I love the Golden Girls. While I LOVE LUCY is my favorite show, the Golden Girls are on all the time, so I'm always watching them. My mom says "is that all thats on". They are all a perfect match: ROSE: dumb one, DOROTHY: picked on one, BLANCHE: trampy one, SOPHIA: wise smart mouthed one. It is such a great show! I was wondering, is Bea Arthur's voice like that because she was a smoker, or was it just natural?
