I believe Rue McClanahan (Blanche) was considerably younger than the rest of the cast, when the show began. Interestingly, Estelle Getty (Sophia) was about a year younger than Bea Arthur, who played her onscreen daughter, Dorothy.

Malinga the Swinga Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 When asked if she regretted anything in her career, her stock answer was not doing Robert Redford. Friends with Ryan Reynolds and Jennifer Love Hewitt, she carried on working into 90's. I liked her on Craig Ferguson's late late show, where she was regular guest. She knew how to play part and her roles on SNL proved she was game for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
