This is one of those moments when I realize how this board has affected my life. Here's what happened.

I was passing by a TV and the anchor says "A golden girl dies." Instead of thinking to myself "how aweful?" or "how old was she?" or even "which one?", my first reaction was "Wampus will be crushed."

So I come over here to .net, and sure enough:

NOOOOOOOO DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT!!!!

even though it was mostly fun and games with ol' Bea, it's kinda sad to see your old schtick up and die like that ... oh only you would know my GG pain. at any rate, i am rewatching Used Cars.

[Alice S. Fuzzybutt]

I was really sad to hear this. I really liked her. She took the jokes about her height and deep voice with grace.

I remember watching Maude when I was kid. If nothing else, I learned women have a place in this world no matter what. Her show really conquered social issues.

God bless you Bea!!!

[Death Metal Moe]

I just realized that outside of the many jokes people made at her expense I know next to nothing about Bea Arthur. I know about Golden Girls and that's about it.

I think I may go IMDB her just do I know what the fuck she did.

She was in Maude, Golden Girls, and was in the original Fiddler on the Roof, on Broadway. She was really big in the theater industry, though i only knew her from Golden Girls reruns and watching her in bit parts of All in the Family.

of course, many know her as the voice of the robot, queen of the amazon women, in Futurama. she sentenced all the men (Fry, Brannigan, Kif) to death by SNU SNU! and she was the babysitter that died in Malcolm in the Middle.

[IamFogHat]

This is sad because I love that song. And now we can't do Bea Arthur compared to a man jokes. Well I guess we can but they won't make sense unless we switch the tense. This post was very entertaining.

[WampusCrandle]

i think this sums up her life beautifully (i've been looking for this clip since the news broke):

I can't find a decent clip, but whenever I saw her later in life, I recalled the first time;
as Vera in Mame. Her song during a musical within the musical, "The Man In The Moon Is A Lady" will forever be how I remember her.

This is the second time this month that I've commented on musicals... but I'm not worried.

Im sorry, im on my wine break!

it was a small role, but she played the hell out of it ..

[AKA]

Real class act - both her and Bette White - she seemed to come through at just the right time - from Broadway, movies and into television - I always liked her in Maude, even if I never really liked the show (just not as good as All In The Family, Jeffersons or Good Times) - and while I woudn't call myself a "fan" of The Golden Girls, she had that classic comic "slow burn" timing that I do find hysterical. I'm really glad someone posted that clip from Malcolm In The Middle - I forgot how much I loved that scene.
