That quote is actually a flub in the show. On an earlier episode when Blanche's old Nanny (Ruby Dee) comes to visit, she gets mad at Blanche and calls her out by her full name "Blache Marie Hallingsworth"

No mention of the name Marie.

Blanche Devereaux is the best Golden Girl!

Blanche: "He is so sophisticated and charming and rich and handsome. He fairly screams Blanche. At least he will when I'm through with him."

I recently sat my bare ass on a toilet right after Miss Rue McClanahan had vacated it. Who wants to touch me?

I love the episode where Blanche and Rose are dressed up as nuns after doing The Sound of Music and when they get home a real priest is there!!!!!!

Also, the one where Blanche uses her grand-daughter to get a date with a younger man!!!!!! Funny stuff!!!!!!


Also, I think that she might have been the best Golden Girl, because it was her best work on TV. Bea Arthur was best in Maude and Betty White as Sue Ellen Niven in The Mary Tyler Moore Show(however, both were great in The Golden Girls!!!!!!). However, Rue was her best on the Golden Girls....believe me Aunt Fran, from Momma's family doesn't beat Blanche!!!!!! I guess you could also say that it was Estelle Getty's best TV work too......

Me FIRST, Rath!

Will they let a gentleman with an "alternative sexual lifestyle" visit the Ladies' Room?

If they let Bea Arthur in, I'm sure you're safe M_E.

(I LOVE the Nuns' Episode as well!!!)


Dorothy: There's a HUGE tropical storm coming this way--we could be trapped together for DAYS!!!

Blanche (dressed as Nun): Oh, Jesus!

Blanche (recovers): Jesus, PLEASE stand over us and protect us in this hour of need!!!

All: Amen!

COOL, Matt!


Hey Rath, which Ladies' Room do I need to visit?


And MA--Rue McClanhan is from OKLAHOMA?


Why, that's right next door to Texas! We're neighbors!

Note of Trivia: (Hey, you knew it was comin'!)


When the first pilot of "The Golden Girls" was shot, Rue McClanhan was cast as ROSE and Betty White was cast as Blanche.

BOTH were bored with their assignments--McClanahan thought she was reclycling the character 'Fran' she had just played on MAMA'S FAMILY and White thought 'Blanche' was just 'Sue Anne Nivens'--with a Southern Accent.


So somebody came up with the brilliant idea of the two SWITCHING roles--and they stumbled upon the perfect casting for the show.

It's downstairs on the theater level, right across from the audience entrance to the theater itself. Good luck!

I really try to have proper manners at shows. I am afraid I may give Rue a standing ovation upon her entrance...
