In- vite her to a wild and swing- ing party and she'll be the one to bring the net for the trapeze. In an '80s family made up of four "oldies but goodies," Dorothy reminisces about her old Hi-Fi even as her oc- togenarian mother is dying her hair a punk red. "What I like about Dorothy is that she is the strength of the group; she sees to it that the others consider reason- ing," says Bea Arthur, who portrays sound-of-reason Dorothy in a quartet of cacophony. "I'm always asked if Dorothy and Maude," her television alter ego from 1972 to 1978, "are similar. I'm 5-91/2 in my stocking feet; I have a deep, voice and, I sup- pose, a way with a comedy line. No matter what I do, there will be those similarities." No matter what she does, indeed, it seems Arthur al- ways gets the laugh. Who could forget her antic shenanigans as Mame's best friend, Vera Charles, in the 1966 Broadway musical, which earned her a Tony Award? Or those Maude rantings and ravings, which earned her the love of the liberals and the enmity of Archie Bunker, whose All in the Family series spun off the Maude character? The former Bernice Frankel of New York has spun off into a major player in Hollywood's' game of suc- cess. From stage (Fiddler on the Roof, The Floating Light- bulb) to screen (Mame, Lovers and Other Strangers) to tele- vision, Arthur, 62, has proved a formidable figure. She seems that right now, although in a soft, refined way. While Dorothy's roots are Sicilian, there is no deny- ing Arthur's are Jewish. Ar- thur is proud to point out that "I'm getting a B'nai B'rith award soon." She awards her audiences weekly. "I was totally unpre- pared for the success of this show," which co-stars Rue McClanahan, Betty White and Estelle Getty, the last two having earned Emmy Awards for their roles. (Ar- thur won one 10 years ago for Maude.) "It never entered my mind; I wasn't thinking in terms of a successful show," adds Ar- thur. "The scripts are just so intelligent and good." Intelligent and good — ac- colades handed Arthur throughout her career, which started with training by Erwin Piscator at the drama- tic workshop of the New School for Social Research in New York. Like her on-screen char- acter, Arthur is divorced Brighton Beach (from Memoirs director Gene Saks). This Golden Girl has two sons. Despite the accolades and attention, Arthur admits, "I am still stage-struck and love the theater." She would love to do "any and all" parts that would come her way.
