That was on camera, though. These were professional actors who were capable of showing whatever emotions were required. White seemed to get along so well with them on the show. But what was her relationship like with her fellow cast members when they were not on the set of "The Golden Girls"?

BETTY WHITE HELPED WELCOME TV NEWCOMER ESTELLE GETTY

Estelle Getty, who wowed audiences with her portrayal of Sophia Petrillo, Dorothy Zbornak's mother, had never been a featured star on a television show before. Her background was Broadway, according to TV Guide, but she settled into the role. Betty White, a veteran actress, was more than happy to bring Getty into the fold.

The two of them got along well and White would work with Getty, who got such bad stage fright during the taping of the show that she had to have Sophia's lines on cue cards to keep her from forgetting, per Glamour.

BETTY WHITE AND RUE MCCLANAHAN HAD WORKED TOGETHER BEFORE

As far as characters go, Blanche Devereaux (Rue McClanahan) and Rose Nylund were polar opposites. Blanche was a temptress who always had to have her social calendar filled with men, while Rose was a sweet woman who still mourned her late husband. But McClanahan and Betty White got along extremely well. Part of that was due to the fact that they were very familiar with each other, having both been on the series "Mama's Family," according to MeTV, and they had formed a friendship through their time on that.

It made "The Golden Girls" much easier for them.

BEA ARTHUR WAS NOT SURE WHAT TO MAKE OF BETTY WHITE'S ATTITUDE

When it comes to casting, one would be hard-pressed to find a better fit than Bea Arthur for the divorced Dorothy Zbornak. She had a razor-sharp tongue and didn't hesitate to use it. She also reserved most of her scorn and put-downs for nearly anything that Rose Nylund said. There might not have been as much acting there as people might have thought. Arthur was not altogether friendly with White off the set

THE FOUR ACTRESSES ALL MOVED ON FROM THE GOLDEN GIRLS

"The Golden Girls" had a good run from 1985 to 1992. There was a brief attempt at a sequel, "The Golden Palace," but it fizzled out pretty quickly. The original series was a phenomenal success during that time, garnering 41 major awards like the Primetime Emmys and The Directors Guild, among others (per IMDb). It still lives on in syndication, with various networks like Hallmark and streaming platforms like Hulu airing it.
