Thank you for being a friend, indeed! These facts just give even MORE proof that the Golden Girls were just the best.
1. Series creator Susan Harris wrote the role of Dorothy with Bea Arthur in mind.
2. Rue McClanahan gave Bea Arthur the final push to accept the role, saying, "Why are you going to turn down the best script that's ever going to come across your desk as long as you live?"
3. Estelle Getty, who went through extensive makeup in order to look older, got a facelift before Season Two.
4. Getty also suffered from stage fright during taping days. She didn't think she was as good an actress as her costars.
5. Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was a huge Golden Girls fan. The actresses even got to reenact a few scenes in front of her in 1988.
6. There were only three chairs at the kitchen table owned by the main characters, even though four women lived in the house.
8. Arthur didn't have her ears pierced. All the elaborate earrings she wore during production were clip-ons. Sounds painful, huh?
9. McClanahan had it put in her contract that she would be able to keep all of Blanche's custom made clothing.
10. Even though the girls lived in Miami, the exterior shots of the house were filmed in Los Angeles.
