When the movie version was made in 1973, Lansbury lost Bea Arthur role to Lucille Ball, who then insisted on Arthur continuing in the part of Mame's best chum, over the likes of two-time Oscar winner Bette Davis.
After a fallow few years, Arthur returned to TV in an unlikely hitThe Golden Girls which celebrated women of a certain age living together in Miami. As the tart-tongued Dorothy, Arthur was a natural dueling with on-screen roommates rambling Rose and bawdy Blanche as well as her diminutive but domineering mother Sophia. While Arthur earned Emmy nods in each of the first two seasons, she lost first to White, then to McClanahan. The following year, Arthur lost both her Emmy nods.
For the final season of "Maude," Arthur was edged out by her TV cousin, Jean Stapleton, who picked up her third Emmy for "All in the Family." Arthur was also nominated for a guest spot on the return of the variety series "Laugh In," but lost to "Saturday Night Live" regular Gilda Radner.
I watched the Golden Girls on daytime television all time about 15 years ago... Bea Arthur was one of the funnier members of that cast
