The Golden Years

Yay! The Season Two collection of The Golden Girls is due in May! Long a fan, I reguarly do yoga to the 6 o' clock hour of reruns on Lifetime, and spent New Year's Weekend streaking through Season One's collection.

The warm, witty ladies appear to be consummate professionals, and no doubt chummy in real life. However, according to a friend who knows Golden Girls Marc Cherry (creator of Desperate Housewives, the ladies spoke little and some even had cold relations between each other. However, consummate professionals they were--the show held little to no rehearsal, but what resulted was comedy gold. All three were comedy veterans and of course it shows. I still can't imagine they didn't talk much off the set, but stranger things have happened--and these gals were old school: Real actors.
