@@fishfish2128 I don't think i'd have called her a cunt.. but she's not far off. If you read up on some of the things she did/said during the golden girls and other shows shes been on. You'd see it was more than simply not wanting a wax work. :)

[@donaldperez7981]

What I liked about Betty White, other than that she was loved, and respected at all, was the fact that she really truly didn't get annoying; as if to say: okay, it's time to hang it up. "We the public" never got tired of her. The more we saw her, the more he wanted to see her. May she and your dearly Departed rest in peace. 🙏

Wait, but can't someone digitally or through sculpture make a younger Betty White figure? I'm pretty sure at this rate in the future you'll be able to have a Betty White android nanny if you want lol. That's both great and insane all at the same time.

They take actual measurements of the person. Supposedly, it's a very time consuming process. I would guess that such details can't be taken from from photos or videos.

Looks nothing like her. She was very beautiful. Never been a fan of Madame Tussaud's. But this gracious lady, she always appreciated everything. ❤

[@puppiesrlife]

If they're going to go out of their way to make people out of wax and claim it's them, they need to get it RIGHT. If she was anyone else she probably would have complained about it, and had every right to, but she didn't. Wouldn't have blamed her if she did and too bad no one else stopped it before revealing. People astound me, and not always for the best.

[@Thunderstorm63]

Yes, how could they get the nose so wrong? Come on now!

[@penelopepitstop762]

First thing I noticed. They gave her a witch nose!

[@puppiesrlife]

That was definitely off-putting. I hope she knew that that wasn't what she actually looked like. Not only did the artist drop the ball but others saw that and approved? Wtf

[@4seeableTV]

Toussaud's usually does the best work. But this one just seems a little off. The nose doesn't look right.

[@AJ-wd5xc]

Amazing likeness

[@eepruls]

They did not do a very good job on that statue. It doesn't look like Betty at all. The nose is all wrong.

[@Rodshark75]

Yeah the nose is too pointy and the space between the bottom of the nose and the upper lip is waaaaay too short. Makes her look more like a witch

[@brad349miller]

they did a wonderful job,

[@penelopepitstop762]

Yeah they gave her a witch nose!

[@Buttercup82]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@jemohseni]

I love you Betty!!!

[@puppiesrlife]

But...why did they make her nose so big? Everything seems ok but the nose rendition ruins it. Hope she didn't think her nose was actually like that and realized that the artist just got it wrong. I'm always self-conscious about my nose so if someone made me in some other kind of medium and made my nose bigger in it, I know I'd be upset lol.

[@Satrina777]

Bea had many idiosyncrasies and was generally a neurotic, eccentric person, as many great talents are, BUT she had every right to not want her face or body immortalized as Dorothy Zbornak.. A character who was made fun of over her physical appearance in almost every episode, which Bea felt was a reflection of how others viewed her in turn. She even had a clause written into her contract for latter seasons, that she be styled differently so as to not appear as a homely spinster all the time. Of course, that exact wording may not have been used, but that was essentially the gist. They changed her hair and makeup, outfits, etc to make her look more attractive from season 4 onward. There were other clauses in the contract like, being permitted to not wear shoes or at most, very thin sandals or flip flops whenever she pleased while filming. You can see this in many episodes lol. I digress, she felt semi traumatized by the constant jabs at her appearance, but being a professional actress, you could never tell she was bothered on screen. It doesn't surprise me why she wouldn't want a life size wax figure of herself dressed as a much less glamorous and homely Dorothy Zbornak.. Bea was humble, but she had style, taste, and was actually fairly attractive, albeit unconventionally, when off set. Shame on Madame Tussauds really, for not offering Bea her own figure ages prior to Golden Girls..

[@1683clifton]

I'll never forget her. My gra!s too 1920-2020

[@ungratefulbastard3816]

Now that's what happened if Betty took plastic surgery. You look gracefully beautiful as you are now, Betty. Even if you grow much older than your wax figure, I will always prefer the real you. :)

[@faznout]

I guess there were alot of things Bea Arthur didn't want to do. One of them was continuing to work on The Golden Girls which ended because of that and it didn't have to. Oh well to late now.

[@Rodshark75]

It was beginning to get formulaic. Better it ended while it was still beloved and not die a slow death, that would have been tragic. And it's spin off Empty Nest was a good sitcom, Golden Palace? Eh not so much.

@@jeromechandler2626 Ummm… I totally agree with the OP. The wax figure looks more like Mrs. Doubtfire than Betty White.

@@jeromechandler2626 Wow overreact much? Someone doesn't think a wax statue looks like the real person so they must be on drugs? That's a huge stretch. Maybe a projection? I'd wonder if you weren't the artist defending yourself in some weird demented way lol. OP is right. If you think that looks exactly like her I'd question your eyes at least. It looks like it could be her sister maybe but not exactly like her. The nose is really off-putting to say the least and honestly I feel bad that she had to see that and think that's what people see her as. Hope she knew it was just that artist's rendering and that wasn't really what she looked like. They need to not only get better artists but they need to have the draft and finished product go through several people for approval. They can do better.

I've seen Bea Arthur's heaven, she's been living in a house exactly like the one in The Golden Girls set. All the things they say about her is true she is a kind and warm person. She said welcome when I sneaked in as if she haven't have a visitor in years. I was so overwhelmed by her hospitality I could really feel it that I said "can I take a rain check?" she understood right away that I'm just curious then I went away. Maybe she just values her personal privacy so much when she was alive.

I just happen to be there in that moment not in a near death experience though. Most prefer/want their privacy even in heaven but if they want to reach out to their love ones they will find a way. With Bea, I'm sure she wants to let anyone know that. My story? Perhaps way out more in the future because my story is just beginning.
