Betty White Talks About "Golden Girls" Costumes from Rue McClanahan's Estate

Michael J La Rue speaks with Betty White about items up for auction in the late Rue McClanahan's estate. Available exclusively via NextMagazine.com

[@shawngilliland243]

That Rue McClanahan saved everything Betty sent her, and all her dresses from the show - that is SO lovely!

[@carebears8539]

Was that nice of rue McClanahan.Save items that Betty White gave her .

[@growlerfrown487]

Fun time of her life

[@jazzinikki01]

Awwww

[@diarakimbella2023]

Even crazier she had to bury her friends.

[@MashaT22]

There was a clause in Rue’s contract that required all of her wardrobe and props from the show go to her personal collection. They all had some interesting contract clauses. Bea Arthur had to be allowed to walk around the set barefoot except where absolutely necessary because she hated wearing shoes THAT much. Some of this memorabilia was given to a friend of hers who opened a coffee shop themed after the show in NY - and he dissolved it there. It was way up in Washington Heights at the top of Manhattan. I hope it survived the pandemic. I’d have to ask my brother who works nearby and spoke to the friend of Rue who was around during construction - the guy was so excited and very friendly when he noticed my brother reading a note on the door about the place that was set to open maybe 5 years ago.

I got to meet Betty White at an airport (im an airline employee), and was able to chat with her privately for about 15 minutes. In person she is just as you see on tv....Funny, classy and sharp...What an amazing woman! Her passion for animals is so real. I mentioned when i was in high school my family made me take our beloved dog in to put down due to hear bad health and i almost put Betty in tears...I'll never forget my honorable time with her.

I always LOVED Rue's outfits on the show. Especially the beautiful night gowns, like they were designed especially for her and her character. And whenever she was moving it was like she was gliding through the scene, so elegant and beautiful. No one could have been Blanche except for her, I'm sure of this.

[@babyhandgrenade4004]

It's so strange to think Betty White's the last Golden Girl, I'm privileged to have been born in 1991 when the series was still going on and grew up when all four of them were still alive. It's so strange being 25 and only one remains, let's hope Betty lives till 100 and beyond and remains as healthy as ever. Such a beautiful woman inside and out

[@Sabbathissaturday]

[@savannahjohnson633]

I know! I was born in 1989. And me and my parents watched golden girls every single night before bed when i was little. Its really the most special time i remember with them. Its a special show. The chemistry between the 4 of them was once in a life time. It was so special. Their characters were perfectly cast. Estelle died in 2008, bea arthur is 2009, and rue in 2010 if i am not mistaken.. We are so lucky to have betty still. Golden girls plays on tv still and i now share it with my 11yo daughter.

Oh they definitely were. While all the women on the show were friends & respected each other, Rue & Betty were closer, & Bea & Estelle were closer. However, Rue & Betty remained close friends for many years even after the show ended, up until Rue’s death. You can tell that Betty is definitely sad about her passing.

[@lacecocoa6272]

@@toxicperson8936 they all stay friends until their deaths the only two people that really didn't get along too well was Beatrice and Betty for some reason they just didn't click that personalities. Rue was the glue that kept everybody together because she had worked with the other three women on different programs prior to Golden Girls so she knew each of them before they knew each other. So she was cool with Beatrice and when Beatrice died she was also invited to her funeral unlike Betty but they were still all good friends they just had their ups and downs a x like any other friends but they made history anyway it goes because their show is timeless you can watch it till this day it's so funny and they broke barriers I know people that are white Asian black whatever that watch this show that loves their show so they will always be tied together through that show

I bought the CDs of that wonderful show too, I guess I probably have about half the 180 episodes that were filmed. I did watch it every day until just a few days ago, when the channel switched to another program. Funny thing, that Betty was the oldest of the Golden Girls and yet she's the only one alive now. Rue (Blanche) was much more intelligent and deeper than the part she was cast in, but she certainly did like men, I think she was married 6 times (probably her southern propriety required the license!). And Dorothy (Bea Arthur) was shy and sensitive, not brash like she was, shooting those dagger looks at Betty (Rose)! Proves only one thing, they were great actresses!

Betty has always been my favorite g-girl with her hilarious stories! I love Dorothy's character as well - she can give a look that required no words be spoken. I would say that Sophia probably had the best lines to deliver. However, for me, the funniest moment in the entire series is when Blanche decides to become a great Southern writer and after 3 days of no sleep, wanders in the kitchen looking like she hasn't slept in 3 days, laments her issues of having "writer's block" and lands on the kitchen island where Rose has separated egg whites from the yolks. Her reaction when she sees about a dozen yolks all together in one baggie is simply HILARIOUS!! She just can't make out what she's seeing. One of the best comedy moments that has me howling every time!

[@robert3302]

Yes. That was an amazing performance. It was quite long, and she delivered every line flawlessly, acting like she was so tired, she became delirious. It was Rue's greatest moment in the show, I thought.

I can't remember which actress it was, but she was being interviewed by a young person, like this guy, and he was treated her like she was retarded. The actress tried to gloss over what he was doing and act normally, but he started treating her worse, she finally had enough, told him where he could go and what to do to himself when he got there, and stalked off..it is so insulting to treat any older person like that, and to do so to a famous talent during an interview that will be televised is just disgusting.

DIETRICHCICCONE Like Rose talked to her mom on that episode of golden girls lol. They were talking loud to her like she was deaf as well. Now this guy. Like dude Betty is not a baby smh.

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

@@cynthiaesquibel3191 Well, MANY of those reporters and interviewers are little less than morons, so it stands to reason that they behave like they do! All they're interested in are ratings and their motto is "if it bleeds, it leads" which is why we see so much blood and gore and crime and murder on TV today. It isn't wanted nor appreciated, but they're too dumb to realize that! I saw Lesley Stahl interview Trump the other night on 60 minutes and her whole goal was to find out something titillating, but he stood up to her very well. Shame really, what goes on today to make and report news!

[@cynthiaesquibel3191]

M.J.Leger, you are so right. Too many interviewers are only after controversy and sensationalism..and if none is there, they do their best to create it! What ever happened to the desire to report the facts?

[@JasmineSurrealVideos]

I'm 43 and I get that from certain people, it's just a certain aesthetic and vibe you portray. They talk baby like and condescending.

[@SarahJane-sr6id]

Im crying long tears now!!! Those were wonderful times watching these GOLDEN GIRLS!!!! MY MOM LOVED THEM AND MY SISTER MARINA AND I USED TO WATCH WITH HER!!!! ITS SAD THAT TIME HAS TO WALK ON!!! I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THEM BACK!!! THANKS *GOLDEN GIRLS* FOR THESE TIMES AND MEMORIES!!!! Love to you all who entertain us!!! 💕❤💗💖💟💝💖💗❤💕

[@JustJay1281]

Don't think many realized the friendship Betty and Rue had or just how many times those two worked together. They both respected and loved each other, and I think that is part of the reason they worked so well together. I know Betty regularly makes the comment she was the oldest Golden Girl yet she is the only one left.

[@flwrfan1752]

The men of Blanche’s boudoir actually had pics of the men of the crew that they put together themselves.I seen that in a documentary of the show.

I can't believe Betty White is 95. She's still beautiful, spry and I love her. My mom would be 96 if she was still living.

Betty never aged, I love that she always had a positive attitude and beautiful smile. She will be missed...May she RIP.

Betty white is adorable..i still watch the golden girls .I admired them all.

[@chrispaw1]

But she hardly got a word in edgeways? Shut up and let her speak Mr......she's the one we wanna hear after all.

[@danielcocuzza6400]

He is trying to get her emotional and is disappointed because she's not giving him the response he's expecting. She obviously doesn't have the attachment and sentiments to the things he believes she should care so much about and it's killing him.

[@MaleOrderBride]

@@danielcocuzza6400 exactly! This superfan guy is bizarre...bordering on deranged! Why would Betty White care about another character's props?! Maybe if Betty White was a limited actress whose only big break was Golden Girls...it would mean alot. But Betty White has starred in a MANY other successful long-running sitcoms. This TV show is a blip on her extensive career...and probably not something she sits and obsesses over still...as she is still working in many other projects! This superfan guy is stuck in the past...

[@SandraLovesRoses]

@@danielcocuzza6400 naw he is showing her things that they found in her estate that pertains to her and trying to fit it all in a certain amount of time. As evidenced to it being cut off. He was merely being a proper host to her.

Isn't it sad how a person saves every little thing and in the end it's all left behind for others to go through... Betty is the last remaining GG, hope she stays hanging on to complete her century.

[@gerardinecizmar]

It is sad. I didn't even feel right going through my mother's things when she passed.

[@stupidfreak3183]

About that.

[@stevenalexander4721]

@@gerardinecizmar My mom passed away 2 years ago in 2020 and I've placed all the clothes she had in the chest of drawers that my grandparents gave to her when she was pregnant with me in 2 plastic containers. I've also wrapped up her 2 coffee mugs, so they don't break. Most of her shirts, we gave to my aunt, and she turned them into 2 giant teddy bears for my niece and nephew, three pillows for me, my brother and dad along with some Christmas tree ornaments so that we always have them.

[@Sweetlyfe]

@@stevenalexander4721 it’s hard to lose your Mum & Dad, I’m sorry. Mine went 25yrs ago at 61, it took me a year to pack her stuff up, and my Sister and I had a garage sale for most of her clothes, actually my Sister packed up Mum’s stuff without me and she gave me a box of junk, although Mum left me a set of English China, though my Sister being he eldest got the Royal Dalton. But I don’t care about the valuable stuff, when I use those plates on special occasions I think of her. How lovely of your Aunty to make teddies for the kid’s and cushions for the rest of you, a beautiful thing to have. Take care grief is hard and ebbs and flows.

[@mspivey3376]

As I watch my dad aging I realize he can't use most of the stuff he found valuable. Memories make the tangible things matter.

[@thesingngchubbs97oapqueen85]

I absolutely adore Betty White. Who doesn't? I just don't understand why this idiot is talking down to her like she is an ignorant two year old. Being a huge fan of Ms White and The Golden Girls, I really enjoyed this clip. Long liv Betty White!!!

Rue wisely had negotiated it in her contract that she got to keep all of the clothing designed for her character on the show,,,, I always thought that was so clever

This was such a sweet video. I loved these women! I was young when Mama’s Family and the Golden Girls were on the air! I wanted to be very much like both of them when I got to be their age. This made me smile, giggle and tear up all at the same time. It shows they had a respect and love for each other in their friendship! ❤️

Such an amazing show. ... What a beautiful video you can feel Betty's love and adoration for Rue.

Rue's character wore some of the most beautiful clothes, but two of my favorites are the suit that Dorothy "accidentally" ruined and the orange suit she wore to the bachelorette auction. Both of them will always stick out in my mind.
