for 2003
12.12.03
:: Great news for us and especially Bea fans in California!
Bea is continuing into 2004 with a special one time only
show for a gala event for the South Bay Conservatory's
Student Scholarship Fund. Read more at the following two
sites ::

12.01.03 :: Hey Bea fans! Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving! As you
probably know, there hasn't been any real news of Bea since her London show
ended in October. However, I am still keeping an ear out for anything new with
her. I assume she is still resting up and enjoying the holidays.
On
that note, I too had to lighten the load for this web
site. I have currently pulled the audio and video sections
in the collection area. I know the videos are one of
the most popular features of the site, but due to disk
quota issues, I had to pull them for the time being.
I have full intention to put them back up as soon as
I jockey some files around on this web site and the other
web site that shares the disk space, my personal/business
web site, LimegreenTangerine.com.
Thanks for understanding and I will post on this page
when these pages are back up and with new content!!
Happy Holidays all!

11.15.03 :: No news to report on what Bea has been doing the past month
since ending her show at the Savoy. We can probably assume that she is resting
up and enjoying the holidays with family and friends. However, you never
know with this go getter!
Below are images sent to me from Angie who runs www.angelalansbury.net from
when she went to see Bea in London. Thanks Angie! Click on the thumbnail

a severe ear infection according to Playbill.com. To
read more about her disappointment in canceling a few
of her shows click HERE.
10.08.03 :: Bea has cancelled a couple of her shows in London, due to
illness. She should be back though within two days, so fear not. I'm sure
she is just working to hard... she can't help it! Keep up the great work
Bea! (only a few more days left before her London gig is over) :(
09.26.03 :: I have been receiving quite a bit of email from people in
the UK with responses to Bea's show. Overall, the majority have been positive.
Critics on the other hand have not been impressed. The question is why? Is
it because Bea's material is related to only US people would know about or
is it because UK people have different expectations of the theatre? Post
your comments and read others in the BeaBoard Message
Board.

08.04.03 :: My, my, my how time flies! Sorry for the lack of updates
here lately. However, there really hasn't been anything Bea news worthy going
on to announce. I've also had people ask me about the book of fan stories
that I will be sending to Bea. I have decided to wait to send it to her until
after she gets back from her latest shows in Africa and Europe. I'm sure
she is preparing for them as we speak and therefore wouldn't either receive
or pay much attention to the book. So, please continue to send your stories
and pictures over the next few months and they will be included in the book.
I have been really impressed with what I have received from you guys already!
Keep up the good work. I'm excited to receive stories from people who have
seen her show in Africa and Europe, as well, to include in this. I have already
had contact from people in both Africa and Europe... thanks again!
That's all for now. Be sure to check in once in a while to get the latest!
Kev!
07.04.03 :: I am extending what I posted on 06.06.03 to the end of July.
I have received some great stories from fans already and want to extend this
to a few of you that have been procrastinating. I am the king of procrastination
so I completely understand!
 06.26.03
:: It's
official, Bea is taking her show to South Africa and
London! Click here for
the scoop!
06.06.03 :: Ok guys... Bea has given us so much, it's time to give back.
I have decided to send Bea a high quality book of stories from her fans.
I will be using the stories that are currently posted on this site [here],
as well as, any new submissions that are sent to me by 06.30.2003. So here
is your chance to get your story told directly to her! I will also be including
pictures that have been sent to me from you. So, if you have any images of
your meeting experiences, be sure to send the to me by the end of this month.
Also, please take time to write your story. I am not the best writer myself,
but I have found out that there are a lot worse writers our there!!! So,
please take your time in articulating your story. If it ends up being 5 or
50 stories submitted I will still send them to her.
I'm sure that Bea will really get a kick out of this, so I do hope you participate.
Email your stories and photos to me at  no
later then 06.30.2003.
I will post any feedback I get back from her to share back with all of you!
That's all for now!
06.03.03
:: It
was a great moment on television last night with the
premiere of The Golden Girls: Their Greatest Moments
which aired on the Lifetime TV Channel. It was a fun
filled 90 minute show hosted by Bea, Rue and Betty. Though
they were never seen together, which has disappointed
many fans, it was still a great way to enjoy the Golden
Girls with the girls themselves! If you have missed this
special, I'm sure it will be replayed many times to come.
It was a great time with a sad undertone of Estelle being
absent. Though it wasn't a E True Hollywood story dishing
out the dirt of the show as some expected, the show included
some never seen before bloopers and behind the scene
footage, as well as, a special performance for the queen
of england! Click here for
details from Lifetime TV's web site.
05.25.03 :: A few interesting new worthy events to mention today!
First, one more week until Lifetime's Golden Girls reunion special. June
2nd, at 8pm (EST). I'm really looking forward to the bloopers and hopefully
some behind the scenes footage that they will be showing... and of course
Bea! Don't forget to watch!
Second, a member of the Yahoo Group, Ironicwit, found a great article online
about the people who grew up with Bea (Bernice Frankel) in Maryland. This
is a really fun and interesting article, click here to
read it.
Third, Ironicwit, also found a interesting article
on Rupaul's very own web site :) Click here to
read about the possibility of Bea taking her show to South
Africa and Europe this summer!
And finally, I just received an email from someone notifying me of a tribute
album to the late Peggy Lee in which Bea will be performing on! Click here to
read the article!
That's all for now, be sure to check back soon for more exciting information
about Bea and the Golden Girls reunion soon!
05.15.03 :: Two pieces of news. One, just uploaded a human interest story
that you might enjoy called 'BEA'ing Friends'. Click on the link above to
read. Second, a new video of Bea has been added to the video collection.
Be sure to check it out. It is the appearance of Bea on the Graham Norton
show. Special thanks to Darran for sending it to me!
05.13.03 ::
Bea would kill me for using this image of her...
I'll take that chance... love ya Bea :)
04.29.03 - Clips of three of the four Golden Girls were on Entertainment
Tonight for the Golden Girls reunion show tonight. They have announced the
air date being June 2nd at 8:00pm (EST). I have a feeling the show will revolve
around Estelle missing out in the reunion. Quite sad, being Estelle loved
the girls so much. Read more here.
04.25.03 - Lifetimetv.com has announced the following... there is currently
no additional information about this at this time... be sure to check back

04.01.03 - No joke here! Two years and two months after first launching
BeatriceArthur.com, a well deserved clean up of this site has taken place.
In addition, new content has been added to the collection section under clippings
(starting with #56 and on).
A generous guy from Australia sent me a wealth of Bea clippings from over
there. Again a huge thank you to him! (Hi Peter!) Upcoming in the next month
or two, new videos! So be sure to check back. In the meantime, be sure to
sign up to the BeaBoard and
leave your comments and questions for either myself or other Bea fans to
answer!
03.20.03 - Nothing new with Bea since the TV Land Awards, which is now
a definite part of TV history. I would like to make an announcement regarding
contact information. I strongly urge any questions you might have about Bea,
be posted on the BeaBoard.
I am no longer able to answer all individual questions and emails about Bea.
I have fallen months behind, so it would be nice to have the chance of other
Bea fans who are just as, if not more, knowledgeable then me to answer your
questions.
Also a redesign of the Bea site will be coming soon, incorporating the BeaBoard
as well as a couple other features to the site. The main redesign will be
behind the scenes in the programming, so don't expect a black and white difference
in the design.
Thanks again for all your support and keep having fun!
03.11.03 - Just a friendly reminder to watch the TV Land Awards (Wednesday,
March 12th, 2003) (filmed on March 2nd, 2003) where Bea will be appearing!
Further info will be posted on the BeaBoard!

been waiting for the Bea Intimate Portrait to be re-air,
wait no more! Tune into Lifetime tv at 7pm (Eastern) on
Wednesday, February 26, 2003.
Also, I noticed that the Cartoon Network is rerunning Futurama, where Bea
guest stars (voice only) as Femputer. It's really cute! This will air Tuesday,
February 25, 2003 at 11pm (Eastern).
01.26.03 - It's now been almost a week now since the premiere of Bea's
Intimate Portrait. I have received a lot of feedback from Bea's fans, and
am excited to report an overwhelming positive response to the show. I'm still
very excited about this extremely well biography of our Bea Arthur!
One request. Please do not email me and ask for copies of the show. For obvious
reasons I cannot fulfill these requests. The show will be repeated eventually,
so keep a look out on your local listings. I will also update you on this
when I learn of the air dates. Thank you for your cooperation!
 01.20.03 -
The moment we have been waiting for over 3 years has finally
happened. Tonight Bea Arthur's Intimate Portrait finally
premiered on Lifetime TV. And to fan's welcome, the show
was true and full of Bea as a person and entertainer. Click here for
a special BeatriceArthur.com overview.
01.19.03 - Maude
is back... for some! So, I'm watching Maude right now on
tv? Did we know it was back on? I do now... but not sure
for how many people. I'm in Chicago, on the RCN network
and on Ch. 14 they air a station called ME-TV... I guess
it stands for Memorable Entertainment Television... never
heard of it. Anyway they air Maude every Monday through
Friday. This is great for me... but was curious to if how
many of you get it? So check your local listings. It airs
here in Chicago from 1:30 - 2:00pm.
01.11.03 - Just a friendly reminder from BeatriceArthur.com. Don't miss
the premiere of Bea's Intimate Portrait on January 20th on the Lifetime channel
at 7pm Eastern!!
01.10.03 - I received this press release from PETA today. They asked
