‘Golden Girls' Creatives Spill the Tea on Bitter Feud Between Betty White and Bea Arthur — and Making a Classic Anyway
Creatives behind The Golden Girls shared funny and, at times, very candid behind-the-scenes stories — namely, among the long-rumored feud between stars Betty White and Bea Arthur — during a 40th-anniversary celebration of the long-running hit show on Wednesday night. The sold-out event, held at NeueHouse Hollywood as part of the monthlong Pride LIVE! Hollywood festival, featured a panel of writers, producers and others who worked on the show, which ran for seven seasons on NBC, from 1985-92. The series, created by Susan Harris, starred Bea Arthur as Dorothy Zbornak, Betty White as Rose Nylund, Rue McClanahan as Blanche Devereaux and Estelle Getty as Sophia Petrillo. (The Hollywood Reporter is the presenting media sponsor of Pride LIVE! Hollywood.) More from The Hollywood Reporter K-pop Star Bain is Ready to Open a New Chapter Following Historic Coming Out: "I Can Finally Be Free" The 'Wizard of Oz' of Gay Erotica OUTtv: They're Here, They're Queer, They're Canadian! Co-producer Marsha Posner Williams brought up a topic that has been much-discussed and speculated on: whether Arthur and White got along in real life. 'When that red light was on [and the show was filming], there were no more professional people than those women, but when the red light was off, those two couldn't warm up to each other if they were cremated together,' she quipped. Arthur 'used to call me at home and say, 'I just ran into that c' — meaning White, using the c-word — 'at the grocery store. I'm gonna write her a letter,' and I said, 'Bea, just get over it for crying out loud. Just get past it.'' In fact, the panelists shared that Arthur called White the c-word more than once. 'I remember, my husband and I went over to Bea's house a couple of times for dinner. Within 30 seconds of walking in the door, the c-word came out,' Williams said, and Thurm noted that he heard Arthur call White that word as well while sitting next to her on a flight. It's a story he shared a few years ago on a podcast and then got surprised at the internet's response over his revelation. The panelists differed on their theories about why the two didn't get along. Co-producer Jim Vallely thought it was because White got a lot more applause during cast introductions ahead of tapings, but Williams shot that down, noting that Arthur hated doing publicity and came from a different background (theatrical) than White (television). 'The show would have continued after seven years,' she shared. 'Their contracts were up and … the executives went to the ladies, and Estelle said, 'Yes, let's keep going,' and Rue said, 'Yes let's keep going,' and Betty said, 'Yes, let's keep going.' And Bea said 'no fucking way,' and that's why that show didn't continue. … And Betty would break character in the middle of the show [and talk to the live audience], and Bea hated that.' Script supervisor Isabel Omero remembered it differently, noting that the two used to walk 'arm in arm' to get notes together after the first of two tapings. Williams joked that was in case they were walking across the lot and a golf cart got out of control, suggesting that one of them might push the other in front of it. Casting director Joel Thurm was there from the beginning for the casting of all four leading ladies. He shared that Brandon Tartikoff, then-head of NBC Entertainment, originally did not want Arthur in the show, but Harris was dead-set on her, having previously worked with the actress on Maude (she wrote several episodes, including the legendary abortion episode). Thurm said Tartikoff's resistance to casting Arthur had to do with her low Q scores in likability. '[This] created a big problem, but I never knew how dug in Susan was, because I just wasn't in the room where those kind of discussions happened,' he shared. 'So my job, according to Brandon, was to find someone that Susan would be happy with instead of Bea Arthur. I should have realized that she wouldn't have been happy with anybody besides Bea, but I was too naive, and I thought, 'Oh, I have someone. Her name is Elaine Stritch. She has the same acidic quality, you know, stare at you and give you the same thing that Bea does.'' Thurm shared that when Stritch came in for her audition, 'None of the people associated with Golden Girls wanted her. So this woman had to walk into a freezer of an office and try to make it funny. Stritch asked Susan one thing, it was something like, 'Is it OK if I change something?' And Susan said, 'Yes, only the punctuation.' There was no love in that room. I felt so sorry for poor Stritch because she wasn't her fault. She didn't do anything. And had I known that, that Susan was immovable on this, I wouldn't have done what I did and then try to find somebody else.' Williams, however, shared a different view of Stritch. 'I want to just say that I worked on a pilot, and Elaine Stritch was a guest star for one day,' she chimed in. 'Before the day was half over, we were calling her 'Elaine Bitch.'' Meanwhile, Getty, who was then an unknown actress, came in to her audition and nailed it: 'She did her homework and prepared for the part,' Thurm said, noting she was the first one of the four leads to be cast. Incidentally, Cher was supposed to guest-star in the episode focusing on the death of Sophia's son, playing his wife, but she never replied to the offer, and Brenda Vaccaro was cast instead. The event kicked off with a highlights reel of some of the show's LGBTQ moments, including Blanche's brother coming out as gay, Sophia's coming to terms with her cross-dressing son and a politician's revelation that he was transgender. But behind the scenes, things weren't so progressive, shared writer Stan Zimmerman. 'People have to remember back then, we were told by a representatives to stay in the closet, so nobody knew we were gay,' he shared. 'Our first day on the set, we noticed Estelle come running towards us, and she's like … 'I know. Your secret's safe with me. You're one of us.' I thought she meant Jewish,' he quipped. 'But she meant gay. She wasn't gay, but she was probably the first ally ever.' Zimmerman added that he was telling his co-workers how he had bought some vintage sweaters at a garage sale one day, and they told him to 'go home and burn those sweaters because it was probably somebody that died of AIDS. … That was the climate then.' I know you see all these progressive scenes and you think, 'Oh, it was one big gay party there,' but we couldn't be who we really were.' Omero, who came out as transgender in 2019, shared that she was in the closet for all seven seasons of the show. She said that one day, Arthur offered to give her an Indian sari that she had picked up on a trip. 'In my closeted, panicked, paranoid brain, all I knew is that at that moment Bea Arthur was offering me a dress to wear around the house, and I wish I had been in a place where I could have said something, to even accept the gift without ever using it, just so I could express something to someone. But fear and shame is a big thing,' Omero said. Asked why The Golden Girls tackled so many different LGBTQ issues, Vallely replied: 'I think it's because we knew … we had a gay audience. They would play [the show] in [gay] bars across the country. … It was a big deal for middle America to see these women embrace the gay culture.' The panel, which also featured story editor Rick Copp and was moderated by New York Times bestselling author Jim Colucci (Golden Girls Forever), ended with a highlights package of cut scenes from the pilot, which originally featured a live-in gay housekeeper and cook named Coco, who was played by Charles Levin. The character was cut from the show because Sophia — initially meant to be a recurring character — was so popular that they made Getty a regular; unfortunately for Levin, that meant another character had to be cut. Among those in the audience were actress Deena Freeman, who played Dorothy's daughter Kate in an episode of the show, and production designer Michael Hynes.

5 things GTA 6 can do better than Red Dead Redemption 2
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterpiece. It gave us cinematic storytelling, insane realism, and an open world that felt alive . But let's not ignore the facts: some parts of RDR2 felt too slow, too clunky, or just plain frustrating. With GTA 6 set to launch in May 2026, Rockstar has a golden chance to take the best of RDR2, and level it up . Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Here are 5 things GTA 6 can (and should) do better than RDR2. 1. Make the World Fun AND Realistic RDR2 was crazy immersive, but sometimes... a little too slow . Skinning animations took forever, and Arthur's sluggish pace got tiring fast. GTA 6 can strike a better balance between realism and fun. Let us enjoy the immersive world of Leonida without having to brush our car's tires every five minutes. Give us detail, yes—but keep it snappy . Red Dead Redemption 2s Combat Is NOT Good... 2. Modern Movement and Combat Let's be real: Arthur Morgan's movement was clunky. He'd trip over fences or get stuck in doorways like it was his first day with legs. Combat, while cinematic, often felt stiff and repetitive. GTA 6 can change that. Give us fluid movement like modern action games. Tight gunplay. Smooth cover mechanics. Something that feels fun , not frustrating. Lucia and Jason deserve better mobility than Arthur ever had. 3. Better Urban Chaos Red Dead was great, but you weren't exactly blowing stuff up in Saint Denis. GTA thrives on urban madness — speeding through traffic, launching rockets off rooftops, robbing stores in the middle of rush hour. GTA 6's Vice City and Leonida can give us the dense, reactive cities RDR2 never had. Let us feel like every block has something going on — from street races to cop chases to viral stunts. Bring the mayhem back. GTA 6 Character Customization | Everything We Know! 4. Deeper Customization RDR2 let you dress up Arthur like a cowboy Ken doll, but GTA needs to go next level . Clothes, cars, weapons, apartments, social profiles — we want it all, and we want it personalized. GTA 6 should let players own their criminal lifestyle, from Lucia's fits to Jason's safehouse setup. We're in 2026 — if we can't dye our car seats neon pink and stream it live, what are we even doing? 5. Less Micromanagement, More Fun Feeding your horse, cleaning your guns, trimming your beard — cool the first time, annoying the next 50 . Tired of too many ads? go ad free now RDR2 went hard on realism, but GTA should focus on fun first. Let us skip the chores. Make systems optional. Nobody's logging in to maintain their criminal hygiene. GTA 6 should be about action , not animal grooming. RDR2 walked so GTA 6 can steal a car and speed off into the neon sunset . If Rockstar nails these five things, they're not just making a better game — they're making the best GTA ever.

Bea Arthur called Betty White a ‘c–t' often, ‘Golden Girls' producer claims — why'd they clash?
Not so golden. 'Golden Girls' co-producer Marsha Posner Williams opened up about Betty White and Bea Arthur's rumored feud during an event celebrating the hit sitcom's 40th anniversary in Los Angeles on Wednesday. 'When that red light was on [and the show was filming], there were no more professional people than those women, but when the red light was off, those two couldn't warm up to each other if they were cremated together,' she said, per The Hollywood Reporter. Williams recalled that Arthur 'used to call me at home and say, 'I just ran into that [C-word] at the grocery store. I'm gonna write her a letter,' and I said, 'Bea, just get over it for crying out loud. Just get past it.'' 11 Bea Arthur, left, and Betty White, right, in 'The Golden Girls.' Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images The producer continued, 'I remember, my husband and I went over to Bea's house a couple of times for dinner. Within 30 seconds of walking in the door, the c-word came out [to describe White].' 'The Golden Girls' aired aired on NBC from 1985 to 1992, following four older single women sharing a home in Florida while navigating their 'golden' years. There was Southern Belle widow Blanche (Rue McClanahan), Minnesota born widow, Rose (White), Brooklyn born divorcee Dorothy (Arthur), and Dorothy's Sicilian mother, Sophia (Estelle Getty). 11 Rue McClanahan, Bea Arthur, Betty White, and Estelle Getty in 'The Golden Girls.'

Todd Williamson Getty died in 2008 at age 84, McClanahan died in 2010 at age 76, White died in 2021 at age 99, and Arthur died in 2009 at age 86. Producers speculated about the source of White and Arthur's animosity. Co-producer Jim Vallely said he thought it was because White got more applause during cast introductions. But, Williams, disagreed, and thought they clashed over their different backgrounds, since Arthur had a theater background while White came from TV. 11 Rye McClanahan, Betty White, and Bea Arthur in 'The Golden Girls.' Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images 11 Betty White and Bea Arthur in 'The Golden Girls.' Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images It's also previously been speculated that the feud came from jealousy, as White was the show's first cast member to be nominated for a Best Actress Emmy in 1986. In the 2016-published 'Golden Girls Forever' biography, author Jim Colucci noted that Arthur remained in character during taping, while White relaxed between shots and joked around with the live studio audience. 'I think my mom didn't dig that,' Arthur's adopted son, Matthew Saks, told the Hollywood Reporter in 2016, seven years after she died of cancer at 86. 'It's more about being focused or conserving your energy. It's just not the right time to talk to fans between takes. Betty was able to do it and it didn't seem to affect her. But it rubbed my mom the wrong way.' 11 Betty White and Bea Arthur sign copies of 'The Golden Gilrs Season 3' DVD at Barnes & Noble on November 22, 2005 in New York City.

Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images White revealed her side of the story in 2011, saying in an interview, 'Bea had a reserve. She was not that fond of me. She found me a pain in the neck sometimes. It was my positive attitude — and that made Bea mad sometimes. Sometimes if I was happy, she'd be furious!' This isn't the first time this allegation of Arthur using the c-word has surfaced. During a 2022 episode of The Originals podcast, the show's casting director, Joel Thurm, said, 'Literally Bea Arthur, who I cast in something else later on, just said, 'Oh, she's a f–king c–t,' using that word [about White].'

Rue McClanahan said it to me in Joe Allen's [restaurant]; Bea Arthur [when she was] on the set of 'Beggars and Choosers.' ' Thrum recalled how Getty — who died in 2008 at 84 from Lewy body dementia — began having issues memorizing her lines on-set. 'And she would write the lines on her hand, and … Betty White would make fun of her in front of the live audience,' he said. 'That may seem like a minor transgression, but it really does get to you … I have no idea how Estelle Getty felt, but I know the other two did not like [White] at all.' 11 Estelle Getty as Sophia Petrillo; Bea Arthur as Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak; Betty White as Rose Nylund; Rue McClanahan as Blanche Devereaux in 'The Golden Girls.'

'Betty would break character in the middle of the show [and talk to the live audience], and Bea hated that,' she said. Williams also said that the rest of the cast was game to continue past seven seasons, but Arthur was the one who wanted to end it. 'The show would have continued after seven years. Their contracts were up and … the executives went to the ladies, and Estelle said, 'Yes, let's keep going,' and Rue said, 'Yes let's keep going,' and Betty said, 'Yes, let's keep going,'' she recalled. But, she added, 'And Bea said, 'No f—ing way,' and that's why that show didn't continue.'

Arthur Gourounlian shares weight loss secret after shedding 9lbs in just 28 days
Dancing With The Stars judge Arthur Gourounlian has revealed he has dropped 9lbs in 28 days. The Armenian-born choreographer began a health transformation last month after feeling like he was beginning to struggle running after his two young children, Blu and Blake. Since undergoing his health journey, he said he has lost an incredible 4.3kg (9lbs) of body fat, in just 28 days. 'It's honestly been fantastic,' Arthur shared. 'I didn't think a 20- minute weights session could make such a big difference—but the results speak for themselves, just look at me!' Determined to kick off his summer feeling strong and energised, Arthur worked with Educogym in Dundrum in Dublin to start his transformation. 'As daddy of my two babies, and with multiple dance, TV and video projects on the go, time is always a challenge,' Arthur admitted. 'But Educogym made it 'doable'. Just 20 minutes a session, 3 times a week, I could train, work, have fun with the girls, and still feel like I'd done something powerful for myself. That balance has been priceless.' Using advanced BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) technology, with a special 'In Body' scanner, Jamie and his team at Educogym pinpoint exactly where the body needs to change—tailoring every exercise rep, set, and meal to maximise fat loss and muscle gain. 'The secret is resistance training, great nutrition and a dedicated mindset,' says Jamie. 'We help people visualise who they want to become—fitter, stronger, more alive. Arthur had that vision from day one. He knew what he wanted to achieve, he was committed and focused. That's what powers real transformation. 'We actually lose an average of ½ lb of muscle each year once we reach the age of 30, so it is important to maintain strength and muscle tone for overall health,' said Jamie. 'Certainly, there is no magic wand to stop the effects of ageing but with our help, and with this programme people can see results very quickly.' Arthur told us previously at the Platinum VIP Style Awards: 'It's only a 20 minute workout, but it's all about the food. And I'm learning, instead of eating five sandwiches, I'm going for one. And it's kind of like, makes me feel good. And now I feel bad if I eat lots of chocolate. 'Instead of having five million KitKats, I'm having one, just a little taste, but I haven't had any sweets. It feels good. 'I have two kids. I just want to run after them. You know, longevity. 'I knew I was getting heavy after being a dancer. I was like, 'my legs are getting heavy.' 'I've got always so much energy, energy I always have. But I was like, You know what? I'm getting heavy. I'm going to try to look after myself.'
