Thanks for sharing! One of my fondest memories is watching <I>Golden Girls</I> with my college roommate, Crissy, and speculating which one we would grow up to be. She inevitably chose Blanche, and I'll probably be a Rose, but I secretly longed to become a Dorothy.

Sure they were cantankerous at times (Sophia) and maybe not that bright (Rose), but it wasn't because they were older. It was because they were people, and sometimes people are cranky and ditzy. Blanche wasn't punished for being, shall we say, loose, and Dorothy was a strong woman who stood up for what she believed and didn't let anyone push her around. And I have a strong feeling a lot of what made Dorothy such an amazing character came from Bea Arthur herself.Maggie Catshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09883765124150271927noreply@blogger.com
