Thank you Betty White and Bea Arthur for being a friend on “The Golden Girls,” even though those behind the show now say it was all an act.

Williams said that Arthur often called White the c-word. “ [She] used to call me at home and say, ‘I just ran into that c at the grocery store. I’m gonna write her a letter,’ and I said, ‘Bea, just get over it for crying out loud. Just get past it.' ” (Sally Struthers said as much in her own bombshell interview about White earlier this year .)

Despite starring on Golden Girls together for seven years, Bea Arthur and Betty White were not the friendly duo they portrayed on screen in real life.
