Since I took Saturday off from blogging, I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to Bea Arthur, who passed away yesterday.
Bea will ALWAYS be Vera Charles to me - Mame's best friend and the "First Lady of the American Theater" in the movie Mame. Bea Arthur and Lucille Ball performing "Bosom Buddies" (below) is absolute perfection.
Miss Charles has gone on to the big Theatre Guild in the sky. And she will be missed...
In the words of Patrick Dennis ... "Goodbye Auntie Vera!"...
