Bea Arthur was a very intelligent and well spoken. She definitely didn’t take crap from anyone and was one powerful woman
Love her!
"woman" ;)
like the way she handled the interviewerv😘
I love how Bea put dude in his place when he said something out of bounds 😂
I never liked Bea.
@@Lizalotte luckily no one asked
@@Lizalotte its alright, some of us are born without judgment or taste!
@@PincoPallino-zh8wm 🤣🤣🤣

Bea was also a U.S Marine in WW2
Growing up watching her from "All In The Family" and Maude" initially, I was always a fan. When "Golden Girls" happened then the Fleetwood Mac album "Tango In The Night" was released, while watching a music video seeing Christine McVie, they reminded me of each other.
It's interesting how the youngest of them Estelle played the oldest and how the oldest of them Betty played the youngest. I loved them and they made magic together!! Rest well Golden Girls you did well.🙏🏾❤️
Rue was the youngest by a good few years ☺️
The day I discovered the Golden girls I couldn’t stop watching it. Wish it never ended 🥰
Me ha pasado igual!! He visto las 7 temporadas,y ahora las volveré a ver desde el principio 😊. Qué serie excelente!!! Amo a estas personas!!!!
I was lucky enough to be really young on its original run. I remember my grandmother watching it. Rediscovered it when I was in my late teens and never looked back! ❤
I play golden girls every day for my daughter and I (my daughter turns two in September and still loves golden girls!). What a timeliness show. Absolutely love it. ❤️❤️
This is incredible how society and life was so different when this was filmed. Listen to the talking points and the composure the ladies had. It’s weird how we know so much more about topics and things now but we don’t have these types of intellectual discussions anymore.
most talk shows today are always trying to thing of what would go viral instead of making (or i should say prioritizing) engaging content
Thats such an intelligent comment. I Just Love everything about it
It's weird to think how much older they seemed at that time, and how much younger they seem by today's standard. Betty White was the oldest of the group and she was only 63 here. She had a career for 35 more years, who would have guessed? Rue sadly didn't make it to 84, but she was still entertaining up until she died as well.
They look about 80 by todays standards lol. But I think they look fabulous
I know what you mean but 64 is old - its only 6 years away from 70- and 20 years older than 44 (whixh is middle age).
@@arlenecerf883394 is old (unless you're Mel Brooks). My dad is 74 and he runs 50 mile races several times a month. Age is just a number. 64 was old 30 years ago, it's not that old today.
@@-Ricky_Spanish- the point I’m making is 64 is still old biologically and by society’s standards. Old doesn’t have to equal negative connotations. Old does not mean sick and deathly- it just means advance in age. Old is just a number and can mean fit and healthy. So I don’t know why you’re trying to push the narrative that 64 is youth when illogically it isn’t!
@@-Ricky_Spanish- you can be old and healthy and vice versa- young and sickly. What I’m saying is stop trying to reinvent the wheel and accept aging with grace. There is nothing wrong with the term and label, old . Only people who are ageist and youth centric would protest otherwise. I’m 65 and I’m sure as hell am old. I’m a grandma of 3 young teens and proudly so. I am fit, able and compos mentis
Watching this, I find it hard to believe that Beatrice and Betty didn't get along.
In the early years it was a very happy experience for all of them. However, as the show went on, Bea grew less and less happy. She was the last to win an Emmy and Betty was the first, which Bea didn't like. In addition, Betty's upbeat demeanor and joking around with the audience between takes got under Bea's skin.
@joshuaseils2567 actually Betty used to make fun of Estelle in front of a live studio audience during her onset of dementia when she would write lines on her hand. The other women did not like this and her attitude. This is in The Directors book. You are citing Betty's reasons leaving out everyone else's and Bea never spoke ill of her in public. Betty spoke when Bea wasn't around to speak anymore to state facts.
@@tqueen7131 This is true, and it seems insensitive, though Joel Thurm said she was probably just trying to keep the audience laughing in between takes, and Stan Zimmerman said she was possibly trying to steer attention away from Estelle so that she could collect herself. I guess we'll never know
I don't believe they "didn't get along" generally, but may have had disagreements now and then. Several times during interviews together like this one they touch and I don't think they're faking it.
@@joshuaseils2567 Bea said in one interview that she gets bored doing the same thing for very long- she didn't go on with "Mame" for it's full run and tour with Lansbury, wrapped on "Maude" after just under six years, and about the same with "Golden Girls".
Rue was a lovely lady and somehow seemed to get more lovely with each passing year on the show. Thanks for the upload.
Where did the rumor that Bea and Betty didn't get along come from? They held hands on occasion in solidarity in this clip. These four broads ( I use that as a compliment) are iconic!!! I grew up on Mary Tyler Moore where I was introduced to Betty and Bea and Rue on Maude. What a time. These gals are well missed. R.I.P. Thanks for the belly laughs!!!
They were two strong willed people and they were almost polar opposites in a lot of ways (they had plenty in common as well but the differences lead to some tension). Two people like that working together for years are bound to have some issues. All four ladies were great friends, just some pairings got along better than others. They didn’t hate each other or have any fights (until near the end of the show they had some very big differences and their largest disagreement over how the show was going as well as the treatment of Estelle as she was losing her memory). I think in the end though they all truly cared about each other.
No one is perfect I think thats why golden girls was created yes they were friends But they even had fights and I think thats like thats normal. I think thats what golden girls show was all about they were real.
This was early on in the series and the tension built up over the years. Their acting methods were extremely different. Bea was very methodical and calculated as she had more theatre background. It was strictly serious work for her while performing. Betty White had been on TV sitcoms for more years and with less theatre. She was very light and spontaneous. She could often take breaks and joke with the studio audience. This annoyed Bea to no end because it wasn’t her style at all.
@@finster1968 You're absolutely right. In the early years it was a very happy experience for all of them, but the other three ladies came from a theater background and Betty's breaking of the "fourth wall" joking around with the audience really got under Bea's skin.
This interview took place around Episode six when the show was in its second month of airing. So it was new and a happy time. Once the Emmys rolled in the next year, there was no turning back.
Omg, I grew up watching these phenomenal women and I still watch them today! RIP u amazing women 💜🙏
The beigeness of the studio and the girls is so overwhelmingly 1980s! Takes me right back to the chat shows of the time. It is so long ago.. and yet it feels like yesterday.
This is so lovely. I was 20 when this came out, 59 now and it seems like a whole other universe...The clothes they are wearing, and the beigeness is indeed dated - but it WORKS for these lovely ladies.
And oddly, even though they are pretty much my age they look elderly to me.
"She plays Rooossee," said just like Dorothy would say it😊
Bea was a hilarious person ❤
rest in golden heaven beautiful ladies, such elegant, classy & tlented women
Merv clearly didnt know he was speaking to a damn Marine!!!
Bettie White❤ I loved you since i was 10
I LOVE THE GOLDEN GIRLS........YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
One of the frustrating things about watching these interviews with the ladies while the show was airing is that the hosts invariably trot out the same old talking points. These are brilliant actresses with interesting careers and they can never get beyond "Old women! WHAT?!"
Good on Bea for calling it out anyway though ❤
They were wonderful❤
They all looked terrific here
Class acts is what these ladies are, always & forever ❤
Estelle is an outstanding public speaker!
These ladies are beautiful!!!
THEE ICONIC MISS BETTY WHITE!!!!!!
Bea is very intelligent 😊
It was the 'Age of Pastel.'
Love these four old broads
This is so great.
Bea, Betty, Rue and Estelle, together, were lightning in a bottle. Each of the four actors absolutely brilliant, each with undeniable comedic timing, but put together, the universe conspired to create something truly magical. And now they are immortal.
I had a group of golden girls too. I was definetly dorothy 😂
I hope this video never leaves the internet.
I love how Estelle is so articulate here. She is my favorite then Bea, then Rue and Betty. I just love them. I can't count the times I have watched The Golden Girls series, and I am just on my 30s.
Betty last?!?
I love the bond and love..I wish a had a golden squad❤
Bea and Betty were holding handsss
Merv actually made it on an episode when they played jeopardy with Alex tribeck
Thank you for sharing.a treat to see these four powerhouse,talented,and gorgeous looking women together on the stage being themselves.estelle getty and bea arthur fascinate me.bea arthur was always stylishly dressed.
He is as old as they are
Lol - It feels like Bea was grabbing Betty's hand 😂😂
She was maybe to comfort herself. You can see that all 4 women like each other!
Merv griffin showing his ignorance. "Oh you mean like a pakistani?" No, she means an indian...
Ladies and gentlemen..
ESTELLE GHETTY
These women are the epitome of feminism ❤❤
"she plays rose..." shady 😂 its clear in interviews bea and betty didnt get along much, but its clear they didnt let that get in the way of the show, cuz they gave great performances to the end
Where can I find this interview in Full WITHOUT the cuts??
Notice they brought out Betty first
Ok and? I don't think it means anything.
Bea Arthur ❤️
Where is the continuation?
She acts just like Dorothy here lol
And Rue is acting like Blanche 😭 that’s not even her real accent 😂
Is hard to believe betty white and bea Arthur disliked one another as i keep hearing
Was this before or after Dorothy and Rose were on the Jeopardy episode of The Golden Girls?
This was before
@@myles-spikewebby8519 Thanks!
"Not an American Indian, but a Pakistani Indian."
Got it.
Hmm he was disrespectful as hell to b in my opinion. Like carefully asking the questions b doesn’t want to be asked.
I could see the way he was targeting her in the interview.
I like the way Bea vouched for Betty as well..
I'll bet you feel ofended too.
@@FartSquirel imma a fucking dude
Could've been a SO MUCH BETTER INTERVIEW. UGH!!!
Rue really predicted her own death. She died I believe while doing Wicked!
He is the biggest creep. Look how close he tries to sit to them.
There's no sound
Considering nearly 29,000 people have watched this with many many comments none of which are saying there’s no sound, might I suggest turning the volume on.
Why is he all up in their space? Gross.
Yeah he's a bit of an invader 🤔
Because in those days we were not over sensitive bitches like people are today. Plus, they were all good friends
Bea has one hell of a smokers rasp.
Merv Griffin was acting too “almighty “. Disgusting… he should have stayed behind the scenes..
So-called "Bea Arthur" was born Bernice Frankel. Anyone who changes their birth name, unless for matrimony, is ashamed of their Father.
Weird take, but actually Bea did change her name for matrimony. She took the name of her first husband.
Well we can’t all have Mr. Martenak for a father, Ross. Why are you so invested in this shame narrative? Projecting something? It is odd..
@@DaisyPusher Daisy, it just grinds my gears to see people misrepresent themselves for ANY reason.
@@rossmartenak5517 is that what’s going on here? People change their names all the time for all sorts of reasons. Why are you so confident it was a shame based secret?
@@DaisyPusher Intuition
Clear proof Bea and Betty didn't get along at all
Yeah so much "proof", yet they're holding hands and laughing with one another.
@@RUclipsReadycontrol grip 😂
Why tf is he talking ish?
Omg Betty was so damn funny 😂
