Bea Arthur


Thank you Bea Arthur for portraying strong women in television; Maude and Dorothy.
I imagine you must have been a strong woman in your private life as well because people often used your tall stature and deep voice as a punch line about femininity.
I grew up watching Maude and learned that I wanted to be a strong, outspoken woman. Of all the Golden Girls, I would choose to be Dorothy.
I learned from Bea Arthur, Maude, and Dorothy that its important to be true to who you are; embrace your YOU. Beyond everything.
And years later, I'm still trying.
