DISCLAIMER: THE CLIP FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO DO NOT BELONG TO ME, I AM NOT MAKING ANY SORT OF PROFIT ON THEM, I'M POSTING SIMPLY FOR ENTERTAIMENT PURPOSES. IF YOU OWN THIS MATERIAL AND WOULD LIKE ME TO TAKE IT DOWN, PLEASE E-MAIL ME AND I WILL TAKE IT DOWN RIGHT AWAY.in my opinion this is one of the best performances estelle getty gives as sophia on the show. when sophia's son phil dies of a heart attack, she wants to blame phils wife, angela, for phils frequent crossdressing, but soon she looks inside herself and has to come to terms with her own guilt and embarrassment she felt towards her son.

Aug 20, 2008 - You're right. My great-grandmother has Alzheimer's disease and it kills me whenever I see what its doing to her. Dementia is an awful disease. When I found out Estelle died I was sad, but I was also happy, because she was free. This video really tells what a marvelous actress Estelle was.

Aug 20, 2008 - After raising her Family, one of Estelles` roles were playing Harvey Fiersteins' Mother in the stage version of "Torch Song Trilogy". People were dying all around her from AIDs. During the Plague years. And Estelle was at many bedsides giving comfort. My hope is that she was comforted in her last moments as lovingly as she was with Gay men who were treated like animals for being sick. Not so long ago. Her memory will always remain for a blessing. May she rest in peace.

Aug 20, 2008 - He died of natural causes, I believe; in this episode, Sophia feels ashamed Phil was a cross-dresser (in other words, she was scared her son was "different" from others), which brings her to tears.

mittiegirl Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - This episode always makes me cry. When Rose says, "It's okay that you loved him." Ma says back, "I did love him, he was my son, my little boy but every time I saw him, I always wondered what I did, what I said. When was the day that I did whatever I did to make him the way he was."Angela says, "What he was, Sofia a good man."Ma says, "My baby is gone."That scene always makes me cry. It is a part of Sofia's character we don't get to see very often. Rest in Peace Estelle Getty!

Aug 20, 2008 - I think it was a heart attack. He was younger than Dorothy, so a little young to be "natural causes". But I don't remember for sure.
