15 Things You Didn’t Know About ‘The Golden Girls’

3. Estelle Getty Had the Toughest Job and the Least Experience

Among the cast and crew, it was no secret that Estelle Getty had a serious case of nerves. She was the least experienced of all the actresses in the core cast, and she had to wear make-up and a wig to “age” her up because she was a year younger than Bea Arthur, her on-screen daughter. Every week, she’d routinely freeze up on camera because she was so unnerved by the arrayed talent playing off of her. Of course, she managed to battle that stage fright every week, eventually becoming one of the more loved members of the ensemble.
