public conveyances. I didn't
want to pass for something I
was not."
Maybe that accounts for the
integrity that imbues her every
performance — and the honest
appraisal of her series success.
"It's a good show about recog-
nizable people," she says. "For
the first time, a lot of (older)
people are seeing their contem-
poraries on TV."
Including Getty's husband,
Arthur, who still lives on the
East Coast even while his wife
is out on the other end of the
country shooting Golden Girls.
"It's always been that kind of
marriage," she says. Arthur is
an artist and businessman, says
Getty. "We talk and see each
other a lot."
But don't look for problems in
this bicoastal family. "They're
just delighted for me, very
proud," says a proud Getty her-
self.
She is especially pleased with
what she has done with Sophia,
who originally was planned only
as a peripheral character. And
no, it doesn't bother Getty play-
ing the oldest woman oh the set.
"I don't mind playing an 80-
year-old lady," she says.
Not that she wouldn't mind
seeing some changes. "I would
like to see Sophia become a
Gray Panther," she says. "And
I'd love a hot romance — as long
as it's with George Burns."
Getty is not complaining mind
you. She loves everyone on the
set and enjoys her role. "I love
playing Bea's mother," she says.
She may not have relished
playing daughter to her real-life
mom as much earlier in her life.
"I really am my father's daugh-
ter," she says. "He was very
dynamic and funny, a great
raconteur."
And a fan of theater who sent
his daughter off to settlement
houses where, for 50 cents a les-
son, she got training in voice
and dance.
At the settlement houses, the
young Estelle settled on what
she wanted to do with her life.
"I was hooked forever," she
smiles.
She has latched onto a gold
mine with "Golden Girls." But
fame can have its share of
drawbacks, most notably its
attendant lack of privacy. "I like
anonymity," she says.
Getty also likes her indepen-
dence. While Sophia moved in
with her daughter and her
daughter's friends when her
nursing home burned down,
Getty burns only to be a visitor,
never a boarder at her children's
homes. "I can't envision moving
in with my children," she says
of her two sons. "I think both
would say they'd want me to
move in, but I would hope I'd
have the grace not to."
She is grace under pressure,
answering each question with
equanimity.
Getty is also a diplomat.
Asked which character she has
enjoyed playing most over the
years, she pauses, then offers a
smile only a mother could love.
"I'm a mother," she says. "I love
all my children!"
