On behalf of the Art Attack Foundation we are deeply saddened by the loss of one of Broadway and Television’s greatest Bea Arthur.

 

Miss Arthur broke onto the American theatre scene in 1954 when she performed in a production of Three-Penny Opera.  Bea followed her stage debut with another successful off-Broadway musical, The Shoestring Revue.  In 1964 it was the role of Yente, the matchmaker, in Fiddler on the Roof, which made her truly famous.  A year later she won her greatest Broadway acclaim in Mame.  Starring opposite Angela Lansbury, her portrayal of Vera Charles, a savagely witty and serpent-tongued woman earned her a Tony Award in 1966.

 

Famed producer Norman Lear took note of Miss Arthur in The Shoestring Review, and convinced her to do a guest role as Edith Bunker’s cousin, Maude, on All in the Family.  Her character was so intriguing that she got her own show in 1972.  Bea won an Emmy for best actress in a comedy series for her work on Maude.  Next, Arthur joined the cast of The Golden Girls, for which she also won an Emmy.  The show ran seven years.

 

Bea’s career encompassed all area’s of the performing arts which is why she was the perfect fit to be our Chairperson. 
Bea, you were an inspiration to many and you will be truly missed.

 

 

With Love Always,

 

Dan Watt

Founder/Executive Director
