    Special Thanks to Nauseous for making this possible!!!!!

    The Secret Life of Bea Arthur

    We all know and love her from shows like The Golden Girls, Maude and All in the Family, but this tall, deep-voiced, demure actress has had a far less wholesome past than the innocence of her television roles would lead one to believe. For over fifteen years, NBC has been trying to cover up the truth about Bea Arthur and her career as one of the Golden Girls, but now the story is finally out. And you can read it only here.

    With about 180 individual episodes under its belt and numerous awards, there is no doubt that The Golden Girls was one of the most successful sitcoms ever. Bea Arthur played the memorable character Dorothy Zbornak, a divorced substitute teacher in her fifties. Her character was often the intelligence and common sense of all the girls, offering advice and guidance to even her own mother. She enjoyed quiet nights at home alone, reading, and playing Jeopardy. What a contrast it was to the woman she was in real life!


    At around 6 feet tall, Bea Arthur is an imposing figure. Her masculine mannerisms, and coarse, deep voice only serve to amplify her attractiveness. One can only wonder what the producers at NBC thought upon receiving her publicity photos and watching her audition! Originally, Bea had auditioned for the part of Blanche Devereaux, a sexually promiscuous southern belle, but she was denied the part when it was given to Rue McLanahan instead. Her role in Maude had tired her, and she longed for something new and different. Dejected by the loss, but not one to give up, she accepted the part of Dorothy instead.

    It did not take long for everyone involved to realize there were going to be problems. Bea's jealousy of Rue for "stealing" her part quickly manifested itself at the show's tapings, where she would spontaneously change neutral or light-hearted comments into vicious personal attacks, and then claim she had mislearned her lines. On many occasions, she referred to Rue as a slut on camera; Heaven only knows what she said when it wasn't recording.

    Bea quickly proved herself to be very popular on the show, and the producers and crew members hoped that her success would eliminate her need for the childish behaviour. Unfortunately, her stunts only became more daring and elaborate, and her open rebellion more vocal, as she desperately tried to garner attention away from the radiant Rue McLanahan. In one particularly nasty turn of events, Bea heartlessly took advantage of a promotional photo shoot near the beginning of the series as an opportunity to flaunt a lace bustier and patent spike heels. While the photos were printed in a limited run by the National Enquirer and Star, NBC was able to promptly discredit them as fakes, and the situation grew silent -- for a while. In a matter of less than two months, Bea was at it again, and more furiously than ever before.

    During the break between the filming of the first season and the beginning of the second, in another attempt to usurp McLanahan's title as the beauty of the show, Bea underwent cosmetic surgery. She received the first of what would ultimately be four series of breast implants. She also began staging elaborate, private photo shoots for a possible Playboy centrefold, but the magazine's plans fell through at the last minute and her feature spot was handed over to actress Lily Tomlin instead.

    With each subsequent defeat, Bea's already fragile ego deflated further and further. As the series progressed, her character wore more and more makeup, going from lightly made-up at the beginning of the series, to bright red lipstick and darkly-penciled eyes on a weekly basis nearer to the end. Her bra size grew to compensate for these new feelings of inadequacy, and the costumers on the show began having her wear loose, bulky sweaters to conceal the obvious changes from the show's inquisitive fan base.

    Bea made a plea with the show's producer in its sixth season to allow her character more freedom for expression. While McLanahan's character was allowed to bring home a new male aquaintance nearly ever episode, Bea's character remained prudishly alone on the weekends. To make matters worse, McLanahan and the producers had been inserting dialogue into the script for the other characters to mock Dorothy for her lack of a social life. When Bea's request to allow her character to have blonde hair, instead of the varying shades of grey she had over the past seasons, was denied, she resorted to wearing wigs in her photographs. Often she would come into the studio fresh after one of her photo sessions and flaunt herself wearing lingerie on the set. The friction between Bea, McLanahan, and the rest of the crew would ground production to a halt for literally days at a time.

    The Golden Girls might have gone on into its eighth season, but in 1991, Bea announced that she no longer wished to continue with the show. Her official statement to the press was that she had grown increasingly unhappy with the direction the show was going, and was displeased with the way her character had been written for what would have been the 1992-1993 season. However, most of the cast and crew knew the real reason she quit: she was suffering from severe depression, and her health was beginning to show signs of weakening due to all the surgery and stress she had put on herself.

    While The Golden Girls did produce two spinoff shows, both of them were canceled within a year. There was simply no chemistry between the members of Golden Girls without Dorothy. Somewhere in the world, Bea Arthur was secretly smiling.


    I Have a theory about the following picture:
    Tell me what your theory is.



    Basically what I believe is going on in this picture is that Dorothy is sitting on her bed at home after a hot fantasy about getting it on with stan. Dorothy takes the liberty to sexually stimulate her eager cunt, right as dorothy starts the process of self gratification Ma walks in!!!! AND freeze!! the picture is dorothy trying to cover up her massive tits and screaming ma!

    Lets Honor Bea 2gether!!!
