Maude | Vivian Gets A Facelift! | The Norman Lear Effect 

I'd like to see full episodes. Please

That what a good actress does...change up the characters tone, speak and mannerisms..

Is this from another TV series?

@@loufadoros20 Yeah Maude from the 70s

I know, I was just thinking the same thing.

I know, right?

Iirc prior to Golden Girls she was known for playing sweet and modest characters, while betty white for playing bombshell characters, and they switched for GG and it worked really well.

Noticed the exact same

She was smart, too. She was a German major in college. It’s a complicated language to learn.

@@ilovethetampabaylightning92 German is easier to learn than English: it is far more internally consistent and has fewer exceptions. I have never learned Spanish but I keep hearing it is supposed to be one of the easiest ones to learn, and my little brother learned it when he got to pick. Spanish wasn't an option when I went to school (we only had the options conversational French, grammar focused French, conversational German, and grammar focused German which I took because not understanding the structure behind it would drive me batty). French sure isn't one of the easiest, but not one of the most difficult either. I had English classes from 4th grade to 12th, German classes half a year in year 6, from 7th-9th, French for half a year in grade 6 plus from 10th until 11th. Everyone had to learn English, my oldest little sister picked French 6th-9th and then even got the option to learn Japanese. My little brother picked Spanish first and then Mandarin I believe, and my youngest little sister just went with German and French for the sake of getting an in on the classic languages plus germanic and romance language families in case she wanted to learn more later. To use the classic quote about English: "English doesn’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.” -James D. Nicoll And on top of that, you have to keep in mind local variations like American English, British English, Canadian English, and Australian English (plus Indian English if one has the fortitude for keeping up with that extremely different version, which IMO is every bit as valid as American English on account of both having been English colonies) as sometimes the exact same line can mean opposite things e.g. in British English and American English. Similarly to how things work with North American French, France-French, African French, and so on, similarly with the various Portuguese subtypes and Spanish subtypes.

She's playing a different role.

#classic 😂

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Sophia: Yeah, what else is new. You ancient bed hopping relic. Dorothy: Ma! Shady Pines!

@@ladyfire44 🤣

Well, that's... pretty jumpy

Ha! Good one 😆

Nice 😜

Now are you trying to tell us that you are…. _stunned?_

Lol

And with apparently zero recovery time needed. Did the writers not know it can take months for the bruising and swelling to go down and for the incisions to heal and blend in?

@@ericholck3914 I think with how prevalent it is now in "everyday culture", it just makes sense to us. However, back then it wasn't like now and I don't think your average person thought about it or even really knew.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Angry feminist dosent want hotty friend to look or feel good

I was wondering, because in this clip, Vivienne says she is 47. I know she was 51 when she started the Golden Girls. I don’t know what year this was, but Maude ran from ‘72-‘78 I think, so I was confused!

@@HB-xf2xl Yeah, Rue wasn’t even 40 yet when this aired.

@@RaphaelBas1995 Age is a funny thing. My father grayed @ 19 years old.

So they can age gracefully! I got it now I get it now it's good! ❤️✨😉✨😉✨😉🌟😉🌟❤️

@@RaphaelBas1995 she was 38. Pretty young compared to Bea.

It’s probably why their chemistry was so great on GG.

Betty and Rue worked as well together on Mama's Family

That's what I was thinking!!

It’s really just the fashion; if you look at her face she doesn’t have many wrinkles, or at least no more than you’d expect in your late 30s.

They actually used subtle aging makeup on Rue during her time on Maude to make her look closer to Bea Arthur in age. Rue's character Vivian was supposed to be Maude's best friend from college which would have made the character about 50 but as you say Rue was not even forty yet.

@@sansomdela It's rumored Bea Arthur had a facelift in real life between the end of Maude and the star of Golden Girls. Rue absolutely had one while doing the Golden Girls. In the first season of GOlden Girls, Rue looks older than she does later on.

@@timtonruben359 I can tell. Bea was stunning looking , as Dorothy but kind of grannyish as Maude.

When rue started the GG she looked so much younger than everyone else. Once the season came to an end she looked older than some of the other girls. Either way she was always gorgeous, didn’t need to touched her face at all

And Rue and Betty White acted together in the first season of Mama’s Family 😃

That’s me today

Well, I recall maybe that was a breast lift.

@@nishanttiwari6373 I think she mentioned everything lifted but especially her face after she saw her classmates at her school reunion💜

@@nishanttiwari6373 no augmentation

She looks gorgeous in her natural state

Sure! If you have a team of people behind you. 🙄

It’s nice that looking older and aging doesn’t have that stigma like it once used to.

Well they have so many things that if you start young youll look really good forever!

Plastic surgery has come a long way.

No they haven’t. 44 and 47 are old for women.

Betty and Rue worked together on Mama’s Family.

How old are u?

@@dddddadadad1796 who cares? If they're younger just be happy they're watching these shows at all!

Six years on Maude. Although she only appeared in two episodes in Srason 1.

@@thechandraraj6415 I read this in Blanche's voice :)

Young and beautiful then.. older now…

I thought it was Ally Sheedy for a second until I realized what decade this was in 😂

I'm 28 and I've loved this show since I was a little girl. Idk why but my favorite episode was the Mrs. Clackston episode when I was little. I used to DIE laughing when that lady kicked her casket.

@Logia SD you could not dislike anyone on the Golden girls because we got to know each woman so well, you really got to love them, ..I watch it every day either on hallmark or tv land or somewhere...💗💗💗💗

@Logia SD I agree, it was a sweet, loving and adorable show......I miss the whole cast.😪💗💗💗

@Logia SD agreed, like I previously said my 24 yr old son who was born in 1997 loves the show, he said he loves it because the characters are so funny you don't think about their age.

Not for long!

@No U Eh. I think what we see on TV and movies now includes a lot more editing, surgery and botox. They quite literally swap out body parts. Change height. You name it they can do it, and we think it's real. Sure those things play a huge factor. But I think what we see as "young" now, is 100% fake.

@@elizabethsessions4486 20 year olds today look like 40 year olds with facelifts.

I remember that episode! Didn't realize that was Rue!

@@matthewwelch4305 Yup! So funny how Rue could play vamps like Blanche Devereux and the wife swapping lady but also sweet and naive types like Vivian!

It IS old.

Today it’s even older, I mean look at the idiot reply from HIGH FIVE the 16 year old boy.

It kinda is…. People a lot of times only live til their 60s or 70s

But Blanche was in her 40s, remember?

@@lesliesteiner3928 Blanche was always in her 40's even though she was in her 50's lol

Rue was stunning.

I think Bea's voice was deeper

@@susanford2388 beas voice got notoriously higher during the golden girls era and continued until her death. I remember noticing that her voice was very different sounding in her guest appearance on Malcom in the middle.

@@eyeflaps I wonder why her voice got higher, normally it would stay the same or get lower. Nevertheless, she was famous for that voice & height. I loved her in GG. In fact the ensemble cast complemented each other. Wonderful timeless stuff.

Rue was always a knockout, at any age.

Why are you talking in 3rd person?

@@elizabethsessions4486 lol

How can you tell? I also heard she got a facelift at the end of the show.

Actually, it’s his 1ST Cousin.

Maude was funny but she’s a jealous shrew here

Super glue & rubber bands ...
