Why is she a gay icon? --SPUI (talk) 02:09, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Because she's big and ballsy and has a history in Broadway. See her character as "Maude" and Auntie Mame: very gay-iconic characters. Moncrief 02:11, Mar 12, 2005 (UTC)
Beatrice Arthur never got along with Betty White during the filming of The Golden Girls? Where is the proof?

[edit] gay icon
While its good a source was added to this article (at loooong last), to support this, it actually doesn't fully support the whole paragraph it's attached to. It should be possible to find all the necessary sources to back everything. Also, this uses the classic weasel words. The body of the article should explicitly state who says what. It should distinguish between what Arthur says of herself, and what others say about her. Now, I could edit the article to specifically refer the Advocate article, but I'm sure whoever put this gay icon stuff here didn't wish to speak solely about what one publication said (and a relay of a few others). It's probably best those pushing interested in the gay icon angle do this themselves. --Rob 06:34, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Star Trek: Voyager appearance
The IMDb claims [1] that Arthur appeared in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Cold Fire" as the voice of Suspiria; however, IMDb is notorious for being inaccurate. Furthermore, no other reliable source credits her with the role or even mentions it in background info and if you watch the episode, it's fairly apparent that it's not Arthur's distinctive voice. Therefore, the category (and any mention of her appearing in the episode) should be left out of the article. -- SmokeDetector47( TALK ) 04:11, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] YouTube links
This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed or you would like to help spread this message contact us on this page. Thanks, ---J.S (t|c) 03:46, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Steaming up windows
