Her belief on marriage is profound. We celebrate long marriages but it doesn’t make it great. Unfortunately, most people get lonely without someone. As Oscar Wilde said most people don’t like to be alone because they hate the company.
Oh you know she loved Rosie A LOT if she did this. Estelle was painfully shy and public-anxiety ridden. You can tell she warms up a bit, but oh so reserved. It goes to show the level of talent and professionalism she had to face her fear every time she worked. There will never be another like our beloved Estelle
What a nonsensical comment. She was a stage actress… Your comment isn’t really true and you take a lot of liberties with the truth (“painfully shy…” etc) She was a guest host on the Joan Rivers Show, she hammed it up at plenty of premieres in beautiful gowns and relished those public appearances. By this stage of her life, her dementia had set in somewhat, so if she seems sedated and more ‘sophia like’ that is what you are seeing. I agree with all your nice words, she was a one-off, but don’t color the truth with your weird narrative. You should write fiction.
@@ah7910your wording is unnecessarily rude. Note that Bea Arthur was also a stage actress and was known to be very shy when doing public appearances as herself on talk shows.
@@ah7910 Maybe do some research on her before being a dick. 🤷♀️ She was a VERY shy woman off stage. She knew she had to do those appearances for visibility purposes, and she may have been under contract for some. It doesn't matter. She had a hard time with interviews and the like.
@@ah7910you are coming off as very rude. I don't think the original comment was meant to be rude or disrespectful at all. It's ok to be shy, I'm shy we just have to overcome it
2022 and Estelle and the Golden Girls are still a golden treasure, they have all gone to through those golden gates now but, will forever live in our hearts and history for eternity. We all still love you Estelle and miss you dearly.
I loved Estelle Getty in the golden girls she was absolutely wonderful! I can’t believe she’s been gone for 13 years she truly was amazing! Keep these videos coming Rosie they’re hilarious and I’d be so happy if you decide to bring the show back seriously hopefully will get to see you again on tv
Estelle Getty did not have stage fright during interviews - if you see her in interviews from 1985 and the late 80's she was quite witty and outgoing. What the issue here with The Rosie Show was that she was starting to show signs of the dementia with Lewy bodies disease that she came down with (and eventually died from in 2008). Some say as soon as 1992, during the last year of Golden Girls she started showing signs.
Yes I could tell she was showing signs on golden palace her speech was slower she would stare at things in this it was noticeable but in the first season she was strong and her speech was great
I love this for so many different reasons. Yup..that's me and my wife in the forefront of the audience in the beginning of the clip and I asked one of the questions --- which one was the oldest. Jeez Louis!!!
I missed this episode; 'cause I would have never forgotten Estelle Getty!! I have such regard for her -- she was a powerhouse and her life's reach and legacy lives on with each new laugh and caring thought her character causes us to experience. Thank you Estelle and thank you ROSIE for posting this!! :) And thank you for being so kind and gracious when my friend and I met you in New York City; you didn't have to stay and chat with us for those minutes--still one of my fondest memories!
I’ve been a GG fan since the show was new in the late ‘80s. I was very young, but remember watching it with family and laughing even though I didn’t understand what they were talking about. As the ‘90s came in, my love for the show grew stronger, and by the time I graduated high school in the ‘00s, I could quote every episode. At that time, people my age would make fun of me for liking a show that was what they thought for an older audience. I never cared and proudly displayed my love for GG. Enter now days, the whole world is talking about the show and loves it all over again. I’ve always been an old soul, and appreciate classic things. The GG was a once in a lifetime show, and I’m so glad I got to grow up watching it first time around when these four actresses were still here. Such wonderful memories. To have a time machine…
She was suffering from dementia at this point. She started showing the beginnings in the last season of TGG. She didn’t make too many appearances after this. Her last role was in “Stuart Little” in 1999. I can’t remember if she had a speaking role, though.
Love Rosie thought she was a great host & thought Estelle was great as well. Loved the. Both . Wish Rosie all the. Best and Estelle to rest in heavenly peace!
Loved Estelle - poor woman was clearly suffering here - everything about her, her movements, her speech was slow and odd - go back less than 10 years in interviews and she was like a live wire! God bless her - Sophia is my favourite character ever
Dearest Rosie, we never got your show where I grew up in Sweden but I already love you from this interview and you make me want to watch every clip of every guest you´ve had on. A lot of talk show hosts can learn from you, you have heart and compassion, you let your guests talk, you don´t interrupt them. Big fan!
Watching this compared to an interview she did in 1986- it’s like watching two different people. She was so outgoing and engaging but here she seemed very reserved and withdrawn. It’s so sad how dementia steals your personality and life.
Agreed in 1986 her speech was fast and she would think really fast here she was faded out staring at random things and last season on the golden girls she was showing signs sad
Estelle demeanor in this interview reminded me of my aunt who died of Parkinson’s disease . I just found out Estelle had lewy body dementia which is similar in some ways to Parkinson’s .
She was initially diagnosed with Parkinson's, but it was later found to be wrong. Her family and caregivers said they didn't blame anyone for it because of the similarities.
I still couldn’t believe that she was the youngest cast member even though she played Sophia petrillo! All four of the women were wonderful. Estelle effortlessly brought Sophia’s spirit
She wasn’t the youngest Blanche was the youngest and she was the second youngest by a year. Rose and Dorothy were born 1922 and she was born in 1923. Blanche was born in 1934. I used their golden girl names.
Estelle Getty was a fun funny gifted lady and Enjoyed loved her best on The Golden Girls and a movie she did with Andrew Mcarthy and Kim Katral in 1987 but cant spell it and dont want to be made fun of for not knowing how to spell it .
Dementia was setting in pretty bad here she's reading cue cards. For much of the run of GGs, she had her lines written all over the set. She was a pistol, though
This interview is a little sad. Estelle was already suffering from the dementia that would eventually kill her. And she didn’t have a particularly good marriage. They separated when she took jobs in Hollywood, and he remained in New York. And I guess he eventually moved to Florida.
@@fullervisiondotnet yes, on later episodes of The Golden Girls and Golden Palace she started struggling with her lines and had to have them written in places where the audience couldn't see. She was so darn brilliant on the show that you never would have known.
@@darreylhenderson702 Estelle is an icon of tv and theatre, no doubt. No disrespect, but the last few seasons you can absolutely see her looking past actors and the camera to read cue cards anytime she had more than a line.

Love when she talked about marriages lasting so many years doesn't necessarily make it successful. So true.
Her candor is so very Sophia. 😊
….. *How the hell should I know?* 🤣🤣

So beautifully said ♥️
Signs were already showing that year.. Love you, Estelle! ❤
OMG, Estelle's end joke was hysterical!
Wow. I know she had a history of stage fright so to see her doing a stand-alone interview is shocking to me. I love Sophia.😍
She filled in as a host for Joan Rivers at least once
@@devinblackwood5885 really?! Wow. The classic joke, 2 Jews walk onto a talk show. 😁👍

I still watch that show in 2021
Oh yeah she definitely did start showing signs… when she became a regular on Empty Nest it was very noticeable then.
Yes I could tell she was showing signs on golden palace her speech was slower she would stare at things in this it was noticeable but in the first season she was strong and her speech was great
Robin Williams also had Lewy Body dementia. You could also see the signs in his last interviews.
Can you guys believe it. If she had still been alive she would've been a 100 this year. Bea Arthur was 100 last year
You are so gentle and helpful to her. Thank you for honoring her. Estelle is a treasure. 💛
One truly amazing lady. She cared for people who were dying from AIDS back in the early 80s. ❤❤
Golden Girls is my favorite show ever.
I miss her so much.
I love this for so many different reasons. Yup..that's me and my wife in the forefront of the audience in the beginning of the clip and I asked one of the questions --- which one was the oldest. Jeez Louis!!!
👍👍👍👍
Well, I’m sure over the years you’ve finally gotten your question answered!! 😊
@@kmoore5215 I did...BETTY WHITE!!!
I miss her she was the funniest and added the fun to the golden girls! They were all funny all my favorite! The golden girls!❤
Thank you for posting all these old interviews Rosie!! Love you and Estelle. Golden Girls is one of the best sitcoms ever!
Luved her exclusively through tv, One of a iconic kind that Lady, let's hear it for....
this is such a lovely interview, thank you for posting Rosie

She reminded me so much like my Nana.😁
Friggin Awesome!
Wow thank you again Rosie!
Rossie is wonderful...great interviews.
*Rosie
Loved Estelle - poor woman was clearly suffering here - everything about her, her movements, her speech was slow and odd - go back less than 10 years in interviews and she was like a live wire! God bless her - Sophia is my favourite character ever
Yeah, physically she seems older, but her mind was still sharp here.
Love these! Keep posting and thank you, Ro and team!!
What a great performer Estelle was. Love this.

I have to laugh at her best friend Rodah she looks like she's out of Shady Pines 😄 rip girls x you may be gone but you're going to live on forever
One of our TOP Actresses ever!! ❤️ We enjoyed her Talent for many years 🌹
Thank you!!!!!!!! This is gorgeous
I really love her personality. So demure, and sweet.
She was such a gentle soul ❤
It's so weird hearing her say "I'm Jewish" lol. Love her so much ❤
Rosie was really really good. I enjoyed her interactions with her guests.
Rip Estelle great interview Rosie😁🇨🇦🇨🇦
i love you Rosie ... ♥♥♥
Love this ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I loved Estelle, I miss the golden girls. Glad that Betty is still around.

@@shadowstarz3651 same with Robin Williams who also had Lewy Body dementia.
She was such a gem!
“You’ve been married for 49 yrs what’s the secret?” In the most Sophia way “How the hell should I know?”
Hell, Golden Girls is still strong today, it's so damned good!
What has always been shocking about Estelle is her humility among other big actors yet, she was one of the brightest lights in the industry.
I still couldn’t believe that she was the youngest cast member even though she played Sophia petrillo! All four of the women were wonderful. Estelle effortlessly brought Sophia’s spirit

Estelle WAS Sophia! I love her! ❤️
estelle played sophia so well because she was sophia 💯
Even off the show she still had the Sophia aditude R.I.P. Estelle Getty
Great Actress, Great woman.
LOVE HER ❤
What an amazing woman.
Exactly. A long-ass marriage doesn't mean it's successful
I remember her as Sophia from The Golden Girls! She was funny and hilarious on that show! 🤣
Sophia is doing a passable Estelle Getty impression.
She is so soft and intentional with her words. Wish I was more like this sometimes. Any tips introverts?
HA
I saw a lot of Sophia in this interview.
❤️❤️❤️
Estelle 🥰🥰
Estelle Getty was a fun funny gifted lady and Enjoyed loved her best on The Golden Girls and a movie she did with Andrew Mcarthy and Kim Katral in 1987 but cant spell it and dont want to be made fun of for not knowing how to spell it .
Mannequin
She and Bea were Jewish. They used to laugh in the face of the fact they played Italians. But brilliant and what a trooper
I wished Estelle was my grandmother
Rip
Can you please please please post more of Estelle Getty🥺please
So can I is really Funny!!!!!
BRAVA attrice 🌹 molto molto molto brava nel film con Stallone ❤fu davvero simpatica... molto molto molto simpatica. Riposa in Pace ☮️ baby 🙏🖐️🎬
I love Sophia too ❤️
I never knew that Estelle didnt have a good marriage and they lived in different states. May she rest easy 💔
I love her! Hahahahahahahahaha
❤️
She actually was quite a bit like Sophia IRL :D
Back in the day when there was such a thing as a long distance phone call.
According to her bio, by this time, mid to late 90s - she was suffering from early dementia. 😢
Dementia was setting in pretty bad here she's reading cue cards. For much of the run of GGs, she had her lines written all over the set. She was a pistol, though
she doesnt look like shes reading
"As if!" OMG
This interview is a little sad. Estelle was already suffering from the dementia that would eventually kill her. And she didn’t have a particularly good marriage. They separated when she took jobs in Hollywood, and he remained in New York. And I guess he eventually moved to Florida.
So can I 😂
wonder if when Estelle Getty played "Sophia" it was based on an exaggeration of her mother in law
She was so soft spoken in real life. Very different from Sophia.
She seams to be a bit sick here :(
She was in her early stages of dementia here unfortunately. 😕
She was still a charmer there
Yeah she is. But she still looks good here tho.
i came here to hear what her real accent sounded like lol
Wasn’t too much different from the show. She’s a New Yorker. Born and raised!!
the purse was because she forget his lines too. There was some lines wrote on it.
Rosie had such a good thing going with her (albeit fake) Queen of Nice image. But she just couldn't keep her yap shut.
Having stage fright and being an actor or actress is really an oxymoron.
Estelle had the highest Q rating ever? When did she get dementia?
She was in the early stages of it even by this point, but it wasn't diagnosed until around 2001.
@@fullervisiondotnet yes, on later episodes of The Golden Girls and Golden Palace she started struggling with her lines and had to have them written in places where the audience couldn't see. She was so darn brilliant on the show that you never would have known.

Does Lewy Body Dementia cause memory loss though?
@@IWantToMature85 yes in its late stages
I think you could see the start of her dementia even in this interview
just think altimers starting in her
She hated Taping The Golden Girls..she had severe stage fright..
Estelle Bea Rue and Betty all gone
