 P.S.
I thought THIS
was funny, found it while I was searching for a cat in the Chicago
area :)
03.26.2001 - Thanks to a poster at the Bea message board,
named Admirer, I have been informed of some exciting information.
Bea is back! "The Guthrie Theater will premiere the national
tour of beloved actor/comedian Bea Arthur’s one-woman show,
…And Then There’s Bea, With her Friend Billy Goldenberg
at the Piano. The tour opens in Minneapolis on Tuesday, April
24, 2001 for one week only, prior to a 26 city tour and a spring
2002 New York opening.", according to the Gurthrie
Theater website. This is the best news I've heard since seeing
Bea here in Chicago a year or two ago. And it looks like she'll
be back! And I'll be waiting at the stage door in hopes to exchange
some words of appreciation. If anyone is going to the Minneapolis
show, please let me know!
Also, Admirer led me to the link at classmates.com where two photos
of Bea in her school days have been posted. Check them out:

That's all for now, will be exclusively covering this show when
more information is available. I would be going to Minneapolis
to catch her opening show, but I will be in Hawaii that same week.
Can't pass that up either :)
Thanks for the information Admirer (what is your real name ? :)
Update: Admirer has also posted a partial listing of the cities
where Bea is performing: Minneapolis, Montreal, Chicago, Kansas
City, Louisville, Austin, Atlanta, Cincinnati, Columbus, Fort
Lauderdale, Westhampton (in August), Boston, St. Louis, Philadelphia,
Dallas, Cleveland, Toronto, West Palm Beach.
03.18.2001 - Finally had some time to upload 54 new pictures
from my newspaper and magazine clippings collection. My next priority
will be the 'Fibs and Facts' and 'Biography' sections.
02.15.2001 - Posted my 8x10 collection and miscellaneous collections.
Still grinding out the videos... looking for server storage for
them as well. In the meantime, I'm continuing posting all magazine
clippings, paintings, and other miscellaneous items I have of
Bea!
02.12.2001 - The new Bea Arthur site is released today!
Luckily my work schedule has been light [not lucky for my wallet],
so I have been pounding away on this site. I have decided to convert
this site into a complete flash/shockwave site as well over time,
should be up sometime this summer. People using 56k dial-up won't
like me too much with this site :)
Right now my #1 priority is getting my collection up. Photos,
clippings, audio, and miscellaneous sections will be up this week.
Videos will be up within the month, quite a time consuming task
clipping, editing, and converting video clips, but I think this
will be the highlight of the site! Second, I will go back and
write my biography for Bea and fibs and facts section. Lastly,
I will give credit where credit is deserved, in the copyrights
section.
02.05.2001 - Construction the new 'bea arthur in the lime
light' web site is under way. Meanwhile, I posted clips
from Bea's recent audio appearance in Fox's Futurama. Who else
could play such a Femputer! hoping to release the new Bea site
by 03.01.2001, if not sooner... so come back often!
01.10.2001 - Here is the Christmas card that I designed
and sent to family, friends, and Bea Arthur herself. Hopefully
she'll get a kick out of it. Also, if I ever meet her, she should
be able to recognize me :) check it out here!
