A friend posted this link on FB. Bea, with Rock Hudson, doing one of the most out-there variety show production numbers I think I've ever seen:

Wish I knew on what show this aired (or was pulled from).
Let's get right to it.

per Wiki:  "She hosted The Beatrice Arthur Special on CBS on January 19, 1980, which paired the star in a musical comedy revue with Rock Hudson, Melba Moore and Wayland Flowers and Madame."  (!!!)

I've seen this before, but THANK YOU for reminding me of it!  Duly re-posted on my own FB page.

For those who have The Hallmark Channel (and really, shouldn't evrybody?) -- they'll honor Bea Arthur with a 19-hour marathon of The Golden Girls this Sunday, May 3rd, beginning at 8:30 a.m. ET.
