar vein of take-no-prisoners elder, Getty played Sylvester Stallone's domineering mother, Tutti Bomowski, in "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot." Generically, it was a battling-buddy movie whose comic thrust was the diminutive Getty's bossing around her L.A. lawman son."

How necessary is it, on a 1-10 scale, to sum up what the Stallone movie was about?

I've followed her career closely since Tootsie in 1982. I can't believe they didn't even bring up her perennial Emmy nomination for Oustanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Golden Girls?

Not to mention her contribution to Stewart Little? For shame.

PS: I was disappointed that it was Golden Girls and not Gilmore Girls as I had originally read.
