Not quite. Sophia's mom would have been around 100 - 110 years old. The Golden Girls were Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and (Dorothy's mom) Sophia. She was not a side character, but most definitely one of the four GGs.

So far, so good for me. I might have checked with my +1 on $30k, but I was pretty confident that Jerry Seinfeld didn't win an Emmy. I mistakenly thought he was the only one of the four to not win it, but no harm no foul.
