Four middle aged ladies share a house in Miami not to mention countless cheese cakes!
Who doesn't love listening to one of Rose's (Betty white) St. Olaf stories and watching Blanche (Rue McClanahan) as she flirts with every man she meets.

Watching Sophia (Estelle Getty) lovingly humiliate her daughter Dorothy (Bea Arthur) with her classic one liners is priceless.

The success of this very unique and groundbreaking show is due not only to the vision of show creator Susan Harris and its amazing writers, but also to the extremely talented cast made up of veterans actors. Although Estelle Getty (Sophia) was the only one new to TV sitcoms, she had a lifetime of experience in the theater.

The show had 7 successful seasons which are all available on DVD! now!

The Golden Girls ended when Bea Arthur decided to leave the show on a high note. The remaining girls went on to star in The Golden Palace, a spin-off of the series which lasted for 2 seasons.

Did you know?

* Rue McClanahan was to play Rose and Betty White was to play Blanche but they switched roles because they didn't want to be typecast.

* Estelle Getty (Sophia) is 15½ months younger than Beatrice Arthur (Dorothy), even though Sophia is Dorothy's mother.

* In the pilot episode Blanche's surname is Hollingsworth, not Devereaux (as in subsequent episodes). Blanche's maiden name was Hollingsworth, her married name was Devereaux.

* When asked by Rose about her marriage in the first episode of the series, Dorothy says she is from Queens. In all the other episodes, Dorothy says she is from Brooklyn.

* All four actresses won Emmys for their performances.

* In Episode 8 of Season 1 (The Break In), Rose says that her hometown is Little Falls. In all the episodes after that, she says that her hometown is St. Olaf.

* The girls consumed over 100 cheesecakes during the show's 7-year run. And Beatrice Arthur hates cheesecake.

* It took 45 minutes in make-up for Estelle to be transformed into Sophia.
