i am 44 and watch golden girls on tv and have the whole dvd set as well. i love it. it's one of my favorite shows. i wish 3 or 4 ladies could really live like that harmoniously together and support each other emotionally and financially in real life without society making a big deal about it. i think it's no body's business but their own if they want to live together. everyone needs someone in life.

Bea didn't hate Betty. She got annoyed at her constant perky attitude. They regularly car shared to the studio and lunched together most days. If Betty wasn't available for lunch Bea would be upset as she did enjoy their time together. They were very different people but were not as distant as people try to make out.

[@deninevh]

In interviews, though, Betty has said Bea did not care for her.

[@deshaunx776]

Thank you for saying this so I didn’t have to! Bea & Betty were indeed friends.

[@deshaunx776]

@@deninevh Betty was being self-deprecating in the interview where she said Bea wasn’t very fond of her. Bea didn’t kiss ass, and she didn’t suck up to Betty like many others did. However, they spent plenty of time together and even Bea’s sons mentioned the bond shared by their mom and Betty. Just because someone gets on your nerves doesn’t mean you dislike them.

[@carolb550]

Thank you for saying this. This video makes it sound as if Bea Arthur was a horrible person, and she wasn't. She just had a more reserved personality.

[@deninevh]

One more thing---watch the Lifetime {I think it's Lifetime?} shows about the women separately. Each woman is on each other's show, talking about that person---except, quite obviously, Bea is not on Betty's. The other two from GG are, but not Bea, and Bea was on Rue's and Esther's. That's pretty telling to me.

[@MickeyCreole]

The Golden Girls should never be rebooted, the show deserve to be respected as the four original actresses made the show the awesome phenomenal that it was. The show definitely played its part in feminism and being a strong woman wasn’t a negative thing. I believe The Golden Girls was a breakthrough and led the way for such shows as Sex and the City, Desperate Housewives etc. The Golden Girls was probably a first of it kind where women could have their own opinions, and express themselves without taking cue from a man, for an example, AIDS was something negative back in the early 1980s, most of the negative propaganda were coming from straight men, but The Golden Girls as well as Princess Diana, they brought AIDS to the public with humility and understanding. The Golden Girls was ahead of its time, and they made it ok to have a giggle even during tough time and the show made you think. Most of all, they made it ok to feel sexy and you can still be sexual in later years. Before The Golden Girls, people of middle aged thought after 50 you had to dress down and behave in a low-key way appropriate to your advancing age, but the show turned that on its head and basically made it ok to grow old disgracefully. In my view, it will be very wrong to reboot The Golden Girls without its original casts, and as the incredible Betty White is sadly the only remaining cast member to be alive today, The Golden Girls should be allowed to be left alone and rest in blissful peace

I thank you for that comment. This was a one-shot piece of brilliant chemistry from start to finish, and we were lucky to watch the show at all. It addressed divorce, same-sex attraction, feminism, chauvinism, ageism, class divides, generational differences, and so much more while being relevant to the current time. The lessons this show provided are relevant even now, in 2021, which is very telling.

[@xendava9360]

It's the writing. This is hands down one of the most well written sitcoms of all time. All of the primary actresses on this show were masters of delivery. But it was the lines they delivered that made this show so enjoyable and entertaining.

[@deepattison9329]

The writing was unparalleled to be sure but those women delivered the lines in a believable manner. I loved the show.

[@robsemail]

You can’t overstate how good the writing and the acting were, but the show was also a triumph for the set designers and camera operators and makeup artists. In addition, if I remember correctly, this show was one of the early sitcoms to be recorded in stereo, which added a new layer of complexity to the work of the sound technicians. A lot of creative people were at the top of their games in creating this show.

This is not true. I worked on the set and Bea and Betty were good friends. They would go out to lunch together and go shopping. They were two different types. Bea was quiet and more serious and Betty was more outgoing and happy. But they definitely did not despise each other. Betty has said in interviews how much she admired Bea.

[@SluttChops]

lmfao. You worked on the set in your mind. Betty White has said multiple times in multiple interviews that Bea Arthur disliked her. She even went into great detail about on Inside the Actors Studio with James Lipton. I have no idea why this seems to upset people.

I loved that show as a kid, and I love it now in my 40s. It is sad to think the four women were not best friends in real life like their characters were. I've read all sorts of rumors about Bea and Betty's relationship--but Bea has been dead over a decade. Why do people presume to read her mind and say how she really felt? Betty, to her great credit, seems to bear no grudge. The four actresses came together to make something that has endured over 35 years, and I'm grateful to each one of them for the laughs they've given me. May the three who have left us rest in peace. May Betty live to be 150! Edit: Back in January 2022. 🙁♥️

@Jessica Leigh interesting info on the study. RFK's widow, now 93, famously gave birth a whopping 11 times. She is giving her 88 year old sister, who gave birth twice, a run for her money. Their older sisters had six and eight children, each, and have been deceased since 1983 and 2000, respectively.

Golden Girls will go down as a classic. Even after watching the same episodes over and over, I still laugh at the same scenes, same lines. I loved the mother/daughter scenes between Dorothy and Sophia. All four stars gave as good as they got, but they always, always had each other's back. That's what I loved about each of them. They were each a professional in her own right, bringing a variety of talents to the table. That magical combination makes for classic TV.

This IS some for real fiction. Bea did not "despise" Betty. Saying something like that is a cheap over-dramatization and attempt to get more views. The two women had very different personality types and simply didn't pal around together outside of work. That's all. The end.

[@honeyandlavender_]

I absolutely love how they made 4 elder women be so comfortable talking about sex and show confidence. There’s always been a stigma around elders who still have an active sex life. Not because “they care for their health”, but because it’s something that only the young ones should do. And they wanna keep them locked inside a house knitting and doing nothing all day long. Some of them don’t enjoy that kind of life and they want to continue exploring and adventuring and meeting others. And I love how they created these characters with these personalities.

[@SavingHistory]

It’s always about the “Fued” between Betty and Bea. But was it really a fued? Betty said she was not “Bea’s favorite person, but I’ve never heard language as harsh as “despised,” used. People who work together can’t all be each other’s favorites. And people with differing work ethics can still have lunch and get along on a personal level. They were two different people who were each moving the television industry forward in their own unique ways. Bea was trained on the stage whereas Betty spent almost the entirety of her life in front of a television studio-audience. And although I’m a big fan of Bea Arthur’s work, I get why Betty White got the first award. Rose was the complete opposite of Sue Ann Niven - Betty White reinvented her man-hungry stereotype from MTM. But Dorothy was still Maude, just like Amanda’s By the Sea was Maude doing Fawlty Towers. But at the end of the day, they were all phenomenal and, together, created a staple of American television which still grabs new audiences each year.

[@lauragem796]

I agree. Going from 'Sue Ann Niven' to 'Rose' was huge testament to the depth of Betty White's talent.

The Monkees gave us the friendships we wanted as kids. Friends gave us our 20 something friendship goals. The Golden Girls gave us our twilight years buddy dreams.

I worked for one of the alphabet stations in NYC and had the pleasure of meeting 3 of the 4 girls. Rue was just a very gracious woman who was full of laughs but she let you know when she was done and ready to move on, classy lady. Betty.... I can't tell you how nice it was to chat with her and share a few giggles about someone who was rude to everyone. Betty was willing to hang around after the group went their separate ways, sitting with a few of us nobodies and made us feel like we were the interesting parties. She asked several questions about our jobs, genuine inquisitive questions. She gave each one of us a hug and a peck on the cheek. Bea.... how do I put this... Bea was not friendly at all, rude sarcastic with answers, she didn't want to be bothered with any of it. All the people in attendance all graciously let us take pictures with them, but Bea, flung us off with a flip of the wrist is if the peasants were among her. (That's when Betty and Rue made a hilarious comment about Bea behind her back and Bea knew we were laughing at her), too bad lady! These are fond memories I will cherish forever.

thanks for sharing the information of one of the best television shows ever in American history. i never tire of watching the Golden girls on syndication on hallmark channel and tv land in Texas. unfortunately all four Golden girls have passed on with betty white leaving us on 12 31.2021, just days before her 100th birthday. we are truly blessed to still be able to see them in reruns for a new generation to enjoy. my niece who is 17 years old enjoys the show. being a cat person, i loved that sofia would call Dorothy pussycat. RIP all four golden girls. we'll all miss you.

Reminds me of the hot summers as a kid at my grandmas ... hilarious show and comforting.

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

With all due respect to her passing.. Bea Arthur and/or her characters, always grated me. She never seemed to try to endear herself to anyone. For me, she seemed like she was a curious mix of the persona's of Barbara Stanwick, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis.

[@catsoandahalf]

Without their talent....

[@maryarrington7307]

It seems Bea Arthur was the fly in the ointment for this show. She was the reason the show ended, and she was getting upset over Betty White's fun and playful attitude. Bea was once quoted saying Betty was childish. Ms. White was NOT childish! She was fun and positive; unlike Ms. Arthur. This was not the first show Ms. Arthur clashed on. It was just her personality. she was far too serious for comedy, IMHO. She would never have done SNL, or any of the hilarious movies Ms. White did! I miss Betty so much, nd her happy, funny, joyous spirit! I am happy, though, that she is with her husband again, and probably making the angels laugh!

[@garypaquin9571]

Some people are incapable of feeling joy and being at peace with themselves. Bea Arthur may have been one of these types. They do bring the mood down whether as a friend, relative or co-worker. They are also impossible to help and will suck you dry trying to improve their mood and lives.

[@kateelderson]

Thank you Susan Harris for creating a wonderful, funny ensemble series that is still funny today. And the clothes were good too!

MISS BETTY WHITE, MY FAVE GOLDEN GIRL. YOU ALWAYS PUTS A SMILE ON MY FACE. YOU ARE NOW A GOLDEN STAR, UP IN THE SKIES. R.I.P. 🙏

[@caroldry9262]

Love the Golden Girls. I’ve seen every episode. I watch them again. Sophia’s my favorite 💕

[@MrAlienmagnet]

This video is just a gossip piece. They took a few minor facts and made a whole blown up issue and added a bunch of untruths. I believe actual interviews from the cast that are posted on KZbin over this video here. There is a video posted of when Bea passed away that has Betty stating that she and Bea had spoken a few weeks before and that Betty knew Bea was ill but not as and severe as it turned out. So if they were "feuding", why did they speak?

[@Vocals4days]

@BeebsBonanza she also said they were very close. Do your research instead of running with one clip.

[@stevegrice773]

For me it’s that period of time, late eighties early nineties. Miss those days. Wife and I watch it every night.

[@scottweeks6379]

I have such good memories of watching the show in the last 1980's when it was originally in syndication. Saturday evening couldn't have been any better!

[@shadesalans4977]

Bea rarely ever did anything with the other actresses after the end of the Golden Girls. She did do two episodes on Golden Palace. That was about it. I thought Betty & Rue were better together in their scenes and Bea was better with Estelle.

[@betsybabf748]

It's a shame Bea was so miserable, but there is reason Betty was so beloved by the world. Imagine being upset someone was happy and shared joy with others? That's just very sad.

[@marloncervantes2512]

More than ever this series has really pulled me out of some serious funks. Never disappoints.

[@stephanieyee9784]

I loved The Golden Girls when they were on television. I now watch it on STAN and still love it.

[@gazXspace]

The answer is - Bea didnt despise Betty White.

[@Good-Enough24]

I love The Golden Girl’s, they are so funny and now they have been reunited. ❤️

[@beccadis2823]

I Love them all and watched from day one in the 80's. I am now 53 as of Jan 4th and Still watch them in reruns.

[@ecrivin]

i loved your synopsis of one of my favorite shows of all time...I learned things i never new before like the house shots and of Bea's character in relation to the rest of the cast. Thank you...

[@paulatristan8189]

Rest in peace Betty White🙏🙌💕🕯🕊 I just seen an old interview that had Betty White as guest on the Joy Behr talk show. Joy said to Betty " Bea Arthur didnt care for you to much did she". Betty said no she didn't, Betty white said I don't know why. I think Betty might have known why, all of the Golden Girls are at peace now and reunited with each other where they will all get along and love each other. I'll say this - watching the Golden Girl's helped me through some dark times in my life. The Golden Girls gave me laughter, love, friendship and Tear's in every episode until the end. I'm buying the box set. I love you Blanche, Rose, (Ma Sophia) and Dorothy rest in peace girl's🙏🙌🕯🕊💕🤗

Bea Arthur did not despise Betty White.

[@RobertJonesWightpaint]

I'm perfectly sure she did not, at all - 'despise' is a strong word, and the wrong one. I don't know why people need to sensationalize things like this ..... Bea Arthur was a professional actor, respected on both sides of the Atlantic and doubtless beyond, and I'm sure she respected the professional actor Betty White; now and then she might have been irritated by Ms White's positivity - but we're entitled to get a little annoyed now and then by the people with whom we work, even if we respect them hugely. White, Arthur, McClanahan and Getty raised their humour to the level of an art form - few can do that, and we don't need to descend to this level of personal intrusiveness: why do people do it? For the headline? As clickbait? It's demeaning.

[@darkb4light06]

Plainly put, despise is a strong word. Bea didn't like Betty. Betty herself has said that a lot.

[@scooterdover2771]

@@darkb4light06 Very true, and I know when Bea announced she was quitting; the other 3 were mad. They had a hit show, making good money, and felt like it was their last chance at their ages. Bea thought she would go back to Broadway and be a big hit. She never admitted it, but I think later she regretted closing everything down.

[@bahma810]

@@RobertJonesWightpaint Agreed. And poor Bea is not around. This is sheer character assassination

[@c.swinford8283]

@Josh agreed. a lot of sitcoms run themselves into the ground. I think she made a wise choice.

[@corallewis3093]

I will never get tired of watching the Golden Girls!

[@desertrose1226]

Just as the world will never see sweetness like Betty White ever again .. the world will never see again the unique sense of humour that Bea Arthur brought to us…absolute gems both of them. 🤍♥️

[@skye_arran]

Despise is a strong word I don't think Bea hated Betty at all. You have taken gossip and it's just clickbait which is a shame because you do have some other interesting information in the video

[@Alusnovalotus]

It was a progressive show, for its time. A step forward at least.

[@larryc4156]

There will never be another show like this. The writing and cast and comedic timing were spot on perfect and the characters relatable and loveable. It’s amazing how more than 30 years later, this show is as popular and adored as ever.

[@Wydeedo]

26, still watching the Golden Girls after all these years ❤️

[@MulToyVerse]

Weird that Betty White was the oldest and also has outlived her costars. I thought the house exterior was at the Disney/MGM Studios in Florida.

[@patricksaxon3983]

99 years old and still kicking.

[@marianne1194]

I saw the house when I was on a tour while at Disney World with my daughter when she was a kid. Its definitely in Florida so I have no idea what their talking about.

What a crap and click bait title. She didn’t hate Betty, she just got wound up by her up beat attitude. They were actually mates.
