Legend:
Bea Arthur
Number of Shows I've Seen:
One. Bea was touring with her one woman show, And Then There's Bea. This show would go to Broadway and become the Tony nominated Bea Arthur on Broadway: Just Between Friends.
Iconic Moment:
Just seeing Bea Arthur walk onto the stage was an iconic moment. There was "Dorothy Zbornak." Live. Right in front of me. The lady I spent every Saturday night with during the run of The Golden Girls. I was in awe.

I would have loved to have seen Bea Arthur. I really loved the roles she played and whenever she was interviewed I felt like she was someone who'd be absolutely fascinating to talk to at a cocktail party.
I'm so jealous. That would have been awesome to see her in person.
We saw her one-woman show twice in Florida and lovedlovedloved it!
I loved her in Mame. Then I fallen for her in others shows.
I bet she was down to earth and a HOOT as well.

I'm with you! We saw her one woman show in Salem, Oregon, just a few months before she quit touring and disappeared into retirement. LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED it. We have the CD of the show and are planning on having a Bea Arthur Party sometime.
love bea!
If I was asked to choose a short-list of, say, 10 people, living or dead, whom I'd most like to have dinner with, she'd be right there on it without any doubt!
I know you have seen many legends Michael, but seeing Bea must have been thrilling. You don't get much larger than life than Bea Arthur.
True. I had the fantastic opportunity to see her one woman show in NYC a few years back. It was just her and her pianist, and it was like spending time with an dear old friend.
Bawdy, beautiful and bold!
Good times.
I like the photo you chose to go with the post!
You're so lucky. I'd love if I could see her in person.
Coco Peru was a good friend of Bea and was asked to read at her memorial service. Coco talks about it a little in her show.
My brother can imitate her deep voice!
xo
A little older, I remember her on Archie Bunker then Maude.
I think I liked her best in the Sex and the City spoof.
I also looked forward to seeing GG every week
. I have fond memories of looking at GG with my mom and sis!
I wish I got to see her
My friend and I used to watch the "GOLDEN GIRLS" every week while it was on TV.
She was grand wasn't she?
oh bea. how i miss her so.
Another amazing one! Who havent you seen?
Totally green with envy, would have loved to have seen her in person!
I caught this show in Chicago. She was great, of course, even though one foot was in a cast. Apparently she had fallen off the stage a few days earlier. What a trouper!
Needless to say, the audience was entirely made up of gay men and elderly women.
She was a dynamo! I loved her wit and dry delivery.....
It's official. I'm jealous.
So jealous!
