LOS ANGELES, April 25 (Reuters) - Emmy Award-winning actress Bea Arthur, best known as star of the hit TV comedies "Maude" and "Golden Girls," has died at age 86, entertainment news websites reported on Saturday.
Arthur, a longtime stage actress whose comic timing and deadpan delivery were a perfect fit for her sharp-tongued roles on the two series, died of cancer at her Los Angeles home, celebrity website TMZ reported.
Representatives for the actress, who won best-actress Emmys -- America's top television award -- for both "Maude" and "Golden Girls," could not immediately be reached for comment. CNN also reported her death.
