Telll the day she died she always held that sparkle in her eyes😍. Bea, Rue and Estelle were all such wonderful women and made TV history. A favorite show for many even til this day. I even watch Golden Palace just because I loved the GG so much. I can quote everything they say in GGs. 😂
Even though she was almost 100 years old, when I saw the news of her passing, my heart just sank. She was definitely blessed to have been assigned to this earth for so long 🥰
In true Betty White fashion, she smoothly dodged the negative intent behind the question. Betty knows the truth about her relationship with Bea. Bea was (allegedly) oftentimes a B. Betty White for the win!🎉
@traceyjackson4470 i have a feeling it was more of a sisterly relationship. Bea was a little cantankerous, do the other three kind of got on Bea's nerves, but she truly liked the girls. Bea was on record defending Betty and Rue quite vigorously when people were spreading rumors.
Bea might have had issues with her behind the scenes, but she never talked bad about Betty publicly. There was respect even if there wasn't fondness. They had each other's back, whether they liked each other or not.
@KRIS-gr5hn She also played in other shows. Also, lĺ was one if I remember correctly. I was a kid, and it was not sometimes age appropriate. LoL. Anyway, Maude was another. I just mentioned the fact because I am also a female Marine Corps veteran and a fan. Once a Marine always a Marine. If you were to hang out with me, you'd get some of Ms. Bea attitude! She reminds me of myself, except I'm shorter and weigh more....blah blah. Get my drift? Anyway, I hope she is in heaven. Bet she cracking 🤣 them up! Then God saying I already knew the joke before you spoke it! The Golden Girls is/was a great show. They were all lovely ladies. Ttyl. Have a beautiful, awesome day! Semper Fi! May the Lord bless you even more! ♥️Peace and love to you, friend.
She's so smart, funny and witty. David Letterman is fully aware of her fast thinking fast talking as in not getting into a verbal fight!! Betty is just the Grand Dame of tv comedians!!
Betty White is and was an American treasure. A wonderful actress and a wonderful human being. America's sweetheart. RIP to the entire cast. Loved by all. 🤗❤
Betty was such a great lady, I've never heard a bad thing about her, unless it was a roast type of joke. Every one of the 4 Golden Girls were talented, inspirational women. I grew up watching them. ❤
Betty was a regular on so many shows in the 70's it is amazing. She has commented before, that Bea found her irritating because Betty always arrived to work with a smile. LOL
I was wailing the unfairness of it to my family just the other day... That if I died a few months from the big one-zero-zero like that, the grim reaper's gonna get a merciless merkin'. Death is an insulting kinda guy sometimes.
Nice of Dave to tee up a few cracks about Bea Arthur. I have heard she actually was rather unpleasant to work with and was especially hard on Betty White
@@Lucylou7070 many of these shows were directed by a Canadian comedian named David Steinberg. Somewhere there is a tape of him saying people hate Bea when they first meet her because " it just saves time"
What a wonderful way of complementing your opponent. Areal good tag team makes a great show. Media always trying to play you up against others. It’s great to see how to interact wisely.
About Bea Arthur, in the first moment her voice is telling the actual true. Them, her voice changed and does the stoogie shenanigans acting praising her team
God bless you, Betty White for all the beautiful memories and the golden girls of course! You are a spark and gave the world so much great talent and may you always shine, as I know you will, in God’s hands❤
As a musician, I've got to say that she's absolutely right about working with pros. You can throw anything at them and they deliver, even better than you imagined. I was producing a session for a singer who wanted the Whitney Houston arrangement of the Star Spangled Banner, and he couldn't make the transition from 3/4 to 4/4 to save his life. So at one point I he horn player said, "Let's just play it in 3." Then these session sight-read 4/4 charts in 3/4 time, perfectly. I was at another session where I asked a soprano to read her part up a 3rd. No rehearsing, we did it in one take. So I can understand Betty White's appreciation, working with pros. It's a gas!
My relative started 60 years ago as a young secretary at the largest radio station in NYC. She met and/or interacted with innumerable celebrities as she moved up the ranks. I recently asked her who was the most dislikeable or meanest? She said she had to spend several hours, one-to-one in 1967, while one of the future Golden Girls read over and OK'ed a radio script. It was the worst experience she ever had with a celebrity. I was shocked at who she said it was! So, evidently, not everything is as it appears.
No. If you Google "Bea Arthur was not fond of me" there's video of an interview Betty White did where she talks about the subject seriously. That's just one of many sources. Both Betty White and Rue McClanahan were fairly open about the fact that Bea did not like Betty. But I do think the "feud" aspect of it has been greatly exaggerated in the media.
It was a complete misunderstanding that led to Bea & Betty not talking. Bea thought Betty was mean to and impatient with Estelle Getty while she was suffering with Alzheimer's/Dementia. At times Estelle would forget her lines and Betty made jokes about it on set (I'm sure it was just for levity) and Bea thought it was mean. I want to say they may have reconciled before Bea died, but I don't remember.
@@divalock5298 I'll admit, I can kind of see why Bea would get annoyed about that. It's a difficult thing to pull off, using jokes to ease the tension around dementia - and honestly, speaking as someone with a family member who has dementia, it's not the best tactic to use. I'm sure Betty meant well, but... yeah...
@@Maerahn I agree. Assisting someone with this dreaded illness is hard work, but moreso for the actual person suffering with it. I want to re-read the article to see if there was a reconciliation.
'hate' is probably a bit of an overblown descriptive ireckon lol.. that said i picked up from a.. comment, ithink, if not an article recently some mention about bea finding betty's inclination to break4thwall and interact with the audience between takes (or something along those lines) to be unprofessional..? might have added to that^ in a compound fashion or been the baseweight of which the dementia jokes became a last-straw..? like, a clash or disagreement/incompatibility in working styles &/or philosophy is likely crazy common in the industry and gets made too much of often, imho.. but as smalltalkfodder or interesting tidbits for those of us (mostly) outside the industry it makes for munchable gossiplikes? (...and clicks... sighlol but let's not forget the clicks ĕ_é";;; ) .edited⁴typo
They didn't got along. Bea and Betty. So she makes it like a joke, but it is actually the truth. Such a good show. It's sad that they didn't got along.
They worked together for decades...I don't know where you got this information from. I can't confirm or deny it.But I've seen video after video of them behind the scenes.And they work together on Maude so I don't know if they would work together so long and so much if they didn't get along.
@@roriemarie2968 Yeah i know. I really like to believe that they DID got along. It's probably blown out of proportion by the media. Maybe they did got along but weren't the best of friends.
The Golden Girls is one of the best TV shows of all time. It's right up there with I Love Lucy, The Andy Griffith Show, and Seinfeld. Simply amazing writing and acting...brilliant!
She loved one man her entire life, always willing to walk a step behind. A remarkable woman who young women can't understand what she accomplished in the day and time she did. Rest in peace Miss Betty.
Can’t tell if she was joking or being serious. lol. My guess is it’s possible that bea heard about this comment, even if Betty WAS joking, and took offense to it and that that was the source of her seemingly freezing Betty out later on.
Another possibility is that there were people who watched this interview, took it seriously and thus started the rumour that the two didn't got along. I am inclined to believe that.
She’s been around to negotiate being truthful abundant seeing positive spin. If your around everyone who thinks your great your in trouble. It’s good to have real pros keep your talent at its peak. She once said each of the 4 golden girls are like 4 points of a compas.each humors doesntbtrample on another’s characters take and there wasn’t one weak link. Together all doing their thing is pure magic. No reason to be jealous of the other. Each golden girl received an Emmy , so fitting. Betty received many Emmy’s from beginning of her 70 yrs in television. Always humble. She made sure that sue Ann Niven had right amount of spice on the Moore show as to not have audience begin to dislike self absorbed Niven. She played it perfectly. Glad she played Rose. Rue took her character to places Betty could’ve gone but playing her character gave her a unique challenge of playing the opposite of what Betty is - pure brains. Always humble always grateful. A true lady. Bawdiest thing she did was SNL . Once was enough. Good for her. A master.
The Golden Girls was such an amazing show. All four of the leads were witty on a level that’s hard to find, you’d be surprised how much of the banter was just them running with it.
" Yes we get along great. No one wants to be like Linda Lavin , aka ( Alice Hyatt ) and be jealous or envious because another character on the show is more popular than your own and making that person want to leave threatening the longevity of the show. Have you seen the size of our paychecks at our ages? Even if we didn't get along we made a pact that we'll fake it to the very end.
I really hate how everyone assumes the issues between Bea and Betty were all on Bea. We don’t know what went on between these women in private and no one is a saint not even Betty White.
I saw an interview after Bea passed and the person worked behind the scenes on the show. He said Bea was very private and kept the job apart from her personal life. He said she was especially kind to the crew. And she went home after tapings; her family was her priority. He said her personality was not that of a jokester, even though she was funny as hell. She was "not Hollywood."
She was really and honestly told the truth!! Bea really hated Betty in real life!! And did it with a smile!! And it was one sided. Betty was never mean or nasty to Bea like Bea was to her!!!!!
Bea was a little jealous of Her popularity on the show..She didnt like Bettys ability to always greet the audience & sign everything for them..She saw Her as too friendly..Betty was awesome !
Her eyes had that beautiful spark for almost a hundred years ❤️
Telll the day she died she always held that sparkle in her eyes😍. Bea, Rue and Estelle were all such wonderful women and made TV history. A favorite show for many even til this day. I even watch Golden Palace just because I loved the GG so much. I can quote everything they say in GGs. 😂

@@positivepessimist6853 I felt the same way. I knew she was old, somehow I was still shocked.
@@sweetpie7919 Yes! 😔
She's in heaven. An exemplary human being
Betty White was one hell of a woman, and a wonderful actor to boot!
Loved her in Lake Placid
@@kylefulford3810oh I forgot about that movie. My kids would love that.
I've never known a woman that was loved by everyone untl Betty White.
What a beautiful heart she had.❤🎉
Dolly is following suit beautifully I think… but yes, Betty was definitely one of a kind, a real lady ❤
Everyone except Bea, of course. Not saying they were enemies or anything. Just that they didn’t get along.
In true Betty White fashion, she smoothly dodged the negative intent behind the question. Betty knows the truth about her relationship with Bea. Bea was (allegedly) oftentimes a B.
Betty White for the win!🎉
That's true
Dolly Parton enters the conversation
She was an awesome actress and always had a smile. R.I.P., Betty❤❤❤❤
Her voice can be so innocent and sweet, then bam, she pulls a one-liner 😂😂
Whether they were friends frenemies or foes, Both Betty and Bea were phenomenal talents and superb actresses.
@traceyjackson4470 i have a feeling it was more of a sisterly relationship. Bea was a little cantankerous, do the other three kind of got on Bea's nerves, but she truly liked the girls. Bea was on record defending Betty and Rue quite vigorously when people were spreading rumors.
She's a classy lady!!
Her and Bea were not closest of friends, but Betty didn't have a mean thing to say...💫
Bea might have had issues with her behind the scenes, but she never talked bad about Betty publicly. There was respect even if there wasn't fondness. They had each other's back, whether they liked each other or not.
This woman was such a beautiful soul... She looked like my own wee granny..... RIP the legend that was Betty White 💛
Bea Arthur was/is a Marine Corps veteran from ww2. Yes, I know she is gone. ❤ Just a fact!
Semper Fidelis!

SO WONDERFUL to see Betty White again! An amaxing woman.
What beautiful eyes and smile. I could listen to her for hours ❤❤❤❤
Betty was such a pro ❤
Little did she know that Rose Nyland would become an iconic character on TV ❤
Betty White was 100% professional! Who else could have played Sue Ann Niven and Rose Nyland?
Rest in Peace, Betty! 🌹
We lost an icon but will always be in our hearts 💕 & on film forever. 🥰
I miss her so much. I would have loved to see her reach 100. Hell, 110.
Got pretty close to 100 though
