In the words of Esther Rolle as Florida Evans from Good Times:, "Damn! Damn! Damn!" Florida once worked for Maude Findlay, who was of course played by the one-of-a-kind Beatrice Arthur. Known for her caustic characters, not only on Maude, but on The Golden Girls and (most memorably for me) her cameo as an unemployment office worker in Mel Brooks' History of the World, Part I.
Two of the "girls" of The Golden Girls--Bea and Betty White--have seemed almost immortal. They've been prominent in pop culture for as long as I've been alive, and have always seemed to be "women of a certain age." So the aging of both seemed unnaturally prolonged. And they'd keep popping up here and there, vibrant and funny as ever. Bea showed up at Comedy Central roasts, in viral internet videos with Abe Vigoda and Charlotte Rae. She had a memorable turn as Dewey's babysitter on Malcolm in the Middle.
Bea Arthur has left an indellible mark on pop culture, and will live on forever, at least to this blogger. RIP, Bea. Now you can tell God personally to "get" Walter!
