[@jonathanl9229]

jean safiera yep! Betty White was originally asked to read for blanches part but they asked her to switch with Rue and Rue did such an amazing job during the reading- she got the part.

[@alwaysblake148]

Rue McClanahan's Blanche is comedy perfection. But then again, all four ladies were without peer. Still hilarious after all these years. Can't name another show from the past that is still wildly popular in the present.

Sometimes you get yourself a really good-looking salesman and you try to pretend you don't notice his hands caressing your calf as he tries to keep his mind on shoes, but all the time he's thinking, "Dare I peek? "Dare I look more? "Dare I look where no eyes have looked before?" And then, as he kneels there before you, little beads of perspiration breakin' out on his forehead, his breath comin' shorter and quicker, he ever so gently slips the supple leather on your quivering foot, and you achieve a perfect fit. Come on, old woman, we need shoes now!

lol. what took you so long ;-)

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

Spark TV, like Dorothy explained, an orator is a public speaker, but Blanche thought it had something to do with oral sex (both words are derived from the Latin 'oralis'), hence Blanche assuring Dorothy that two of the commissioners would vouch for her being a wonderful orator. XD

She was referring to the fact that she gave the two men oral sex at some point, at least that's what we're lead to believe.

What about when Rose was telling her "Best Sex Ever" story, which involved poor Charlie dying of heart failure in the middle of it. When Blanche asked her if that was really the best sex she ever had, Rose responded: "Yes! Though I did think it was strange when he started shouting, 'Rose, I'm going! I'm going!'" XD

Blanche's southern accent is the best in season 1. By the time season 7 came around her accent was not as strong as it was in season 1, her accent became softer and not strong enough. But, I love The Golden Girls very much. People who live in the state of Georgia really do have strong southern accents. Our governor in the state of Georgia really has a strong southern accent.
