I remember watching Rue and Betty on Mama's Family. Then Rue and Bea on Maude. I'm so thankful they all came together with Estelle to create one of my most favorite shows. I've never passed up a GG episode. Never.
I was wondering, because in this clip, Vivienne says she is 47. I know she was 51 when she started the Golden Girls. I don’t know what year this was, but Maude ran from ‘72-‘78 I think, so I was confused!
She was only 38 when she started in Maude and only 44 when she finished - probably just the fashion and hair but she looks a lot older than she actually was in real life.
They actually used subtle aging makeup on Rue during her time on Maude to make her look closer to Bea Arthur in age. Rue's character Vivian was supposed to be Maude's best friend from college which would have made the character about 50 but as you say Rue was not even forty yet.
@@sansomdela It's rumored Bea Arthur had a facelift in real life between the end of Maude and the star of Golden Girls. Rue absolutely had one while doing the Golden Girls. In the first season of GOlden Girls, Rue looks older than she does later on.
When rue started the GG she looked so much younger than everyone else. Once the season came to an end she looked older than some of the other girls. Either way she was always gorgeous, didn’t need to touched her face at all
I watching this at 57 and remember watching it then when I was young thinking 47 is old 😜 Now I look in the mirror and see a older wiser hopeful women looking back at me. While I can’t Turn back Time like Cher I can dream of my youth and one day I might wake up a Princess 👸🏻
04:00 I am a little bit stunned "I'm stunned. Stunned. I am stunned. Stunned" "Blanche, let me get this straight. Are you trying to tell us that you are stunned?"
My forever crush ,Adrienne Barbeau. Everyone always wondered why as a little kid why I always wanted to watch this show. Almost 50 years now and she still makes the heart thump.
Love to see these episodes. Crazy how 40 & 50 yr olds were portrayed in this show & G.G. IN G.G. they were in their 50s of varying ages and made them seem in their 60s+.
@@susanford2388 beas voice got notoriously higher during the golden girls era and continued until her death. I remember noticing that her voice was very different sounding in her guest appearance on Malcom in the middle.
@@eyeflaps I wonder why her voice got higher, normally it would stay the same or get lower. Nevertheless, she was famous for that voice & height. I loved her in GG. In fact the ensemble cast complemented each other. Wonderful timeless stuff.
When you watch the entire episode you will see Maude getting more and more jealous of Vivienne's new look. Vivienne will follow Maude upstairs and let her have it. Then before your eyes they become Blanche and Dorothy. Its hilarious, and for once I was happy to see Rue's character rub her good looks in Bea's characters face.
Maude was such a wonderful show but have to admit, I adore The Golden Girls, ..just was the cutest show ever, and there is no age boundries on audience preference, everybody loved this show and still does,..my 24 year old son adores it even now..😘
I'm 28 and I've loved this show since I was a little girl. Idk why but my favorite episode was the Mrs. Clackston episode when I was little. I used to DIE laughing when that lady kicked her casket.
@Logia SD you could not dislike anyone on the Golden girls because we got to know each woman so well, you really got to love them, ..I watch it every day either on hallmark or tv land or somewhere...💗💗💗💗
@Logia SD agreed, like I previously said my 24 yr old son who was born in 1997 loves the show, he said he loves it because the characters are so funny you don't think about their age.
I always thought Rue was the person who connected the girls of The Golden Girls.....Rue was in Maude with Bea and she was also on Mama's Family with Betty
Everyone saying she doesn’t have the golden girls accent but it just sounds the same to me! American accent with the hard vowel sounds and strong rrr sound ??
Rue had previously appeared in an All In The Family episode when she and Vincent Gardenia (who ironically later played next door neighbor Frank Lorenzo) were a "wife swapping" couple whose magazine ad Edith had naively answered. (She thought they just wanted to be friends).
@No U Eh. I think what we see on TV and movies now includes a lot more editing, surgery and botox. They quite literally swap out body parts. Change height. You name it they can do it, and we think it's real. Sure those things play a huge factor. But I think what we see as "young" now, is 100% fake.
This is so funny! I can't imagine this storyline being done today by any modern actresses. Most of them would be too embarrassed...as most of them have a face full of botox and fillers!! Lol it wouldn't be acting at all!

Having watched so much the golden girls it's crazy to hear Rue McClanahan not speak in that southern accent.
That what a good actress does...change up the characters tone, speak and mannerisms..
Is this from another TV series?
@@loufadoros20 Yeah Maude from the 70s
I know, I was just thinking the same thing.
I know, right?
I'm expecting Rue to say something like "I'm as jumpy as a virgin at a prison rodeo" 😂 #blanche
#classic 😂
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Sophia: Yeah, what else is new. You ancient bed hopping relic.
Dorothy: Ma! Shady Pines!
@@ladyfire44 🤣
Well, that's... pretty jumpy
This only reinforces what an amazing and versatile actress Rue McClanahan was. There is absolutely no relation to Blanche Devereaux in this scene.
Iirc prior to Golden Girls she was known for playing sweet and modest characters, while betty white for playing bombshell characters, and they switched for GG and it worked really well.
Noticed the exact same
She was smart, too. She was a German major in college. It’s a complicated language to learn.

Bea Arthur had such great comedic timing.

Ha! Good one 😆
Nice 😜
Now are you trying to tell us that you are…. _stunned?_
Lol
"Vivian...My God, you had a facelift!" 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I….LOVE Vivian’s light blue outfit!!! She looks so classy and beautiful!!
And LOVE the long hair on Rue!
For those of you who do not know, they purposely made Rue look older in the beginning…as well as Bea.

@@RaphaelBas1995 she was 38. Pretty young compared to Bea.
I love how Betty Rue and Bea have paired up prior to Golden Girls.
It’s probably why their chemistry was so great on GG.
Betty and Rue worked as well together on Mama's Family
That's what I was thinking!!
I love the line "you look a hundred years younger!" and the line about her plastic surgeon "He's a miracle worker!"
She was only 38 when she started in Maude and only 44 when she finished - probably just the fashion and hair but she looks a lot older than she actually was in real life.
It’s really just the fashion; if you look at her face she doesn’t have many wrinkles, or at least no more than you’d expect in your late 30s.

Back when having a facelift was scandalous

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Angry feminist dosent want hotty friend to look or feel good
Her voice is soooooooo different than Balnche's here its like she is totally different person, i adore her 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
It’s amazing how timeless these storylines are.
I was today years old when I learned Bea and Rue acted together prior to Golden Girls. I love it, accents and all.
And Rue and Betty White acted together in the first season of Mama’s Family 😃
That’s me today
Rue mcclanahan is such a timeless beauty
Rue was phenomenal and Bea. Rest in peace to all the Golden Girls
I love that she just took a cab to the hospital and had a facelift done
Oh what a joy to see them pre-Golden Girls. These ladies were a gem and skilled at their craft.
The funny thing is that Blanche from The Golden Girls was going to get a facelift but she changed her mind💜
Well, I recall maybe that was a breast lift.
@@nishanttiwari6373 I think she mentioned everything lifted but especially her face after she saw her classmates at her school reunion💜

They specifically did this episode so Rue wouldn't have to wear the gray wig and old age makeup lol
She looks gorgeous in her natural state
I had no idea the two Golden Ladies worked in another show together.
Betty and Rue worked together on Mama’s Family.
How old are u?
@@dddddadadad1796 who cares? If they're younger just be happy they're watching these shows at all!
Six years on Maude. Although she only appeared in two episodes in Srason 1.

She was 10 years younger than a lot of people ever saw her and STUNNING. Love ya Rue. ❤️
"I was tired of looking 47"!!!!!
Shakira is 44 now.
Times have definitely changed..... luckily.
Sure! If you have a team of people behind you. 🙄
It’s nice that looking older and aging doesn’t have that stigma like it once used to.
Well they have so many things that if you start young youll look really good forever!
Plastic surgery has come a long way.
No they haven’t. 44 and 47 are old for women.
Early preview of Blanche and Dorothy 😀
Prelude to the Golden Girls!!
Not my brain automatically hearing Blanche!! Lmao Rue is amazing here
04:00 I am a little bit stunned
"I'm stunned. Stunned. I am stunned. Stunned"
"Blanche, let me get this straight. Are you trying to tell us that you are stunned?"

2:31 I'm surprised GG didn't make a reference to this when Sophia came back.
