We'll Miss Bea From Broadway to television, Bea Arthur was a character. MICHAEL WILSON | The Ledger (2001) Buy photo Bea Arthur brought her brand of life and humor to Lakeland in 2001. By JESSICA SUAREZ POPMATTERS.COM movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/andthentheresbea/messages/2995?l=1 2/17 3/25/13 andthentheresbea : Messages : 2995-3026 of 3145 Published: Monday, April 27, 2009 at 12:01 a.m. Last Modified: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 at 5:06 a.m. Bea Arthur's death Saturday marks the passing of one of television's distinctive voices. Her portrayal of Edith Bunker's outspoken cousin on "All In the Family" led to a spin-off of her own with "Maude," and her Dorothy Zbornak on "The Golden Girls" stands out even among the three other wonderful characters on the series. Beginning her career on the stage, she starred in Broadway productions of "Fiddler on the Roof" and most famously in "Mame," a role she reprised for the 1974 film version with Lucille Ball. Her place in television history was assured during her guest starring episodes on "All in the Family." Maude was a liberal and a feminist and the perfect counterpart to blustery Archie Bunker. Her appearance on the series was so striking that upon first seeing her in "All in the Family," the network realized that Arthur had created a character with a life of her own and one who warranted her own series. "Maude" was another of Norman Lear's groundbreaking shows and it made television history with Maude's decision to have an abortion after becoming unexpectedly pregnant in her 40s. Winning an Emmy for her portrayal of Maude, Arthur was still on the cusp of what would become, for many, her most recognizable role. What's more, her character on "The Golden Girls" was said to be a "Bea Arthur type" - no better casting could have been made. In 1985, Brandon Tartikoff, then president of NBC, pitched a series about a group of older women living in Miami and dealing with friendships, family and their love lives. "The Golden Girls" was born and the network had an instant hit in the antics of Dorothy, Sophia, Rose, and Blanche. Running for seven seasons, Arthur, Betty White, Rue McLanahan and Estelle Getty created an unorthodox family by playing with conventions of age and gender and turning them on their ear. In fact, it's Arthur's interpretation of a divorced substitute teacher living with her mother and two friends in Miami that marks one of the all-time great female characters on television. Dorothy was the outspoken, quick-witted counterpart to sweet, naive Rose and egotistical, man-crazy Blanche. She was never at a loss for words and could deliver a dig like no other. Her sarcasm and her deadpan delivery were impeccable. It's no wonder that Arthur really hit her stride with the character. On "The Golden Girls," Arthur's Dorothy could be everything from highly confident to desperate; mothering and nurturing to acerbic and stinging. Yet throughout she was always funny and charming. Jokes were frequently made about her appearance - her height and deep voice were often played for laughs - but the viewer never felt like Dorothy couldn't take it, or even that Dorothy ever took it all that seriously. Arthur was fearless in her portrayal of Dorothy. Rue McLanahan said as much in response to Arthur's passing: "Thirty-seven years ago she showed me how to be very brave in playing comedy. I'll miss that courage and I'll miss that voice." McLanahan, who starred in both "Maude" and "The Golden Girls" with Arthur, should know just how bold Arthur could be. The surviving members of "The Golden Girls" (Estelle Getty died last year after a long battle with dementia) had participated in commentaries and bonus features on the DVD releases of the series and their memories of their time together clearly shows just how much fun they had with the material. Arthur even says "I sometimes wake in the middle of the night and think of a line and I start laughing and can't stop.

  • Summer 2020 Lineup
    NEW RELEASES SUMMER 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic FRONTLINE is working tirelessly to bring you the facts, perspectives and stories that explain this unprecedented time with five special programs. With the world reeling from the coronavirus outbreak, FRONTLINE presents a special report from Seattle—the first U.S. city struck by the virus and a bellwether for what was to hit the rest of the country. Veteran science reporter and FRONTLINE correspondent Miles O’Brien tells the inside story of Seattle’s fight to identify and contain the novel coronavirus, traveling through the locked-down city—from the hospital where patient one was treated to the nursing home where the outbreak exploded. In almost real time, doctors, patients and public health officials recount the dramatic story of how the unusually well-prepared city hoped that it had averted a crisis, then confronted the grim reality of the fast-spreading virus. The film shows how the federal government’s missteps early on impacted cities like Seattle, and highlights the contrast between the two Washingtons—between the Trump administration’s messaging in Washington, D.C., and the increasingly dire situation on the ground in Washington State. As the pandemic continues to take its toll, O’Brien has remained in Seattle to document the ongoing fight and its significance as a cautionary tale for the rest of the country. 1x60 Play Program Produced by Miles O’Brien for FRONTLINE. 2 COVID’s Hidden Toll FRONTLINE investigates how the COVID crisis has hit vulnerable immigrants and undocumented workers. The film features stories from the pandemic’s invisible victims, including crucial farm and meat-packing workers who lack protections and have been getting sick.

  • DVD Review: Betty White in Black and White
    DVD Review: Betty White in Black and White http://blogcritics.org/video/article/dvd-review-betty-white-in-black/#ixzz17eBAtndJ - Jake Guerra It goes without saying that TV legend Betty White has had quite a year. From a memorable Super Bowl ad, to roles in such hit movies as The Proposal, to even hosting one of the funniest Saturday Night Live episodes in recent history, Betty White is still making them laugh at 88 years old. For true Betty fans, a nice little treat has been released on DVD: Betty White in Black and White, a DVD compilation that comes with episodes from the start of White's career in the '50s. The DVD begins with two episodes from one of White's first sitcoms, Life with Elizabeth, which started as a local program that received national syndication. White stars as Elizabeth, who is newly married to Alvin (Del Moore), and the series shows the ups and downs they face. The format of the show is different in the sense that each episode is broken into three “incidents,” introduced by an announcer each time. At the end, the cast would tell the audience goodnight, followed by a special message from White. Some people might be thrown by the obvious static set and the low budget look, however White makes each segment shine. Elizabeth may not be considered a classic to some, but it was definitely a great start to a wonderful career. During the time of Life with Elizabeth, White also started her own daytime variety program, The Betty White Show.
