Yes, it was her favorite show during this time.

Yes, that is true.

As far as I know, this is exactly what happened. And Rue stated, when the Queen Mum makes a request, you accept without thinking and the honour is the highest honour ever. I love this story.

I like bed wiet off the golde in grils ok my names and shawnee kay anderson

Probably she was already drunk by the time this sketch started.

You did? And what happened when the ambulance man arrived?

😂 they brought her back to Life 😂

What Shirley said ❤

I still cannot believe that they're all gone. And I'm not ashamed to admit that that fact hurts a lot. RIP Estelle Getty (July 25, 1923 - July 22, 2008), Bea Arthur (May 13, 1922 - April 25, 2009), Rue McClanahan (February 21, 1934 - June 3, 2010), and Betty White (January 17, 1922 - December 31, 2021). You will all be missed, a lot.

@@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643I know I miss them too. But their always with us through the show

Love it when Blanche says "Get out of here!!"

Dorothy Zbornak none better!

When did you come again Dorothy

I wanted to see u so bad

Then why did you leave them.

yes, she has the longest experience in theatre compared to the others. I am not sure if Betty have been or participated in a theatre show/play but I am sure the other three ladies were.

To my knowledge Betty is TV all the way.

Dylan Simon Yes. She was the only one without any previous stage experience

@@nickwheeler4682vw g byb

Rue also was in theatre for years before she made it big on TV. She was in a play with Dustin Hoffman, for example. And Estelle was in Torch Song Trilogy and that’s where the casting agents for GG discovered her.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thanks I couldn’t understand what she said. 😂

I believe it because they were 4 legends and betty white god bless is 100

@@kenyattasimpson8468 She didn’t make it to 100 sadly. She died on December 31st,2021 at the age of 99 just 17 days before her birthday.

I know I saw it on tv when they mentioned and I just teared up

No, her favourite was Allo' allo

I thought was neighbours

I thought it was Dr who

I thought it was Keeping up Appearances.

I thought it was My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic

You know she had the same dementia that caused Robin Williams to well I can't say it. That's why I have huge respect for Estelle she managed to live till her 80s but it must have a very terrible ending

She really enjoyed working with the girls and playing her character. I'm glad she got to experience the level of success before her health started going south. I like to think of it as life giving her one last big gift, with a card attached that read "Thank you for being a friend." 😇😇😇

Actually they said she had severe stage fright. Then in the golden palace she started getting sick

@@tharris19 In fact the severe stage fright was exacerbated by her short term memory loss. She was afraid she wasn’t going to remember her lines and that she would mess up the joke in front of live audiences. It got so bad in later seasons that they switched her to cue cards to help her out during taping.

@@wille5080 Bunch of needless Karen gossips.

Also it was different. Four older women. Just like the show Roseann show cased a overweight wife and husband trying to make ends meet. Both shows were great because it didn't have just young people, and great writers.

Allen M. Quinn Have you ever been to a sitcoms taping?! There is no "laugh track" and there most certainly is no "cue" for laughing or clapping. I've been to about 10 sitcoms taping and the laughter is all real. It really is like a theater performance except for the rare outtake, which is understandable given that they prepare a 20 minute show including precise blocking in 4 days. These women are amazing, but in fairness, the stars of any sitcom (that is taped before an audience) would be capable of performing a live skit in character in front of an audience

They were all seasoned theater and live performers, so it was in their blood!

@@cameronjournal agree

@Tom Caine acting since the silent era? No.

Right!!

I don’t think that the Queen Mother was as stuffy as one might have thought.

The Queen Mother was a big fan of the show!

Lol, who cares? She’s a person just like anyone else. I never understood worshipping those inbred royals. 🤣

@@SpookyElectric319 Have you never heard of the Groom of the Stool?

Agree!!!

Absolutely true !!!

i agree - seinfeld might be as funny, but part of its comedic power lies in the fact that if a character was hit by a bus, i don't think i'd much care - i'd probably laugh. i hated those bastards, those gut-bustingly funny bastards the golden girls was touching - by ur 3rd episode, blanche, dorothy, rose, and sophia are ur dear friends - u care what happens to them, because they're just so fun, so charming, and so very, very human

Yesit'sJess Agree, you replace them or just have three which is why Golden Palace tanked

Yesit'sJess replace or have only three it doesn't work

True 😂

In the show the actual line was, "Til the paramedics came." Lol. Same difference

Delana Johnson I think she forgot the word but knew what was meant and improvised

@@stefansnellgrove She said ambulance cos that's what we say in England. They changed it for us. Nowadays we actually say paramedics, but we didn't then. I love it.

Kat G We say ambulance too

@@stefansnellgrove Oh ok. I've never heard any American say it. In films, tv shows etc. Always paramedics. But fair enough. I do think she said it for an English audience though. Seeing as the origal line is, until the paramedics came...

Clarissa Gafoor They sure don’t!

Make what? Old people?

This show is still the best in Betty white And Estelle Getty are my favorite I watched it with my grandmother and when I go see her we still watch it late at night

Watching again in 2021

She was reportedly always frantic remembering her lines. She is so awesome

Professionals! Mazel tov.

Literally!!

I agree ☝️

Factos!

Bea had been on Maude, Betty had been on the Mary Tyler Moore show with Rue....and I don't know what Estelle had been doing.

I’ve been watching all the repeats with joy. Brilliantly written, charming, funny, sweet, delightful.

I binge watched all the Golden girls box sets over the weekend. I suffer with depression & these ladies are always my go to when I have dark days.

@@elenaescocia2479this week for the first time in ages I've just been constantly watching the Golden Girls! Such a great show to put a smile on your face, but don't forget those beautiful poignant moments too.

All 7 seasons of the show are on Disney+!☺

I'm guessing that was a reference to The Queen Mum...

They aren't amazing. It's TALENT.

That's why I don't find this particularly funny.

MediaLover194 after over 10 years of watching the show it's hilarious as I completely forgot almost everything.

MediaLover194 That doesn't make sense if these are the best lines in the series :/

This is the same script feom one show. Fake fan.

@@justjess-zl3pm No it's not 🙄 fake fan it's different episode

Amen!

kefou kefak He is talking about the characters you idiot

Rue's timing is impeccable on that. *dead*

I freaking love her

The look Dorothy gave her was a priceless burn!

Why?

Roberto Moi Lou. All names, Maybe?

+rgalang74 Actually, it was bits of multiple episodes sewn into one. Worked great!

Yes. I remember all these lines. One was from the episode Blanche hit menopause. Some was from the first few episodes..Barry Glick was gay lol

I ws waiting for the line "Boy, that bull would have been jealous!"

I'm still confused a to why this version made it sound like Dorothy had gotten pregnant by Stan in college as opposed to high school. Of all things, was that too promiscuous for the royal show's sensibilities?

@@NasikaSakura Actually I don't see that assumption. The part where Dorothy talks about Stan breaking her relationship with Barry is pretty much the same as in the show.

Unfortunately, there's only one left...Betty White. But she seems to be going strong.

Irma Newton - nothing lasts forever except eternity after one dies, heaven or hell

@@ellierfromthebronx4531 now not even Betty White. May she rest in peace 🙏🏻❤

they do - their show can ALWAYS be watched

Aww that’s so sweet 🥲 they are so entertaining & lovable all at once!

The Greek Pianist I've told my daughters to put my DVD collection of TGG's in my coffin, So wherever I end up I can still watch them 😀👭👭💕💕

they tried with Hot in Cleveland

The Greek Pianist Absolutely agree.

@@JohnSimpson36 another amazing show. Too bad TVLAND cancelled it when it was getting started. The actress spoke up about got it was a big mistake they got cancelled. I agree with them.

assaultislove You're right, although the shows Betty did when she first started out were all live, so she's familiar with performing in front if live audiences!

Golden Girls itself was filmed in front of a live audience, so this wasn't much different than what they did every week, except for the empty set.

Estelle was always nervous as fuck... She wasn't a live performer. It was probably the dementia already... She would frooze and forget all her lines. Poor Estelle...

Victor Rodrigues aawwwwww 😔😟

She does seema bit nervy

That line is brilliant! 😅

Gossip. Queen Mother.

It was the Queen Mother, not Queen Elizabeth.

Hahahahahahahaha. What?

"Follah" 🤣

wow

@@MsEliteForever 1

jess thanks I missed it. I am so proud of them. As an American I know what a privilege It was then.

May she rest

robynsegg wouldn't it have been an excellent play?!

umm were watching a play here dear.

justjess1986 well not really, more of a skit, it’s part of a larger entertainment show as part of the royal variety. They get their segment not a whole evening

This is still true.

Unfortunately, we've lost Betty now. They'll always live on in our hearts.

Now, they are all together in heaven. RIP to them all. 🙏

💖⚘⚘⚘⚘

Well it was filmed before a live audience in Hollywood too.

Allison Barrett Same here!

Every single person in theatre/Broadway makes mistakes. I promise. Life goes on.

I will say everyone makes mistakes but with the real pros, u never even notice really.

It's called acting, darling!

Oh Lord! In front of royalty in another country no less... Actually, many of these performers may have that night, but they were so incredibly talented no one even knew or noticed lol

They did amazing.. And all this was in front of the queen mother and princess Margaret. The girls being there was also at the request of the queen mother as well

Did she break character on 8:12

Or not really?

JD Smith Betty White is an incredibly funny and talented woman.

Did you ever see her as Sue Ann on the Mary Tyler Moore Show?

She’s absolutely beautiful.

JD Smith The smartest one of the bunch!

Shes adorable

2024 now by watching And also rest in peace them all 4 of them 😭

My parents loved this show. Now that I'm 63 I 'rediscovered' it and watch it every time it's on.

Omg we loved it here in England. Me and my late mum used to watch them together. We knew every word. Still do.

They actually combined a few of the episodes linesbfrom earlier seasons (1 & 2) respectively

Charlie Lo Piccs That was her mother.

@@KJC21793. Who was known as Queen Elizabeth herself when her husband was king....

@@KJC21793. They were both Queen Elizabeth.

Still can't believe all of them are gone... Miss them all.

@@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643SAME 😭😭😭😭

Not exactly rocket science; the stuff they say to each other when men ain’t looking would fill several libraries at one outing!

Rue who played blanche was only in her 50s

QueenCersei Lannister no she did theater first. She didn't have what u call stage fright per see. She was anxious cause she was new,to TV.

QueenCersei Lannister She almost messed up in the beginning, but she was so great! I hate that she didn't realize it.

@@thelegendofthem6120 where did she almost mess up?

Delana Trujillo-Johnson Delana Trujillo-Johnson I think one I caught where she almost stumbled was at...00:34 but I might've caught another I'm trying to look through it but I'm at the gym...

This was early in the run, but as time went on her dementia became more apparent.

The show still comes on all the time. Tvland during the late morning and the Hallmark channel during the weekdays after 10pm

So much talent. And charm

We must protect Betty White at all costs.

Singing for them: thank you for being a friend traveled down the road and back again, when your heart is true, you're a pal and a confident, if you threw a party invited everyone you knew, you would see the biggest gift it would be for me, and the card attached word say "thank you for being a friend"

I still can't believe that they're all gone, and I'm not ashamed to admit that that fact hurts a lot. RIP Estelle Getty (July 25, 1923 - July 22, 2008), Bea Arthur (May 13, 1922 - April 25, 2009), Rue McClanahan (February 21, 1934 - June 3, 2010), and Betty White (January 17, 1922 - December 31, 2021). You will all be missed. A lot.

Ronnie who?

@@morseybilly2409 did she mean Betty? Or Rose?

@@groovycookie6032 Not sure. I heard that name, I thought it was a The Golden Girls crew or someone reputable regarding TGG success... Still haven't found out.

@@morseybilly2409 Ronnie Corbett was the short man who introduced them onto stage at the start. He died about three years ago too. A british comic institution as one half of the duo The Two Ronnies. Which sounds odd now I come to type it but is completely true.
