We’ll always be Bosom Buddies, Bea!
April 27, 2009 at 12:26 pmI remember getting into an argument with a friend once about how Maude had an abortion and how controversial it was at the time.
“Who?” asked my friend. “Bea Arthur,” I replied.
“When did Bea Arthur have an abortion?” asked my friend. “On Maude!” I said.
“Well, I don’t remember that episode of the ‘Golden Girls’.”
April 27, 2009 at 1:14 pmOn Saturday, I went driving around DC with some friends blasting the theme songs to “Maude” and “The Golden Girls.” We got many thankful looks and acknowledgements of the love we all had for that funny, hilarious lady.

April 27, 2009 at 3:17 pmJRs last night did a terrific job honoring Bea. About every four videos that they played (it was Showtunes Night) was of Bea Arthur. The place was packed with guys singing “Bosom Buddies,” “Thank You for Being A Friend” and “Then There’s Maude.” There were also some great videos of Arthur on Broadway and talk shows.
Miss you Bea.
