She had the best facial expressions of any actor I have seen in my 58 yrs on this earth...she could kill with a look, and her timing was absolutely phenomenal....miss you Bea!!
God I miss her, she was easily one of the finest comediennes of all time. Her timing was uncanny and perfect, her one-liners and banter on the Golden Girls were absolutely hilarious. She was awesome, a true talent and a half.
“Men love a big behind!” Bea certainly wasn’t kidding! Miss her, Estelle, and Rue with each passing day! The four of them were and are America’s Golden Age!
I was lucky enough to have seen Bea's show three times in 2001. Met her personally the third time. She was just so unbelievable and so sweet and looked gorgeous in person and was amazed by my mom and me she thought my mom and I looked like sisters! She said "You look more like her younger sister." Love and miss her more than words can say xxx !!!
i know Im asking randomly but does someone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot my account password. I love any assistance you can offer me
@Adam Marcos Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Mom and I were crying side by side when we saw this. I remember me being about five years old and she would watch the Golden Girls, it was a mother and daughter moment. Thank you Bea Arthur and everyone else in The Golden Girls for being a part of my childhood.
Seriously, some of us who had hard times as children...Rue, Estelle, Bea and Betty became our family! I have gone through 2 sets of DVD and about to get another!
When she played as Dorothy on the Golden Girls, I felt as if I was looking at an older version of myself. Her portrayal of Dorothy really clicked with me. Sophia could have been my mother. I think that's why the show was so successful. People could relate to the people in the show. RIP BEA ARTHUR!!
I loved Bea Arthur!!!! Dorothy was my favorite Golden Girl. On the Golden Girls, she reminded me of what I feel my favorite Aunt would have been like had she not died at age of 57.
I love her !!! I can't believe she was shy..how? She must have stood in front of hundreds of people and done a lot of interviews she didn't seem shy to me..miss her
The very end of this interview, was the answer to a question/thought that has been haunting me for over 2 years. I've struggled with the decision rather to retire or not. "People who are tired of their job retire, actors don't retire"...I'm no actor, but I am ready to move on...I'm tired! Thanks Bea - Gone, but never forgotten...
I am a huge Golden Girls fan and loved the Maude episodes I saw. I always regretted that I never had the opportunity to see her in the theatre. RIP Bea Arthur, thank you for all the laughs, moving moments and much respect for your efforts for animal rights.You will be truely missed.
Estelle Getty, Rue Mclanahan, Bea Arthur, Betty White, Jean Stapleton, Vickie Lawrence, Carol Burnett, Carrol O'Connor, Lucille Ball ... my favorite pre 90s tv stars... My list of today's tv stars is shorter, but there are a few I like but nowhere near the above list. RIP to all the above who are gone
this made me cry.. remember being a little girl watching the golden girls with my grandmother and 20some years later im still doing the same.. their generation of people were wonderful and had elegance with class. young girls nowadays could learn a thing or two from people like bea authur about self respect.
The world is worse off without Bea Arthur. I believe few fans saw the real Bea. She was private and sensitive, and a very caring human being. I love(d) her honesty and sharp wit. She didn't have time for things that have no soul. She was lovely - inside and out. She was the kind of person people should look up to, instead we seem to honour shallowness and stupidity nowadays. I would gladly stay home on a Friday night just to watch Dorothy. And she could sing. Well done Bea. You showed the world what real actor should be. We will indeed miss you.
I loved her in Golden Girls. I just wish they also mentioned her service in the United States Marine Core. from one veteran to another, until Valhalla.
Pamela Anderson's Roast brought me here. My mom and I were talking about a recent one and for some reason BEA popped in my mind, and I was like, "Didn't MAUDE do one of the Roasts"...then I had to go check it out again,,, she was HILARIOUS!! She seemed like she would have been an awesome lady to know..like, she would crack you up over the phone! RIP honey!
On my first visit to New York 30 odd years ago, I had heard so much about "Sardis"...so made it high on my "must visit" list. All the caricatures were fantastic! I miss Bea Arthur and "The Golden Girls" so much - it was my all-time favourite show. I saw Bea in her one-woman show at London's Savoy Theatre. She was incredible.
Actually Bea passed of lung cancer on April 25th...This story and youtube post was the next day, the 26th. Ironically Lucille Ball did pass away on Carol Burnett's birthday, April 26th...another close friend of hers....
I love Dorothy! She is so funny and sarcastic and yet so kind all the same. All those beautiful golden girls make me smile during hard times! RIP Bea, Rue and Estelle , and keep going strong Miss Betty 💜
12/31/2021 today Betty White has left us, now the Golden Girls are together again.thanks for the all the joy and the laughter Betty, Bea, Estelle and Rue brought into our lives.🌹🌹😄🌹🌹
Her sarcasm was so funny ! She was a wonderful actress , she could do it All !! It's been a while since she left us, but she is still here with the clips and video's ¡ Thank Goodness !! Rest !
She was a fantastic actress. Back then with my mother, I enjoyed looking at the Golden Girls and it is still a pleasure today. Maybe it was fate for my husband to have the first name Arthur. So Bea is always omnipresent. I loved her sarcasm as Dorothy. It's a shame that she is no longer with us. Rest in peace Bea.
What kind of person is the ONE complete asshole DISLIKES a tribute to a deceased star that entertained us for decades? Someone whose grave I'D be happy to dance on.
I don't think she had a "fued" with Betty White, they were just different. I have heard many things that proved they really liked each other, deep down.
I'm here because of Wade Wilson! I regretfully never really saw the Golden Girls (I'm changing that now) I was more of a Married with Children fan. I am beginning to understand as to why Bea Arthur was an awesome soul. Thank you, Deadpool for opening this door for me. R.I.P. Bea. :(
I think it was her personality in each character made her larger than life. I believe who she really is always shined through. My mother met her years ago in NYC. Until my mom's passing she always smiled when retelling this memory of the afternoon she met and hung out with Ms. Bea.
I think it was because she had a large frame and her clothes emphasized her weight and height.......also, of course, Betty and Estelle were petite in comparison.
Just recently discovered the classic sitcom Golden Girls and now I'm a big fan of this show!, love all the Golden Girls. RIP 🙏 all the 3 Golden girls who have passed on. 🙏 Prayers for Betty White that she lives long 🙏 and in good health 🙏
She was a funny lady! Loved her! I loved her when I first saw her on ALL IN THE FAMILY and then MAUDE. She was so very good on THE GOLDEN GIRLS and that show wouldn't have been gold without her! May she continue to rest in peace making people laugh even in eternity! Peace.
Bea was a very unusual lady! She said she was "5'9,1/2" in her stocking feet" so with any shoe at all, (and she wore 2" heels regularly) she looked taller. With Betty White (5'4") and Rue McClanahan (5'3") and Estelle Getty was 4'10 1/2" and a year younger than Bea! So certain things were bound to be funny in that set-up! Bea could have the most enigmatic facial expressions, sometimes with that knitted-brow accompaniment and sometimes without, in any event, she came across always, as very stern and authoritative! I never saw "Maude" because I was working, and don't really like it that much now, but I love the "Golden Girls" and watch it every day!
I recently watched a few DVDs of "Maude," and some of the episodes were hysterical!! If you don't mind a lot of yelling and loud talk, you should give it a try!!
Thanks 🙏🏻 Bea for the beautiful memories. Saturday night on NBC, couldn’t wait to watch the ‘Golden Girls’. Miss those days. They were just beautiful together.
What.....she passed away 2 days after my 5th birthday. 6 or 5 years later, I started watching “The Golden Girls” on Hallmark Channel. Then about in 2017-2018, I started watching “Maude”. I really love both of these shows. Shame only one who still survives is Mrs. Betty White. RIP Dorothy/Maude , thanks for giving us your comedy. Can you said hi to Walter, and Sophia and Blanche?
