I have already expressed my great sadness at this on the GG thread but it's deep enough to warrant a double post. :-(

Great comedian. Could cut someone in half faster than anyone I can think of. Could do it with just a look, and it would still be funny. I think she may have invented sarcasm.
RIP, Bea.

adieu to a vintage showbiz b*tch.
(Neither of her huge sitcoms ever caught my interest. I have some Weill cast album with her on it, I think.)

I used to watch the Golden Girls with my grandmother, who had a personality nearly identical to Sophia. Good times.

There is only one solution for the fact that the Bea Arthurs of this world die and leave us bereft - we must grow and nourish our own Bea Arthurs. This is a tricky and time-consuming proposition, but well worth the results.

i forgot that i saw her onstage, in Woody Allen's "The Floating Light Bulb" ('81).
― Dr Morbius, Sunday, 26 April 2009 04:17 (seventeen years ago)
I can see GG being outside your realm of interest, Morbs, but Maude as well? Some of those episodes really are episodic TV at its best.
― Nurse Detrius (Eric H.), Sunday, 26 April 2009 04:22 (seventeen years ago)
the thing is, I was pre-adolescent when it debuted, and that particular issue-comedy jones was fulfilled by All in the Family. Most of my peers watched it for Adrienne Barbeau when the hormones kicked in.
Did you know one of her husbands co-wrote All That Jazz?
― Dr Morbius, Sunday, 26 April 2009 04:28 (seventeen years ago)
I bet Bea wrote the line "I just wish you weren't so generous with your cock."
Apparently, Minnesota networks weren't interested in Tuckahoe, because Maude never ran in syndication. Never caught up with it until a few years ago when the DVD came out.
― Nurse Detrius (Eric H.), Sunday, 26 April 2009 04:43 (seventeen years ago)
i actually gasped out loud when i read that she passed. this woman was a treasure. RIP

I enjoy the thought of her saying that to him one night, after catching the little snake cheating on her, and him walking away mumbling, "That's good. I can use that."

― i am david suzuki (get bent), Sunday, 26 April 2009 16:40 (seventeen years ago)
i don't know what, if anything, she had been up to before she died, but the last time i remember seeing her was in the pamela anderson comedy central roast, where she was so n/l compared to everyone else. she just read excerpts from pamela anderson's "book" for 10 minutes and flashed around that bea arthur stare, and it was completely scintillating and hilarious.

One such analysis described her conversation as “Argumentative” and her attitude and manner as “Over aggressive.” In a handwritten note, the Marine interviewer remarked, “Officious--but probably a good worker--if she has her own way!”
