I never get tired of watching that classic look she gives here when she says “Sondheim could’ve rhymed it”. God I miss this lady.

I had the privledge of seeing "Mame" with the original cast. The only way I can describe Bea Arthur's Tony-winning performance is that she didn't really walk onto the stage. She strapped it on, and used it like Annie Oakley used a six-shooter! She was the BEST!!!

"Sondheim could have rhymed it ...." LOVE IT!!

I love her voice, it's so unique. Plus, she's got charisma.

I saw Bea do this in the original "Mame" with Angela Lansbury. I know now I was witnessing Broadway history even at 12 years of age.

Just give Bea the line, and she will deliver the laugh....every single time.

Bea Arthur always had such class. She radiated dignity and grace.

that's nostalgic. And I feel that those times (1993) were better than our present

Bea Arthur is a wonderful singer. (Top notch actress, too).

She was such an amazing woman. Her comical timing has yet to be met by any other actor. I stop in awe every time she is on TV.

I remember when I first heard about her passing; it was a huge shock, and I felt as if I had lost a friend. Growing up with Golden Girls, and then having the fortune of watching Maude, I can only say that Beatrice Arthur is still at a level of perfection that few can reach. R.I.P., you lady of style, grace and immense talent.

Amazing she had the pipes like that in her early 70's

Her comedic timing is just amazing

She is literally unleashing her Dorothy ♥️♥️♥️

Sondheim could have rhymed it...never fails to crack me up! I miss Bea!

I remember seeing this "live" at the Hollywood Bowl. Love you, Bea! My hero!!

i am sad :( i had wanted to meet her in person. Maybe in the other world...

"Don't ever offend her/Remember her gender..." Wonderful!

Bea may be gone physically, but her talent and charm and glory will never be gone

Sondheim could have rhymed it. Priceless.

Love this lady! Her one-woman show was fabulous!

I’ve watched this so many times. It’s brilliant. The joke itself, and of course Bea’s legendary timing and delivery. The audience is literally howling. 😂

Did anyone see Bea playing Carrie in the parody of Sex and the City where all the girls are old but still dress the same? BRILIANCE! Bea would do ANYTHING for a laugh; that was my favorite thing about her.

Bea. A true blue trouper. Talent like no other.

Bea looked so elegant here. I love her shy smile and her grace…I love every one of those Golden Girls! My fave has to be Estelle but they all make me smile.

Fantastic! Just as magical as in the film.

I have tears in my eyes....I'll miss you her so much R.I.P.

I watch that god awful movie version for one singular reason and that reason is Bea Arthur. They refused to cast Angela as Mame because they insisted she wasn't a big enough star to draw people in, so they got Lucy & she simply could not carry the character (or a tune) and it ruined the film. Bea manages to shine, though & she steals every scene she is in. She steals EVERY scene in anything she's in. I can't take my eyes off her. She was my absolute favorite Golden Girl & Maude was literally a huge role model for me back in the day. What I wouldn't give for her height & her presence & her commanding voice. Alas, I'm just a 5'3" jittery soprano.

Her comedic timing.......amazing.

Can almost hear a dear friend singing this...after all these years.Miss you David.H. B.....

Bea is one of the Greats. RIP.

I LOVE BEA!!!!

I love it when a performer takes over the applause for someone else.

she is unique...thanks for existing Bea...regards from barcelona

Flawless!!! We Miss You Bea!!!!

love this diva! very talented and sings great! nobody compares to Queen Bea! :)

She is a classic ❤❤❤❤

"Sondheim could have rhymed it" is a great line, but now that I think about it, the name "Mame" is never rhymed in any of the songs, so the show really could have been about Vera.

RIP Bea you will alaways be loved for Generations to come . I miss her so much She was a true Gem.

Love her .. she's one of the best.

God bless her. She was heaven!

Wow only Bea could be Vera. Only Bea could put such personality to this awesome role

What a gem..

She will be SO missed. This is a TERRIBLE loss for all of us.

Aww Shes so lovely

A class act, not to be matched

@scott12061972 And Bea was the only reason, at least in my opinion, the film version of Mame was tolerable.

She was one of the best.....thanks Bea

God bless Bea Arthur! She was one of a kind!

This performance - Broadway at the Hollywood Bowl, 1994. Original performance/show, opened in May, 1966.

;-; RIP Bea. I miss you. You're amazing, even in death.

wish I could have seen Bea as Vera on Broadway (love Angela as well), unfortunately that was before my time (i'm 22), but I have the movie ;) and every season of the Golden Girls :D

Fantastic!

You look down from that moon!!Thanks for the laughs

sondheim could have rhymed it, lol! i love her, she was so brilliant :D

this was great..thanks for posting

Tank you for this nice video. Bea was a great actress in the golden girl's , but also a very talented signer! But, where's the rest of this show??

I love the part in the movie where she yells “the man on the moon is a BITCH!!!”

Oh my gosh, I LOVE that hat!! :)

bless her!

Vera .... Hysteria

Rip Golden gril fly high with the angels

Love this Song

Just THANK YOU Bea! I love you

RIP BEA. We love you so!

i love bea!

aw i love her

Beaaaaaaaaaa 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤💋

briliant video, thanks

I got you beat. She was my guardian movie star. I'm going to miss her too.

Thank you for being a Friend, RIP ;-(

I think I saw this at the Hollywood Bowl years ago. She's an icon.

Bea Arthur was a true performer and had a great intelligence when it comes to singing. She interprets the song, as singers should, instead of trying to do vocal acrobatics or hitting the highest notes just because. She never had a big range but you don't need one if your voice and performance serve the piece and not the ego.

Wunderbar!

what a fabulous lady!

I loveeeeeeeeeeee herrrrr. xo

I wish all the blessings in Bea's afterlife! (sorry if that offends, isn't meant to) I always wanted to see her in person, and my biggest dissappointment in life is not being able to now

"Sondheim could have rhymed it"

People like her should never die...D:
