Trivia Edit

  • Ellen Albertini Dow would play two other characters on The Golden Girls in Older and Wiser and The Days and Nights of Sophia Petrillo.
  • Betty White as Rose saying "what happens when there is only one of us left?" is seen as sadder today, since Betty is the last surviving Golden Girl. What makes it even sadder is that, in that scene, the four are sitting, from left to right, in the order of which they died.
