Love when she talked about marriages lasting so many years doesn't necessarily make it successful. So true. Her candor is so very Sophia. 😊

I'm so glad that these clips are on KZfaq. Estelle is wonderful.

even when she isn't dressed as Sophia...she is still Sophia....I love Estelle Rest In Peace...

Oh you know she loved Rosie A LOT if she did this. Estelle was painfully shy and public-anxiety ridden. You can tell she warms up a bit, but oh so reserved. It goes to show the level of talent and professionalism she had to face her fear every time she worked. There will never be another like our beloved Estelle

OMG, Estelle's end joke was hysterical!

2022 and Estelle and the Golden Girls are still a golden treasure, they have all gone to through those golden gates now but, will forever live in our hearts and history for eternity. We all still love you Estelle and miss you dearly.

Wow. I know she had a history of stage fright so to see her doing a stand-alone interview is shocking to me. I love Sophia.😍

Signs were already showing that year.. Love you, Estelle! ❤

I miss her so much.

Golden Girls is my favorite show ever.

I loved Estelle Getty in the golden girls she was absolutely wonderful! I can’t believe she’s been gone for 13 years she truly was amazing! Keep these videos coming Rosie they’re hilarious and I’d be so happy if you decide to bring the show back seriously hopefully will get to see you again on tv

You are so gentle and helpful to her. Thank you for honoring her. Estelle is a treasure. 💛

I miss her she was the funniest and added the fun to the golden girls! They were all funny all my favorite! The golden girls!❤

Estelle Getty played the role of Sophia brilliantly, I love the Golden Girls.

Thank you for posting all these old interviews Rosie!! Love you and Estelle. Golden Girls is one of the best sitcoms ever!

I missed this episode; 'cause I would have never forgotten Estelle Getty!! I have such regard for her -- she was a powerhouse and her life's reach and legacy lives on with each new laugh and caring thought her character causes us to experience. Thank you Estelle and thank you ROSIE for posting this!! :) And thank you for being so kind and gracious when my friend and I met you in New York City; you didn't have to stay and chat with us for those minutes--still one of my fondest memories!

this is such a lovely interview, thank you for posting Rosie

I love this for so many different reasons. Yup..that's me and my wife in the forefront of the audience in the beginning of the clip and I asked one of the questions --- which one was the oldest. Jeez Louis!!!

One truly amazing lady. She cared for people who were dying from AIDS back in the early 80s. ❤❤

Wow thank you again Rosie!

Love these! Keep posting and thank you, Ro and team!!

Estelle's answer to the question at 8:15 was perfect

These are such a treat!!! And thanks so much for the amazing video quality!!!

I Love Estelle Getty!! may she continue to rest in peace!!

Thank you for posting this. What a special person she was! There was a certain charm about her and still very witty.

Thank you!!!!!!!! This is gorgeous

How delightful!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Thank you Rosie for posting you've always been such a delightful person you and Estelle get along great❤❤

Love Rosie thought she was a great host & thought Estelle was great as well. Loved the. Both . Wish Rosie all the. Best and Estelle to rest in heavenly peace!

“Can you keep a secret? So can I” Brilliant!!

I’ve been a GG fan since the show was new in the late ‘80s. I was very young, but remember watching it with family and laughing even though I didn’t understand what they were talking about. As the ‘90s came in, my love for the show grew stronger, and by the time I graduated high school in the ‘00s, I could quote every episode. At that time, people my age would make fun of me for liking a show that was what they thought for an older audience. I never cared and proudly displayed my love for GG. Enter now days, the whole world is talking about the show and loves it all over again. I’ve always been an old soul, and appreciate classic things. The GG was a once in a lifetime show, and I’m so glad I got to grow up watching it first time around when these four actresses were still here. Such wonderful memories. To have a time machine…

Estelle Getty did not have stage fright during interviews - if you see her in interviews from 1985 and the late 80's she was quite witty and outgoing. What the issue here with The Rosie Show was that she was starting to show signs of the dementia with Lewy bodies disease that she came down with (and eventually died from in 2008). Some say as soon as 1992, during the last year of Golden Girls she started showing signs.

Dearest Rosie, we never got your show where I grew up in Sweden but I already love you from this interview and you make me want to watch every clip of every guest you´ve had on. A lot of talk show hosts can learn from you, you have heart and compassion, you let your guests talk, you don´t interrupt them. Big fan!

Loved Estelle - poor woman was clearly suffering here - everything about her, her movements, her speech was slow and odd - go back less than 10 years in interviews and she was like a live wire! God bless her - Sophia is my favourite character ever

She reminded me so much like my Nana.😁

These clips are priceless I still watch golden girls every day 👏🙏🖐🍾🏆💋🇮🇱

Friggin Awesome!

I have to laugh at her best friend Rodah she looks like she's out of Shady Pines 😄 rip girls x you may be gone but you're going to live on forever

“You’ve been married for 49 yrs what’s the secret?” In the most Sophia way “How the hell should I know?”

One of our TOP Actresses ever!! ❤️ We enjoyed her Talent for many years 🌹

I really love her personality. So demure, and sweet.

What a great performer Estelle was. Love this.

Rip Estelle great interview Rosie😁🇨🇦🇨🇦

Love this ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I loved Estelle, I miss the golden girls. Glad that Betty is still around.

i love you Rosie ... ♥♥♥

It's so weird hearing her say "I'm Jewish" lol. Love her so much ❤

Estelle demeanor in this interview reminded me of my aunt who died of Parkinson’s disease . I just found out Estelle had lewy body dementia which is similar in some ways to Parkinson’s .

Rossie is wonderful...great interviews.

Hell, Golden Girls is still strong today, it's so damned good!

Estelle WAS Sophia! I love her! ❤️

estelle played sophia so well because she was sophia 💯

Even off the show she still had the Sophia aditude R.I.P. Estelle Getty

Watching this compared to an interview she did in 1986- it’s like watching two different people. She was so outgoing and engaging but here she seemed very reserved and withdrawn. It’s so sad how dementia steals your personality and life.

She was such a gentle soul ❤

She was such a gem!

Rosie was really really good. I enjoyed her interactions with her guests.

What an amazing woman.

Estelle Getty is one of the best RIP

What has always been shocking about Estelle is her humility among other big actors yet, she was one of the brightest lights in the industry.

Great Actress, Great woman.

LOVE HER ❤

❤️❤️❤️

She was suffering from dementia at this point. She started showing the beginnings in the last season of TGG. She didn’t make too many appearances after this. Her last role was in “Stuart Little” in 1999. I can’t remember if she had a speaking role, though.

I still couldn’t believe that she was the youngest cast member even though she played Sophia petrillo! All four of the women were wonderful. Estelle effortlessly brought Sophia’s spirit

This interview is a little sad. Estelle was already suffering from the dementia that would eventually kill her. And she didn’t have a particularly good marriage. They separated when she took jobs in Hollywood, and he remained in New York. And I guess he eventually moved to Florida.

I remember her as Sophia from The Golden Girls! She was funny and hilarious on that show! 🤣

Estelle ♥️♥️♥️

Sophia is doing a passable Estelle Getty impression.

She is so soft and intentional with her words. Wish I was more like this sometimes. Any tips introverts?

Rip

Estelle 🥰🥰

Can you please please please post more of Estelle Getty🥺please

❤️

She was so funny.

I saw a lot of Sophia in this interview.

I love Sophia too ❤️

Exactly. A long-ass marriage doesn't mean it's successful

I wished Estelle was my grandmother

Estelle Getty was a fun funny gifted lady and Enjoyed loved her best on The Golden Girls and a movie she did with Andrew Mcarthy and Kim Katral in 1987 but cant spell it and dont want to be made fun of for not knowing how to spell it .

I love her! Hahahahahahahahaha

BRAVA attrice 🌹 molto molto molto brava nel film con Stallone ❤fu davvero simpatica... molto molto molto simpatica. Riposa in Pace ☮️ baby 🙏🖐️🎬

"As if!" OMG

She actually was quite a bit like Sophia IRL :D

So can I is really Funny!!!!!

Back in the day when there was such a thing as a long distance phone call.

She and Bea were Jewish. They used to laugh in the face of the fact they played Italians. But brilliant and what a trooper

I never knew that Estelle didnt have a good marriage and they lived in different states. May she rest easy 💔

According to her bio, by this time, mid to late 90s - she was suffering from early dementia. 😢

So can I 😂

Dementia was setting in pretty bad here she's reading cue cards. For much of the run of GGs, she had her lines written all over the set. She was a pistol, though

She seams to be a bit sick here :(

wonder if when Estelle Getty played "Sophia" it was based on an exaggeration of her mother in law

the purse was because she forget his lines too. There was some lines wrote on it.

i came here to hear what her real accent sounded like lol

She was so soft spoken in real life. Very different from Sophia.

just think altimers starting in her

Estelle had the highest Q rating ever? When did she get dementia?

I think you could see the start of her dementia even in this interview

Rosie had such a good thing going with her (albeit fake) Queen of Nice image. But she just couldn't keep her yap shut.
