The ditzy Rose in The Golden Girls, played by Betty White, was probably my favourite character in the tv show.
I don't really believe this was a blooper but no matter. I found it nicely nuanced by Ms White, until the end at least. She was a master at pregnant pauses.
If you don't get this, just Google "Once you go black...". I expect you will get it though.
Coincidentally I have just bought a book for my Kindle by a gay black American called "Is it true what they say about black men?". He has travelled the world and for a time lived in Australia and I am guessing it is partly about the fetishising of black African heritage men. I read some of what he wrote in other media about his experience in South Africa, which I found rather interesting and quite damning.
She was a treasure:)
ReplyDeleteI still laugh at some of her St Olaf jokes. The herring circus!
