I really enjoyed Lucy’s face when they announced Bea Arthur..... you can see that she said with excitement “oh, Bea.....”. You could see that she was genuinely surprised and happy. No more quality and character like this..... definitely sadly a thing of the past.
Lucy looks genuinely thrilled here. A classy lady enjoying the performance of three other classy ladies. RIP Lucille Ball, Valerie Harper and Beatrice Arthur.
@@emilywerner3930 Both Lucille and Bea were known to be very difficult people. That was not said in admiration, or in a funny way. No doubt they were battling each other at the time. I swear…some of you are such polyannas about celebrities.
Randy Thompson I am sure it could have been in the works, but correct me if I am wrong, towards the end of her life, didn’t Bea kind of purposely limit her public appearances and become more of an introvert? Maybe she didn’t feel comfortable having all the fanfare. I find it interesting in reading biographies about her that she was actually kind of naturally shy despite having a love for the stage and singing. I think the end of the GG series, Estelle, on the other hand, really went into depression which caused a rapid decline in her physical and mental health. I think one of the things that many actors should be taught in performing arts programs is coping with the end of an era or excellent run; classics just can’t last forever and if you prolong a series after it starts a plateau, it can diminish it a little bit. I remember I was super sad as a kid when Bea wanted to end the show, I totally respect her decision now. She practically played the similar characters in her roles as Maude and Dorothy, a confident, sarcastic, progressive woman with a strong opinions.
@@ARZ1987 Actually, Estelle Getty's health began deteriorating while doing GG. If you watch, you can tell she's using cue cards during the final season. They thought she had Parkinson's at first, but it was actually a form of dementia that attacks the body, too. I don't know about Bea's life towards the end, but if she was a shy person, then being in theater makes sense - because in acting, you are someone else. You aren't you, so she could hide behind Maude and Dorothy and Vera Charles and bring out what was inside her.
I dont think i want to say that anymore; I don't think Spirits need or want to rest. I think we should say enjoy your self, hang out with the family members that have gone before you, reflect on your life but not resting, that is a bodily issue.
@@lorimiller4301 Well that's a start at least, a different mindset. Humankind will never accept that one's final cessation is The End. One doesn't exist at all following their demise. There's absolutely no resting in peace...lol. That belief stems from religion, purgatory.
Wow. 🤦♀️ Lucy delt with SO, SO much crap from business men to to husband and more and she dealt with it with class all the way. So kind of an ass thing to say. Let's just say they All were awesome, talented, classy ladies.
The amount of talent in this clip is astounding. Not just the ladies on stage but the people seated with Lucy as well! RIP 💜 heaven sure is lucky to have ya!!
Yes, that was a pleasant surprise! Was wondering if she had had some connection to Lucy in regards to her inclusion, but I guess they were going for ladies who were head lining their own TV comedies at the time (and who could sing).
Boy, the older I get . . . This brought tears to my eyes. As a kid I took all of these talented people for granted. They were simply the adults on tv. Now, looking back, I realize that they are the touchstones which spark memories of childhood and family. It’s a beautiful thing.
I miss Bea! She had such a presence and a firecracker. Im thinking of her part in history of the world as the roman unemployment woman telling comicus off. Lol. Ahhh. Bea has always been my spirit animal and forever a fav.
Just a musical reminder that any woman who worked in a sitcom in the eighties, or the 60's or 70's or the 90's or the new century has a debt to pay Lucy. She showed everyone producing and directing in the new media, that a woman could be the star in a sitcom, keep it funny, keep it profitable and keep it fresh. She did not just do it once either, she did it three times. But for Lucy, these women and countless others might not have been given the license and freedom to star in theirs. They all stand on her shoulders.
Always and forever will the the First Lady of Comedy. Lucille Ball will always bring a smile on my face! I intend to show my future kids the glory of Lucille Ball and others alike!
Such amazing women! It’s sad that we all have to die. I grew up seeing these lovely women on television, on some iconic television shows, making history. Of all of these ladies, Bea Arthur is my favorite. She was tall and beautiful. She had such talent, making me laugh so many times. Anyway, thanks for taking me down memory lane with this performance! Thanks for the video!
I was on The Hogan Family's last episode when it was still "Valerie" just before the big lawsuit with Lorimar Pictures Television. They ran my episode as the second in the season of "The Hogan Family" and re-shot Valerie's scenes with Sandy Duncan.. Pretty scandalous!!I definately miss Miss Valerie Harper!!
My mother passed away that same year, 1986, and I don't have any video clips to remember her face or her voice... She just turned 40 years old, they just were neglected at the hospital... And we too... Now, that's SAD, guys!
@@שירהאבןעזרא Tod'á!! I forgot that when I was a working as a Host at this Canadian Bar, here in Lima, the very frienly travelers from Israel told me to said so!! Seems like so long, now!!
Tere Ferrell Yeh I understand but that doesn’t mean he has to be at every major event. Just because he was a facet of the 80’s doesn’t mean he was an omnipresent figure in all media. The contemporary comparison would be “oh Trump is president so it would only make sense that he would be at the 2020 Oscars”, not only is that a strange assumption but it doesn’t make sense.
Wonderful! Comedic geniuses, classic ladies of tv, ...man, they just don't make them like this anymore! Lucille Ball was phenomenal! I'm so glad this wasn't one of those "posthumous" jobs! They all were alive to give her a wonderful tribute...and she was emotional! Great job! Wish they all were with us today!
Lucy's reaction with other amazing women/actresses singing to her is so cute! What a humble person Lucille Ball was! Today there are a lot of people that can learn a lot from Lucille Ball! Thank you so much for sharing! AMAZING video about an amazing woman and comedienne!
Bea Arthur deserved a Kennedy Center Honor too
Absolutely! She is a truly classy lady :). She makes me proud to be Jewish :)
I love how Bea casually saunters on stage like a boss lol.
I love how all three are professionally in rhythm together.
All while in flats to boot!
I really enjoyed Lucy’s face when they announced Bea Arthur..... you can see that she said with excitement “oh, Bea.....”. You could see that she was genuinely surprised and happy. No more quality and character like this..... definitely sadly a thing of the past.
Bea Arthur was a "Boss". She was a US Marine.
J B calling her a boss is not an insult. It’s pretty much saying she was owning the stage and her performance.
Lucy looks genuinely thrilled here. A classy lady enjoying the performance of three other classy ladies. RIP Lucille Ball, Valerie Harper and Beatrice Arthur.
You are so right!!!
Barbara- It's funny, I was just thinking -"Almost ALL of them are gone now!" Really SAD!!!!
@@libertygiveme1987 Pam Dawber survives. The Reagans, dead. Lucy, long gone. Ray too. Bea gone longer than Valerie.
That sums it up.
I miss seeing class on prime time television
@@painin2teeth That's exactly what's missing, and it's sad beyond words.
The look on Lucy's face when Bea is announced that is love and admiration
No…Lucy said, “Oh my God! That witch!” Read her lips.

We they were very happy playing best friend Vera and Mame...
@@scottnichols3685 i think you are right!
Valerie Harper is rocking that gorgeous purple dress...
Pam Dawber's dress is hideous
Lucille Balls reaction when he says bea arthurs name 😍
Is this show Lucy produced?
For those who don't know: Lucy and Bea Arthur starred together in the film version of the musical "Mame." They were great friends.
Also for those who don't know, Valerie Harper was a dancer in the musical " Wildcat" which Lucille Ball starred in the early 1960's
1:47 that, ladies and gentlemen, demonstrates what a legend Bea Arthur is. Belting it out.
I got instant goosebumps when she started that section!!
Boy! Can pussy cat sing. 🎶😂
@@catcauldron217 ???
@@eloiseockert9233Pussycat was Dorothy’s nickname her mother Sophia used in Golden Girls.
Pam's dress screams 1980's!😆
Well...it was 1986. 🤷🏻
I like her but hate the dress. Valerie’s dress was lovely though
True, so 80, and I love it. I love hair also, that piece in her hair was also so 80is
Best singing voice of the three.
Kat hie I thought hers did the least. Lol
Bea’s dress would be stunning on the red carpet of today. What a beautiful performance. Bea so unique and commanding presence on the stage
Love her!!
Bea Arthur. I love and miss her most. She deserved a tribute! A true class act!

Bea Arthur looks stunning 🖤
Oh Heck Yeah!
yeah she does even with that manly voice she is classy and sexy. they all look great and r very talented..
yes, Maude never looked better.
Rest In Peace, Valerie Harper.
Lucy and Bea, too!

All ladies on this stage are CLASSY !! Period !!!
@@Fedderchini YES

Bea was a force to be reckoned with the strutted on that stage like a boss
way back when Stars were stars on broadway..love all those women..especially Lucy..
They still often are on broadway actually.
Ray Charles sitting next to Lucy and Gary! So much talent in this video!
And....the Reagans!
Gary was in the row behind.
Pam and Valerie have great voices...added to Bea!
Lucy looked beside herself with joy like "Look who's come!"
I am really surprised how well Pam Dawber sings! Never knew that! Great number!
Never heard of her.
@@petel9711 Mork and Mindy.
Same. She has a beautiful voice!
I'm shocked at how well Pam sings! Wonderful clip. Thank you!!!!!!
Me too! Jaw dropped! She's good!🎙🎶
@@Cattt01 She used to do Tupperware commercials.
Cattt01 she probably had some theatrical background
Russell Candy Me too, Pam’s voice is amazing!
Was just thinking that.Wow, I have never heard her singing voice.
Bea Arthur is a true legend!
Alright! Already!
The amount of talent in this clip is astounding. Not just the ladies on stage but the people seated with Lucy as well! RIP 💜 heaven sure is lucky to have ya!!
It's sad to know that the majority of everyone we see on here has passed away.😢
Even Ronald and Nancy Reagan sitting next to her.
Wow, Pam Dawber can really sing. What a beautiful voice!

I am impressed on how good these ladies sound. Fantastic job Bea, Valerie and Pam
Rest In Peace, Bea Arthur, Lucille Ball and Valerie Harper. May God Bless Your Souls.
When everything was made with class and elegance good old days 👏👏👏👏
While Valerie looked gorgeous, singing wise... she kinda faded away. Bea dominated that number completely! Loved her!!!
Well Bea is a legend. Valerie is great and all, but legend she is not.
@@ytyt3922 In my opinion she is.
Bea stole the show alright!
I thought Val was very clumsy.
Bea really could do it all ❤
Superb lady!
I miss Bea! She had such a presence and a firecracker. Im thinking of her part in history of the world as the roman unemployment woman telling comicus off. Lol. Ahhh. Bea has always been my spirit animal and forever a fav.
She was a marine. Didnt know if you knew that.
Pam Dawber sounds really amazing. Like a well-trained professional singer!
What a tribute! I am crying from the love here.

one of the funniest woman of all time

Pam is the only one left. Loved “My Sister Sam”. And Valerie looks stunning in that dress
Just love Valerie Harper!
Pam Dawber and her Broadway sound. Best part of the show.
