This is one of the best blind buy DVD I ever made:wave:

Bea Arthur appeared on Broadway in the original cast of Fiddler on The Roof. She also won a Tony Award for Mame.

Have you ever watched The Golden Girls? There was an episode where Blanche, who is Vivian from Maude, brought Dorothy, who is played by Bea Arthur from Maude, to a local hangout called The Rusty Anchor and she sung on there, catching the mens attentions and making Blanche jealous. She sung nice on there. ;)

Bea was a woman of many talents, God rest her soul. I so totally miss her-on many different levels.

Yeah I see and sitting here amazed

Yep, she was a total show woman!

Yeah I was able to see that once I started binge watching and saw how talented she was

Yes, the fact that Miss Arthur could not only dance well but sing well and could project VERY well gave her the means to rise through the stage world until she got the notice of Mr. Lear despite the fact that she never was a conventional beauty.

Definitely one of the pleasant surprises of the DVD

One time Tallullah Bankhead told Miss Arthur that she was too unattractive for her talents to be noticed- and Miss Arthur recalled this and it spurred her to prove Miss Bankhead wrong (and, it seems, she never forgave Miss Bankhead for her mean statement).
