This is a story I tell quite often and I posted a screenshot of it on my twitter the other day. I had a night off in 2001 and at the time I wanted to see a show, someone with talent sing. That night I was in the crowd of Bea Arthur's One Woman show, in Melbourne. I had travelled 5 hours to see it. I remember her singing the song "Fifty Percent" and I had goosebumps, because she was an amazing talent. Here is the screenshot. Bea will always be my #GoldenGirl and forever a legend  |

What a fantastic experience, jasong! I've never been fortunate to meet any of the cast, but several years ago we did send a group mailing to Betty White - several letters written by members on our old forum. I printed them off and bound them together in a booklet, and shipped it to her. Betty sent me a wonderful card - handwritten - that spoke about her love of show business, animals and her Golden Girls time. I treasure that note... Welcome to the boards!! |

Thank you! it was an amazing experience, one I'll never forget.
All the girls are/where so talented. And I was grateful I saw her One woman show.
Betty is making the girls proud everyday..

It was always hard to put into words, when I tried to explain to family and friends. Made it so much easier writing it and telling everyone how awesome it was. It was a great show, she was a talent like no other.

Such a beautiful story, thanks for sharing it. Bea truly is a legend. And Dorothy has always been the (Golden) one for me.

I'll just quickly add on I was also told to "F" off by her as well, in the same night. amusing for me. I still hold her in high regard.
