Betty White put her career as a model and actress on hold to join the service in ww2 .She drove army trucks stateside ferrying supplies from base to base. Bea Auther did the same in the Marine Corps. Patriots!
I did not know Betty served too. I had only heard about Bea! Cool!
What an interesting fact that seems similar to Queen Elizabeth! I wonder if that ever came up when they performed for her 🤔
I did not know that. What amazing women!
Bea Arthur joined the Marines and she too ended up being a truck driver.
🌹
I would like to believe after she passed away in her sleep she woke up with Golden Girls to greet her..
Absolutely! Currently watching the show on Hulu 😁
Nah they hated her
I know but all is forgiveness in heaven
@@Akyomiall of em??
@@moonlight-ui1nyOnly Bea Arthur didnt like her
I hope ‘Blanche’ ‘Dorothy’, and ‘Sophia’, had a piece of cheesecake and a good story ready for ‘Rose’ when she got there.
This made me tear up... 💙
She met them in hell 😂
Rumor has it Bea actually hated cheesecake. Real team player.
@@janise01 Not a rumor. I heard Bea say she didn't care for cheesecake in an interview. And I later heard Betty say in an interview that Bea wasn't fond of her either. 😂😂😂
@@JumbarideLol I was about to say the same, not a rumor 😄
Apparently in those scenes she'd usually just push it around on her plate
She still had that same wonderful personality even at 99 years old !!! RIP BETTY WHITE 💙🤗😄😄😄🖖
99? 😳
She really did. Rest in power Betty
@@billrobbins5874 Just a few weeks away from 100.
@@billrobbins5874She was about two weeks shy of 100. She was a great lady.
Betty White visited a book warehouse I worked at around 1987 when she had a book out. She not only did a book signing But walked the warehouse and shook hands with just about everybody. She was such a sweetheart.
She was a people's person! 🎉
I wasn't even born yet but boy am I jealous hearing that
Decades later and ppl are still talking about these ladies...iconic 80s show... absolutely hilarious.😂❤
I grew up on Golden Girls. Love it
@@marklouis1890 so did I...they were a huge part of that era.
the golden girls is my ultimate comfort show ❤ so special to me
Mine too!
Mine too!!
Yes
Mine too!!!
I just recently rewatched it. It’s truly a masterpiece. One of my two favorites ever. The other being Will and Grace
She was so photogenic.
It's because she was legitimately beautiful. Plus she never lost that sparkle in her eye, which is very rare.
Just lovely, and a delightful spirit.
I’ve NEVER heard one single bad word about this LADY, ever ❤❤❤.
I think it's just terrible that we didn't see more of her. How's that?
Same here.
I did but it was only thrown in joyful hilarious shade.
@@jamesmcinnis208 she is on reruns from black & white tv in “Life With Elizabeth” & another show with her as the star from way back! They were free on here! I watched them all! She was a fun-loving & silly gal in those! Hope you find them, if you should want to watch them.
Actually Bea Arthur wasn't quite too fond of her lol.
She did do some things later on though. She did the movie You Again, was in The Proposal, played Kitty's mother in That '70s Show, and Olga in Hot in Cleveland. Oh, also that Snickers commercial lol 😄
Bea was a marine, she only knew one way to go....hard!
God rest all of their souls, and bless Estelle, Bea, Rue and Betty for still giving us laughs when we need them!
Bea Arthur was loud when I came into contact with her. I was at the Maryland Crab House in Santa Monica for my birthday, and they were bringing out a dessert for me and starting to sing happy birthday when she said loudly, "No. No. No." I turned around to see what man was wrecking my birthday, and it was her. I think she was embarrassed. I wonder when her birthday was. I'll have to look it up. Nope, not even close. Maybe someone in her party had a birthday, and she didn't want to attract attention. Who knows?
A marine in 1943 no less 😅
Rue McClanahan once noted how Betty was least like her GG character. Said how bright Betty was, she would look at a script and have it memorized.
Even Bea Arthur said she was the brightest of the group by far
@@66kaisersozaYes. That’s why she was always chosen to do game shows back in the day.
Dolly Parton did the same thing her film debut 9 to 5 she memorized the entire script
If Monty Python taught us anything is that it takes a lot of intelligence to play dumb professionally and Betty definitely played dumb perfectly
I still can't believe she's gone. Betty was such a kind person and her love for animals was so authentic and real. She was an amazing woman ❤ The world still loves you Betty. RIP
One of the few shows from the 80s and 90s that stood the test of time it’s one of my favorites timeless😊
Just pure class! Humor, elegance, dignity and compassion.
I have a shirt with a picture of the 4 GG and a caption that says 'Stay Golden', and I've been getting compliments on that shirt every single time I wear it for almost a decade.
my sister gave me a shirt like that!
Each of the golden girls was a professional in the true sense of the word. It must’ve been wonderful to be part of that team.
Made my day to see Betty. I’m so not religious but she makes me believe in Angels
What an oxymoron
@@mattw4496Why?
@@YouVSMeTV Well, maybe not oxymoronic if he is being lead to God
@@mattw4496 You seem miserable, sounds like God isn't working for you.
She will always be golden. 👑💛
Stay Gold, PonyGirl
"Underplays under playing" is the most proper shade ever shaded at a thespian 😂
I'm not sure I understood what she meant by that
I've read that Bea was actually very anxious about going on stage.
A producer said that Bea didn’t like Betty because of the way she treated Estelle. Estelle suffered from stage fright, and increasing difficulty remembering her lines. Betty was in the habit of talking to the audience between takes, and when Estelle flubbed or forgot a line, Betty held her thumb and index finger up to her mouth, indicating that Estelle had been drinking - and getting a big laugh.
Bea, who was very close to Estelle, was furious at Betty’s behaviour, and called her the ‘C’ word. Turns out that Estelle had early stage dementia.
@@MMT58 It that's true, that breaks my heart. My mom has Parkinson's Lewy Body Dementia so I can empathize.
@@John_Steinerbut I read that Betty did that on purpose so that the audience would laugh and not suspect the dementia. Betty willingly made herself look a bit nasty so that the audiences wouldn’t turn against Estelle. I worked with Bes Arthur one time. She wasn’t difficult, but she was NOT funny when she wasn’t acting, sort of aloof. But when acting she was the best deadpan comedian ever!
Betty was truly a gift to all of us❤😊
She reminds me so much of my maternal grandmother. I used to call her Rose all the time! We watched Golden Girls with my kids, and we had such a great time! RIP Betty White
Greetings from Mr Axel Vasa the west coast wizard himself, I got something essential to share with you, Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do. Love you very much❤️
That smile after saying Bea makes her life sheer hell is just so beautiful.
Hard to believe they’re all gone now… My Moms favorite show.. STILL, her favorite show
Mine and my grandmas
Their tension lended itself to the amazing chemistry.
Their tension was professional and not personal..both Bea and Betty still had respect for each other..not like SJP and Kim Cattrall..now that's a more breakable tension
@@marlonsalvadorbandal3278 I Kim better because the movies she was in plus she was prettier by far.
@@Cinemaniac87 how is that a better reason
Betty White was trans generational! I remember her from the MTM show, watching with mom on the one TV we had. She is so funny and sweet. Dave was looking for some dirt on Bea Aurther and Bettie would not budge. (Secretly Bea was an empathetic and sweet soul) Gave nothing but sweet praise. People like Bettie (grandma Harriet and Grand mother Lurlene, and of course my Mom, Connie) were the people I patterned my life after. If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all…
Betty loved Bea. It was Bea that didn't care for her because she was just "too happy".
I am sure Rue said they'd go for lunch together and if Betty wasn't going Bea didn't want to go, they were friends, they were very different people and had very different ways of working - I think Betty was the first female talk show host? She was used to engaging with the audience and making cracks between takes etc, Bea was from theatre & didn't interact with the live audience. So they had very different ways of working, Betty & Rue played word games on set between takes etc...but one of the big things that rubbed Be wrong was Estelle was having memory issues and HATED filming days, she'd often have her lines written on props etc, and one day she fluffed a line and Betty made some crack to the audience implying Estelle had been drinking or something, lighthearted banter on her end, but Rue and Bea were protective of Estelle, particularly cos she had this anxiety anyway and was having health issues, so to have Betty making the audience laugh at their colleague when she was anxious and vulnerable was something Bea really took to heart. Folk like to right it off as 'Betty was too fun, Betty was America's sweetheart and Bea was a sourfaced meanie' but really, they had a long working relationship & were very different people, they all respected each other & loved each other....didn't mean they always liked each other. Working with folk very different from you, who do things you don't like or agree with for the best part of the decade, it's gonna be tough.
@@amandakate4951I can’t imagine working that long around each other day in and day out had to get on their nerves occasionally! People have to realize acting isn’t a bed of roses some days!
😂😂😂
Betty was a true pro
Betty was one amazing lady!!!!!❤
I so miss Betty White!! She was FANTASTIC in “Hot in Cleveland”-so darn witty! Only Betty could get away with her steamy jokes!!
Greetings from Mr Axel Vasa the west coast wizard himself, I got something essential to share with you, Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship you have.
Love you very much❤️
Everyone loved her… she was a Icon👏👏👏💯💯💯❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
she was always so funny, RIP 🙏
one is my all time favorite shows. Betty was an incredible talent. May they all rest in PEACE 🙏
She stayed beautiful for DECADES. That’s crazyyyy. The smile she gave the camera after her comment about Bea 😍
I gotta say- Golden Girls made my thoughts if getting old seem totally different. All of a sudden getting old is not so terrible. I was 19 when I caught my younger sister watching this and made fun of her. She told me- "no, no just sit here for a minute and see". So I did. I laughed that whole day from the jokes I've watched in a 15 minute show with "old ladies". My God! What a pleasant surprise.
Loved her reaction to the Stooge question lol 😄
She was so real and funny and warm, from 1922 to 2021, the same beautiful person
What a great bunch of women all
Of them ❤
Everybody needs a Rose Nyland in their life. Loved Betty White so much. I cried when she passed.
I don't get too hung up on celebrities. When one passes I think that it is ashame, but don't really feel much in the way of emotions.
But every now and then there are the losses I do feel and this was one of them.
I think most felt this one.
One of the best.
I love Betty White. She was such a wonderful, funny, big hearted, talented, caring, beautiful woman. There will never be another one like her.
I really grew to love her.
the way she dodged saying outright yes
It didn't need to be said 😂 she said it before Bea did not like her
She still called her wonderful, everyone won’t mesh as friends but they can love and respect one another
Rest in peace, Betty. She was a real class act... one of my all-time favorites!❤❤❤
Greetings from Mr Axel Vasa the west coast wizard himself, I got something essential to share with you, Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do. Love you very much❤️
One of the last true icons and truly missed forever.
I love the way he phrased this, because it differentiates playing a ditzy character and being a ditzy person. Some people I know still don’t know what ‘acting’ is.
Such beauty, class and talent
Always a class act
I can tell Betty tries to make it sound like a joke but she actually means it! 😂 It isn't the first time I've heard about Bea Arthur having a temper problem, but I still love her acting! 😅. I love Bea even more in Maude!
They were very different people with strong personalities, who I’m sure occasionally got on each other’s nerves. But at least according to Rue, they were in fact really good friends - kind of in an “opposites attract the way they spat” way. Rue said the two of them would bicker all day long but they also would never go to lunch without each other, sat together between shoots, and hated the media narrative that they secretly disliked one another.
@@JohnJacobJingleheimerSchmidt7Good to know! ☘️
Betty White was so beautiful
"WAS??" she is soo damn beautiful.
@@princesss2118she passed away, was would be an appropriate term but she is and has always been beautiful
@@enmu6984 Yes, sadly, but one day we will all meet again.
@@princesss2118 "sadly"
It’s great how Betty White handled that question because she was put on the spot and she told the truth he had in such a way that at least David thought she was joking, but she wasn’t! Apparently, Arthur was very envious of her and was difficult with her
We will always love you and the girls, Betty❤❤❤😊
RIP Betty and Bea.
And..we ALL love her.❤❤❤
An absolute Queen 👑❤
Beautiful in every way!
I miss her 💕
Betty White no matter what you do from The Golden girls to whatever you are so funny you always made me laugh and you you're beautiful heart and soul God heart and soul you will be❤❤❤❤❤❤
I Love everything about Betty❤
Loved the show. My mom and I watched it for a couple of years on Sat nights as my mom was struggling with colon cancer. We laughed so hard!
Betty White, what a wonderful talented entertaining woman. Genuine and funny right up to the end…
I just finished my Hada Labo cleansing oil and absolutely loved it. I've now purchased the Softymo cleansing oil to try, and I'm so excited to hear that you prefer it over the Hada Labo! I can’t wait for it to arrive! ❤
I was a 15yo male watching the Golden Girls back in the day. There was alot of cheasy stuff but there are some hilarious moments. And no, I'm not gay. Lol
Queen Elizabeth served her country as well and I was very impressed by her and these 2 actresses as well. I honor women both in the past and now….. I wish I had your courage. Thank you so much for your patriotism and selflessness…. I regret
I did not follow your path….
Absolutely loved Betty White. Rest well Queen of comedy 💕
Betty was one of the funniest women in show business and we will always miss her
Betty is a blessing from God she gave us so much hope my heart literally broke when i found out she died I love you so much Betty I can't wait to see you in heaven ❤️ thanks for the laughs I love you so much ❤️ 💗
Love the Golden Girl ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love this woman❤
She was so gorgeous ❤
Greetings from Mr Axel Vasa the west coast wizard himself, I got something essential to share with you, Be proud of who you are, and not ashamed of how someone else sees you.
Love you very much❤️
If anyone remembers the episode of GG where Rose wants to be frozen when she dies. And one of her lines is "what happens when there is only one of us left?" And of course she was the final one of the ladies to pass. I have seen it 100 times before but after Betty White passed it hit hard. Brought a tear to my eye...RIP all the Golden Girls xo
I used to LOVE watching the Golden girls and they are due for a re-run.
They're fine ❤ 😊 I'll rewatch those 4 lovely ladies til I hope to see them upstairs
American icon. She is missed.
Greetings from Mr Axel Vasa the west coast wizard himself, I got something essential to share with you, Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do. Love you very much❤️
Love the Golden Girls and Golden Palace just love them❤
This makes my heart SO happy!!!❤

I grew up to my grandma watching the golden girls and though I thought it was a bit boring since it wasn't a cartoon and I couldn't understand a lot of what was happening I still remember watching it with her. 3 years ago me and my grandma watched the full series together, it took a month to complete it. I'm 40 years old now and my grandma is 83 years old. I know my grandma isn't going to be around forever so I'm thankful for the memories the golden girls have to me and my grandma. It's also shocking how ahead of us time that show was. They weren't always politically correct by today's standards but they brought to light many issues that weren't really talked about back then. When my kids are older and at an age they'll be interested in a show like that if love to watch it with them. It'll be nice to discuss with them how the world was back then, what's all changed since that time and what still needs work. I hope when I reach my golden years I can have friends like that by my side
She was such a class act loved her yo, a legend foreal miss you Betty!!
Love and miss this lady😊
I just wish Betty would not have entertain this question. Now, fans have intervened and made it as if there was a feud between her and Bea. Many other actors from Carroll O’Connor to Jane Stapleton to Esther Rolle have said wonderful things about Bea Arthur-and now fans have taken this so-called “feud” and made it bigger than what it probably was. Bea was an introverted, serious person, whereas Betty was more lively and bubbly. Two different personalities, so of course they’d clash a bit, but I doubt it was as serious as fans took Betty’s words to mean.
Not to mention, Bea Arthur was a World War II US Marine veteran. So put some respect on Ms. Arthur’s name and legacy that was paramount to hit shows like Maude, The Jefferson’s, All in the Family, Good Times, The Golden Girls, and The Golden Palace, just to name a few.
Being a war veteran doesn't excuse you for being a d**k.
Rumors about Bea Arthur not digging Betty White’s vibe on the set has been floating around since the show aired. This little snippet of an interview does not change anything.
I'm sure there's a Larry King clip where Better said Bea didnt like her for some reason
@@robinkulbayRumors are one thing but fans have made it seem as though the rumor is absolute truth and spread this nasty narrative against Arthur. Until we hear it from Bea Arthur’s mouth which we won’t due to her passing away, it will only be a senseless rumor that fans should stop perpetuating. You only have one side of the story and Arthur is not here to give her side, defend herself against it or even entertain the foolishness.
@@TH-camReady The rumors are not just rumors. Bea's son said she did not like Betty at all and was mean to her on set from time to time
I love Betty ..💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Your wonderful Rest in Peace ✌️ ❤
Class act all the way. Hope Bea, Estelle and Rue were there to greet Betty in heaven.
She's a light, even from the grave.
I love her
How she went from a celebrity game show participant to a TV icon, baffles me.
She had her own shows early on, she was always good in her own roles.
She was on tv and radio decades before she was a regular game show participant. She had her own talk show during the very early days of television. She also starred in one of the first television sitcoms in the early 1950s. I think it was called Life of Elizabeth.
@@fayetaylor919 C'mon, those shows never drew an audience. I was around then.
I really miss Betty 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm a 34 year old man and I find Betty gorgeous here.
Just beautiful.
Bea is so direct about not liking Betty.
Yes its palpable in the show 😂
Betty White lying through her teeth. Bea was very hard on her 😂
RIP, you were one of the greats!
Rue worked with both in their respective shows maude for Bea and Mama's family for betty they both were Thelma's sister and daughter but betty was also in the mary tyler moore show
❤ I Loved the Golden Girls
Chi living long life 🙌. We missing Betty 😢
And Bea wasn’t fond of her. Betty always showering with the love makes me believe we do create our own reality and love can turn anything around🤍✨
Rip to all the GGs they ate truly missed ❤❤
❤ DELIGHTFUL AS
ALWAYS ❤❤❤😊😊😊
God love her she wa just absolutely wonderful in every way🥰🙌
TV used to be so wonderful
Yup couldn't pay me to watch late night it's just not worth the loss of time
🌹 Betty was always so pretty & talented as well ❤️
She couldn't have said it better
