I heard today that Bea Arthur had died. She was a rough tough cream puff, and I'll miss her. Bea was wonderful as an eighty year old Carrie Bradshaw, and of course in Golden Girls which my mother and I watched kind of religiously (I know, right?). I think her strangest perfomance is her rendition of Don't Rain on My Parade at the Tonies. Of course, she can't hit the high-note at the end like Barbra Streisand, so she gives it the ol' Bea Arthurian treatment. Enjoy.
She's so sassy and fabulous! And the ending is very humorous. The orchestra comes in early and totally rains on her parade. Don't you just know Barbra would have thrown a hissy fit, but Bea just goes back and reads out the nominations. CLASS ACT.
