How Well Do You Remember ‘The Golden Girls’ Rose Nylund?

When The Golden Girls (1985-92) premiered on Sept 12, 1985, the producers of the classic NBC sitcom originally had Rue McClanahan in mind to play the daffy and sweet Rose Nylund, and Betty White would have played the saucy Blanche Devereaux. But wiser heads prevailed, figuring Betty had already vamped plenty as Sue Ann Nivens on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and thus a star was reborn. With her impeccable timing and earnest recitation of Rose’s bizarre memories of her native hometown, Betty won her third of five primetime Emmys and secured her place among TV’s comedy legends. Take our The Golden Girls quiz and see how well you remember her character.
