Sunday MatineeApril 26, 2009 Bea Arthur died yesterday. The former star of Maude and Golden Girls was 86 years old. But I remember her best as Maude because of the difficult subjects the show tackled during the 1970s. Although it was a comedy, her husband Walter was an alcoholic. The show she had an abortion had protesters up in arms, although it showed how tough the decision was for her as a 50 year old with an already adult daughter on the show. Bea Arthur's character was definitely part of the growing feminist movement of the time. Thank you for being a friend! Now, it's time for the Sunday Matinee. Enjoy this week's selection of book videos. Lori Handeland presents DOOMSDAY CAN WAIT If you'd like your video considered, please send me the embedded code to barbaravey@gmail.com As a special treat, here's Bea Arthur singing her theme song (with a little help from a friend). Bottom Line: Today is my brother John's birthday. Wish him luck...he's off to play Bingo on his Harley. Posted by Barbara Vey on April 26, 2009 | Comments (13)

In response to: Sunday Matinee Margay Leah Justice commented: I loved her on The Golden Girls. I think it's kind of ironic that she died so soon after the woman who played her mother on the show, Estelle Getty. They were two very talented women and I will miss them both.
