ISBN In a interview she stated that working every week with talent like Arthur and White scared her out of her wits. The Girls reenacted two of their kitchen table scenes with a bit of censoring, so as not to offend any royal sensibilities. Eagle-eyed fans have noticed over the years that although there were four women living in the Miami house, there were always only three chairs around that famous kitchen table.
That was strictly due to the limitations of filming—to avoid either squeezing all four shoulder-to-shoulder or having one actress with her back to the camera. Bea was always given the center chair, both because of her height and also in order to catch her priceless facial expressions. The placement of the other characters around the table depended upon the particular situation, and which character might need to exit the kitchen. On those occasions when all four characters had to be seated, a tall stool was scooted up to the outskirt of the conclave.
Speaking of that iconic kitchen: the main reason for its particular design was that it was a set left over from another short-lived Harris sitcom called It Takes Two. It starred Richard Crenna and Patty Duke Astin as a dual-career couple—he was a doctor, she was a lawyer—with two teenaged children. Susan Harris had worked with Kent on Soap in and fell in love with his surname. The Queen was lovely. We were told not to address her unless we were addressed.
She was up in a box and she came down on stage after with Princess Anne. According to a book by British comedian Cleo Rocos, Princess Diana was also a fan, once spending an afternoon drinking champagne, watching reruns of the show and improvising new dialogue with Queen frontman Freddie Mercury. The day before tape day, you could see a big difference in her.
By tape day, she was unreachable. The actress also had strict rules surrounding the subjects her character would talk about. Gay audiences embraced the show almost immediately, with several gay bars across the country holding viewing parties for fans.
They were drawn to both the outsized female characters on the show and its willingness to tackle then-controversial subjects, including its depiction of LGBTQ issues.
All four of the actresses were early supporters of gay rights. Getty, whose nephew had HIV, reportedly set up gay crew members on dates and refused to read any lines that she considered harmful to the gay community.
Arthur had a wide circle of gay friends thanks to her years in the theater community and performed benefits to raise funds for LGBTQ causes. The May series finale, in which Dorothy gets married and Blanche sells the house, was watched by more than 27 million people. But the characters briefly lived on.
