She looks like the mother of a Solid Gold dancer.

It's a safe bet that Bea had never had a cocoa candy in her mouth ... yet she must have had balls to sing about in the midst of the Golden Girls run

It's hard here to remember she was a musical comedy star before she was anything else. This song is just not suited to her talents.

People forget this song was Diane Keaton's big number from the OBC of "Hair." She does the solo part starting at "Once I tried a diet of quiet rest, no sweets..."

Don't be so sure.

On the one hand, it's Bea Arthur singing from Hair, so it is fabulous. On the other hand, a little too much bellowing.

My penis is as big as the black boys.

Bea didn't just trash Galt McDermott.

Damn. She wouldn't get away with that today. Go Bea

She might only have two notes but she's using them where they count. Bea did way more than her fair share for us so it's a permanent yes from me.

Damn, that's a TON of harsh, unflattering makeup.

You go, Bea. And thank you for doing it in front of a video camera.

Remember when Bea shit on Bettys dressing room floor? I hope someone returned the favor.
