Bea Didn’t Want to Join
Bea Arthur wasn’t a fan of The Golden Girls initially because she thought the women’s roles were too similar to what they did in The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Maude. However, she came on board when McClanahan and White switched roles.
The Password
Betty White absolutely loved Password, a game show on television at the time. It inspired Rue McClanahan, as well, so the two would often spend a day playing the game when they could.
