How Well Do You Remember ‘The Golden Girls’ Blanche Devereaux?
Every single star of The Golden Girls was unforgettable — Bea Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan and Estelle Getty had once-in-a-lifetime chemistry and comedic timing, which is why the show is still a beloved classic that’s finding new fans, 40 years after its September 12, 1985 premiere. It’s impossible to say that any character shined brighter than another — but McClanahan’s man-eating campy Southern belle Blanche Devereaux often stole the show with her one-liners and lusty pursuit of eligible males. The Oklahoma-born McClanahan was already well known on the small screen for her appearances alongside Arthur on Maude, as well as her role on Vicki Lawrence’s Mama’s Family, but her performance as Blanche allowed her to take it to another level; the actress received three Golden Globe nominations, four Emmy nominations, and one Emmy win for the role.
But how much do you really remember about Blanche? Take our quiz and see how much you really know about the woman who taught viewers that you’re never too old for love (and some killer outfits).
