The Golden Girls Before They Were Golden

By Alex in Film on Aug 27, 2008 at 1:54 am

Andrea Hale of The Retro Blog has a neat post about what The Golden Girls did before they were famous.

Betty White (left), for instance, did a Fantastik Disinfectant cleaner; Bea Arthur starred in Mame with Lucille Ball; Rue McClanahan did a risque striptease in Hollywood After Dark in 1968.

No Estelle Getty (RIP) though – but Andrea did find a clip of her workout

    And oddly enough, Estelle Getty (who was the oldest character) was actually the next to youngest actress on the show. I always thought that this was an interesting gact.

    They were very beautiful women all their lives. I loved that show when I was a kid (does that make me a weird kid?!?!?).

    Even though Rue McClanahan is all young in that clip, in my mind it’s like the “Golden Girls” version of her doing that dance… I feel conflicted. I need to wash my eyes. Or take a shower. Or cry a little.
