In tribute to Bea Arthur and a nod to Candace Bushnell

I always was a fan of Bea Arthurs’.

The character Maude certainly epitomized the Boomer generation.
Norman Lear wrote her as a woman struggling with marriage, divorce, her daughter, abortion, aging…all the issues we may have, at one time or another, grappled with.

We met her again as Dorothy, living in retirement splendor, sharing her life with Blanche, Sophia and Rose.

And if you think about it, these four Golden Girls have the exact same character traits as Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte, respectively. Exactly the same.

I suppose then, in around thirty or so years, we’ll see the Sex and the City stars sharing a condo in Miami.

By then, I imagine, Candace Bushnell will have made another bundle chronicling the lives of Archie and Edith during the early days of their courtship.
