TV Happy Birthday, Bea Arthur!

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on Tue, May 13 at 1:15 PM

Dear fans of The Golden Girls and Maude: Let’s all give a tip o’ the hat to actress Bea Arthur, who turns a greaty eighty-six today. And to celebrate her hilarious additions to the pop culture canon, here are a few of her greatest hits, starting with this PSA warning women to stop taking Premarin (because it’s made out of HORSE URINE!!).

More Bea-utiful clips after the jump!

Remember the good old days before we were all wasted out of our gourds on coke, pot and heroin? So do Bea Arthur and Rock Hudson!

And who can forget the cult classic Star Wars Holiday Special where Bea plays barmaid for the alien cantina. WE SHOULD HAVE SUCH A GREAT LIFE!

See more great Bea-tific clips here!

Wow, that song w/Rock Hudson was amazing! What is that from anyway?

God, I love this woman.

Rock Hudson knew all about poppers, trust me.

Did you grab these clips from the list over at Best Week Ever?
