Bea Arthur in The Man in the Moon

[@CJ-hg9cs]

I never get tired of watching that classic look she gives here when she says “Sondheim could’ve rhymed it”. God I miss this lady.

[@daviddennison1787]

Ditto

[@jimfarrowlove]

Bea Arthur always had such class. She radiated dignity and grace.

[@MarkIra613]

I had the privledge of seeing "Mame" with the original cast. The only way I can describe Bea Arthur's Tony-winning performance is that she didn't really walk onto the stage. She strapped it on, and used it like Annie Oakley used a six-shooter! She was the BEST!!!

[@stevehinnenkamp5625]

Miss Bea held court on stage with each appearance. She had command. The audiences fortunate to witness her became her subjects. She had star-power.

[@BTURNER1961]

Just give Bea the line, and she will deliver the laugh....every single time.

[@EagleRockers]

I saw Bea do this in the original "Mame" with Angela Lansbury. I know now I was witnessing Broadway history even at 12 years of age.

[@WelahHomo87]

I'd do anything to have seen that

[@diannaskare7829]

I bet that was glorious ! They both are such wonderful actors , I would have loved to see them perform in person ! I heard they " Just Shine On Stage !"

[@LynnSanders]

I was the same age when I had the absolute pleasure of getting to see Mame with my mom and girlfriend. The show was so awesome💓. Never forgot it!

*I knew I was

[@EagleRockers]

[@aufbrechen]

that's nostalgic. And I feel that those times (1993) were better than our present

[@Flash9Flood]

I love her voice, it's so unique. Plus, she's got charisma.

[@WelahHomo87]

I love her in this too

[@elvenlove]

"Sondheim could have rhymed it ...." LOVE IT!!

[@RatherBeReading25]

Said in as a true Dorothy one liner

[@overloadfluffy2494]

RIP

[@thebeardedrailfan]

She was such an amazing woman. Her comical timing has yet to be met by any other actor. I stop in awe every time she is on TV.

[@ROOKTABULA]

Amazing she had the pipes like that in her early 70's

[@toadster749]

Bea may be gone physically, but her talent and charm and glory will never be gone

[@Adoranger]

I remember when I first heard about her passing; it was a huge shock, and I felt as if I had lost a friend. Growing up with Golden Girls, and then having the fortune of watching Maude, I can only say that Beatrice Arthur is still at a level of perfection that few can reach. R.I.P., you lady of style, grace and immense talent.

[@georgimihailov4906]

Bea Arthur is a wonderful singer. (Top notch actress, too).

[@thomaslawrence2375]

She is literally unleashing her Dorothy ♥️♥️♥️

[@yentl50]

I remember seeing this "live" at the Hollywood Bowl. Love you, Bea! My hero!!

[@GodsVibes]

A class act, not to be matched

[@moorlock2003]

Love this lady! Her one-woman show was fabulous!

[@saminnyc]

Her comedic timing is just amazing

[@odette7able]

i am sad :( i had wanted to meet her in person. Maybe in the other world...

[@danthaler7643]

I’ve watched this so many times. It’s brilliant. The joke itself, and of course Bea’s legendary timing and delivery. The audience is literally howling. 😂

[@CarbonEye]

I have tears in my eyes....I'll miss you her so much R.I.P.

[@devangelis]

Did anyone see Bea playing Carrie in the parody of Sex and the City where all the girls are old but still dress the same? BRILIANCE! Bea would do ANYTHING for a laugh; that was my favorite thing about her.

[@lordqq]

Sondheim could have rhymed it...never fails to crack me up! I miss Bea!

[@cscottzimnamaste]

Bea. A true blue trouper. Talent like no other.

[@williebeaver9848]

Bea is one of the Greats. RIP.

[@TheMikester307]

"Don't ever offend her/Remember her gender..." Wonderful!

[@desertrose1226]

Bea looked so elegant here. I love her shy smile and her grace…I love every one of those Golden Girls! My fave has to be Estelle but they all make me smile.

[@silversleep731]

Fantastic! Just as magical as in the film.

[@masajebueno2]

she is unique...thanks for existing Bea...regards from barcelona

[@715musicman]

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

I love it when a performer takes over the applause for someone else.

[@Elphabawicked]

RIP Bea! there will never be another one like her.

Sondheim could have rhymed it. Priceless.

Every day I miss this amazing woman.....

[@Zedwoman]

I always loved her.

[@MattAttack54]

RIP Bea you will alaways be loved for Generations to come . I miss her so much She was a true Gem.

[@gavone1980]

I watch that god awful movie version for one singular reason and that reason is Bea Arthur. They refused to cast Angela as Mame because they insisted she wasn't a big enough star to draw people in, so they got Lucy & she simply could not carry the character (or a tune) and it ruined the film. Bea manages to shine, though & she steals every scene she is in. She steals EVERY scene in anything she's in. I can't take my eyes off her. She was my absolute favorite Golden Girl & Maude was literally a huge role model for me back in the day. What I wouldn't give for her height & her presence & her commanding voice. Alas, I'm just a 5'3" jittery soprano.

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

Bea got a Golden Globe nomination for MAME.

[@divapowers00]

She’s is AMAZING in Mame. I also think that she’d have been absolutely perfect for the Mae West role in Myra Breckinridge.

[@malkline2446]

Hey Bea herself once said she wished she were 5 '2

[@desertrose1226]

@@malkline2446 aww.. she was great just the way she was!

[@Cameo477]

Tank you for this nice video. Bea was a great actress in the golden girl's , but also a very talented signer! But, where's the rest of this show??

[@scott12061972]

Wow only Bea could be Vera. Only Bea could put such personality to this awesome role

[@tkool74]

thank you for being a friend Bea.

[@barbaraeggleston6858]

Rip Golden gril fly high with the angels

[@AngelofMusic04]

@scott12061972 And Bea was the only reason, at least in my opinion, the film version of Mame was tolerable.

[@georgeadelman3767]

"Sondheim could have rhymed it" is a great line, but now that I think about it, the name "Mame" is never rhymed in any of the songs, so the show really could have been about Vera.

[@Victor1930]

+George Adelman From the title song, George, "You make that (something I can't remember) blossom at the mention of your NAME." And "(something-something-something I can't remember either) will never be the SAME." The rhymes are there, but it's an usual rhyming pattern with longer intervals between the rhymes than in most songs.

[@jmkupihea7630]

You make that bougainvillea turn purple at the mention of your name

[@tmacattacker]

Sasparilla!

[@Brandon3T]

Anyone know what year this was?

[@yentl50]

I think I saw this at the Hollywood Bowl years ago. She's an icon.

[@nickyoung630]

I love the part in the movie where she yells “the man on the moon is a BITCH!!!”

[@CaliCaliente00]

People like her should never die...D:

[@MichaelCH2007]

R.I.P Bea. A great loss.

[@weremyjiggins89]

Bea Arthur was a true performer and had a great intelligence when it comes to singing. She interprets the song, as singers should, instead of trying to do vocal acrobatics or hitting the highest notes just because. She never had a big range but you don't need one if your voice and performance serve the piece and not the ego.
