Golden Girl Rue McClanahan has suffered a minor stroke following heart bypass surgery.
McClanahan is 75.
A rep for the actress told E! that McClanahan underwent heart surgery in November and then spent two weeks in a hospital intensive care unit after doctors successfully removed a blood clot from her brain.
The actress is in physical therapy and is expected to be discharged from the hospital by the end of the month.
Get well Rue!
