    Bea was a power house. She is more than just a "Golden Girl". She has a terrific voice and great stage presence. It's a shame she didn't get too do more Broadway because that was right up her ally. A very strong confident woman for that time period.

    Not only is Bea in heels, but how many times have you ever seen her in something fitted and flashing leg?

      Her cheating husband had just left her a couple of years before. This was her princess Di revenge dress moment!!

      She also wore heels in an episode of Maude where she is at a psychologist office.

      I read on IMDB that she was the original choice for Ursula in “The Little Mermaid” but apparently her agent turn it down before even showing her the script

    I remember the first time I watched the golden girls here in the UK my mum and I was convinced Bea was a man in drag due to her voice. I feel ashamed for thinking that I grew to appreciate and love her. She was a great actress singer etc and playing Dorothy in the golden girls has become my comfort blanket. I love this lady

    Make sure you see " Everyone Today is Turning On". The weirdest number you'll ever see and its from this special. Why it's not included I have no idea. Just Google the title. You'll never Bea the same.

    • @tommytimp

      It's from the same show as "Hey There Good Times," Cy Coleman and Michael Stewart's "I Love My Wife." That was 1977 though, I'm not sure if there was a mutual friend involved in both.

    Did they put together two separate footage of Bea beside herself, or were those Bea Arthur impersonators standing alongside her?

      Was thinking the same. The shadows on the floor seem ok....I would think it was a double in real time....but I don't know. It wad done very well.
