Welcome to this little corner of #Bluesky dedicated to the incomparable #beaarthur. Bea was famous for her wit, comedic timing, sarcasm, singing voice, stage presence, and of course, for her #restingbeaface. Hopefully the photos, memes, and memories you'll find here will brighten your day. ๐งก
I got to see this really interesting, wonderful documentary on the brilliant Bea Arthur today. Thank you filmmaker @dancindanw Find info on IG - beaarthurdoc
Bea Arthur thought John Cleese was brilliant & so agreed to be in a 1983 American remake of Fawlty Towers called โAmandaโs By The Seaโ.
Sadly the network kept watering it down until she was playing Maude again.
13 episodes were produced, with 3 remaining unaired following the series' cancellation.
The April 24, 1976 TV Guide feature story profiled the success of Maude amid the overall topic of politics on TV

Dr. Halperin: Well, Dorothy, it sounds like you're a little hostile toward the monkey. You want to talk about it?
Dorothy: What's to talk about? I had to ride in the back seat all the way over. Stan said the monkey called shotgun.
