Who would have thought a stint on All in the Family would have lead to such a career?

Watching the golden girls with Bea Arther helped me get through some difficult times living with a manic depressive and having HIV has lifted my bad times and filled my heart with joy and brought smiles to my face every day since i got hooked on the program and even today I go to bed watching at least 1 or 2 epasodes fantastic sadly missed but always alive on with the power of tv dvd.

She is one of the best!

LindseyOct 12, 2009

She was a truly gifted actress. Its comforting to know that you can see her at one of the many great careers of her life, on The Golden Girls. Which shows reruns quite often.
