@tjmooney Can you post the rest of this show??

[tjmooney]

@MichaelJacksonFan863 I'd love to, but I don't have it. Sorry!

[Mike6E]

I have never seen a thing that Betty White couldn't do.

[saugagirl83]

Betty and Bea rock. PERIOD.

[ttiiyy]

Why didn't Bea dance like this on the Golden Girls? I remember there's one episode where Betty and Rue sang and danced together.

@applesauce2100 i think you mean 45.5 hours. But who's counting. lol =-)

@RodTalon0000 Old school Hollywood was such different back in those days they could do it all. New School Hollywood now are talentless as long as they're Kim Kardashin and Lindsay Lohan with reality shows and going to jail and having 72 hr marriages that there only talent they have

@MyLalinea My guess is 1973 on Dinah's Place.

@spartacus3ful Bea got top billing, but she was not the sole star of the show. Bea, Betty, and Rue were the three ensemble leads in the show and Estelle was the only supporting act, although Estelle is often times seen as just as much of a lead as the others. Bea only got top billing because she was the bigger name at the time (because of Maude).

Rose, hand me that newspaper...

@spartacus3ful I don't think Bea really disliked Betty It's just that they were so different. Susan Harris supposedly said that Betty asked her once why Bea treated her they way she does & she responded by saying you know how Bea is. Bea came from a stage background & Betty television. Susan Harris said that Bea treated the Golden Girls set they same way she would a staged production by not acknowledging audience. While Betty interacted & was very playfull with them & it irked Bea.
