Of the four "Golden Girls," most of the gay men I know liked Blanche (the slut) best because she was played with so much zest by Rue Mclanahan, who won a well-deserved Emmy for the role. There was a "Golden Girls" reunion two years ago that I was lucky enough to be invited to and Rue, sharing the stage with Betty White and Bea Arthur, stole the show with her fuinny answers and remembrances.

Rue has been keeping busy on the Broadway stage and TV guest spots in recent years but she is returning to television on a regular basis next year on the new here!TV series "Ryan's Life," a light-hearted, semi autobiographical story of a teenager coming of age and coming out.

Rather than tell his friends or family, Ryan starts keeping a video journal to help figure things out and is aided by the "guardian angels" in his own eccentric and wise grandma,played by McClanahan. He then begins a hilarious, awkward, touching and ultimately inspiring journey toward accepting who he is, and having the courage to share it with the people he loves.
