There are few sitcoms that have become as iconic as The Golden Girls. Beginning its run in September 1985, the series continued for seven seasons starring Beatrice Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan and Estelle Getty before coming to an end in May 1992. The outstanding series not only gained millions of fans, but also won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series twice and also took home three Golden Globes, and as recent as 2014 was placed on the “101 Best Written TV Series of All Time” by the Writers Guild of America. While the show has certainly been one of the most talked about even more than 20 years after it came to an end, there is always more to know! Here are 10 things you never knew about the popular series:

In a different interview McClanahan admitted that she also didn’t really get a long with Arthur. “Bea is a very, very eccentric woman. She wouldn’t go to lunch with me unless Betty would go with her.”

To me, this puts a different slant on the issue of Bea waiting for Betty before she'd go to lunch. It doesn't sound like having lunch with Betty was so important to Bea. But that she was avoiding having lunch alone with Rue. This makes more sense, based on everything I've heard and read.

Estelle Getty had a tough time with her lines near the end. She would frequently forget her lines.
