Rue McClanahan born on 21st February 1934, is an American actress, known for her roles as Vivian Cavender Harmon on Maude, Fran Crowley on Mama’s Family, and Blanche Devereaux on The Golden Girls.
She began acting on Off-Broadway in New York City in 1957, but did not make her Broadway debut until 1969 when she portrayed Sally Weber in the original production of John Sebastian and Murray Schisgal’s musical, Jimmy Shine, with Dustin Hoffman in the title role.
Her role as Caroline Johnson on Another World from July 1970 – September 1971 brought her notoriety. On the show, while taking care of twins Michael and Marianne Randolph, Caroline fell in love with their father, John, and began poisoning their mother, Pat. The short-term role was extended to more than a year before Caroline was finally brought to justice after kidnapping the twins. Once her role on Another World ended, Rue joined the cast of the CBS soap Where the Heart Is, in which she played Margaret Jardin.

Rain Man Dies
Rain Man Dies, Kim Peek, the man who inspired the 1988 comedy-drama film Rain Man, has died. He was 58.
Kim had suffered a major heart attack on Saturday (December 19) and was pronounced dead at a hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Over the years, Kim has inspired a lot of people. He had mental handicaps but scientists and researchers called him “a mega-savant” because he could memorize and recite huge amounts of information on various topics. However, simple tasks like dressing himself or setting the table eluded him.
Kim’s astounding gift to retain knowledge inspired Barry Morrow to write Rain Man, the Oscar-winning movie starring Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise.
