Rue McClanahan may have pals and confidants, but her heart is not being true to her.
The actress who played feisty Blanche Devereaux on the long-running sitcom, “The Golden Girls,” has been forced to pull out of her own tribute in San Francisco after being hospitalized this week for heart bypass surgery, according to SFGate.com.
"Trust me, I'd rather be in San Francisco having fun and being adored by all of you" than in a New York hospital, McClanahan said in a statement.
PinkPaper.com has some additional scoop from the ailing 74-year-old:
"Unfortunately, my doctor has laid down the law,” she admits. “And I'm currently having some maintenance on the old ticker."
Get well soon, Rue!
