Not very golden.
Marsha Posner Williams, co -producer of “Golden Girls”, opened the Betty White and Bea Arthur, during an event celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the comic series in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
“When this red light was running [and the show was filming]There were no more professional people than these women, but when the red light was stopped, these two were unable to warm up each other if they were burned together. ”
Williams remember Arthur “used to contact me at home and say,” I just faced it [C-word] In the grocery store. I will write a message to her, “and I said,” Bea, just overcrowded to scream her loud. Just exceed it. “
The producer continued, “I remember, my husband and I went to Bea's house several times for dinner. Within 30 seconds of walking in the door, the word C-Word came out [to describe White]”
“The Golden Girls” broadcast on NBC from 1985 to 1992, after four single women who shared a house in Florida while moving in their “golden” years. There was South Bell, the widow of Blanche (McLanahhan Street), the widow of Minnesota, Rose (White), Brokelin Mawlid Dorothy (Arthur), and Dorothy Sicily, Sofia (Estl Getty).
Getty died in 2008 at the age of 84, McLanahhan died in 2010 at the age of 76, White died in 2021 at the age of 99, and Arthur died in 2009 at the age of 86.
Producers speculated about the source of White and Arthur's runner. Co -producer Jim Falli said he believed that this was because White got more applause during the introductions of the actors.
However, Williams did not agree, and they thought they clashed over their various backgrounds, because Arthur had the background of the theater while White came from the TV.
It was also predicted that the dispute came from jealousy, as White was the first member of the show team that was nominated for the best Amy actress in 1986.
In the biography of “Golden Girls Forever”, which was published in 2016, the author Jim Colucci indicated that Arthur remained in his character during the registration, while White relaxed between the shots and joked with the direct studio audience.
“I think my mother did not dig this,” Ibn Arthur, Matthew Sachs, told the Hollywood newspaper in 2016, seven years after her cancer death in 86 years.
White revealed her side of the story in 2011, saying in an interview: “Pace had a protected. She was not fond of me. She found pain in the neck sometimes. My positive position – this made bea crazy sometimes. Sometimes if I was happy, you'll be angry!”
This is not the first time that this allegation appears to Arthur using the word C. During the 2022 episode of the original podcast, the director of the corrected, Joel Thurim, “literally Boy Arthur, who delivered it in something else later,” Oh, it's AF -King C -T “using this word [about White]”
“Bea Arthur Betty White AC-Word?” Podcast Andrew Goldman's host in the interview.
Thurim said: “Yes, I called her the word C. I mean, I heard it with my ears.” By the way, Sher McLanahhan said. [restaurant]; Pia Arthur [when she was] On the “beggars and selection” group. “
Thrum recalled how Getty-which died in 2008 in the year 84 of the dementia began in Lewy Body-in getting problems that keep their lines to try.
He said: “She was writing the lines on her hand, and … my home White mocked her in front of the direct audience.” “It may seem like a simple encroachment, but it really reaches you … I have no idea about the feeling of Estelle Getty, but I know that the other two did not like [White] Absolutely. “
During the Wednesday night event, Williams recalled that the tensions between White and Arthur were also present on the group.
“It will break my personal home in the middle of the show [and talk to the live audience]”I hated Bay,” she said.
Williams also said that the rest of the actors were a game to continue the past seven seasons, but it was Arthur who wanted to end it.
“The show would continue after seven years. Their contracts were rising and … Executive officials went to the women, and Estel said:” Yes, let's continue. ”
But she added, “She said,” There is no way, “and for this reason this offer did not last.
