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!
ReplyDeleteI used to watch it regularly in teens
ReplyDeleteI think that clip is from "Hot in Cleveland," isn't it? Anyway Betty White was great in everything. Let us know what you think of that book!
