Letras de canciones de Bea Arthur

Bea Arthur is one of America's leading stage and television actresses, known for performances in musicals and dramatic plays, and to television audiences for outspoken and independent-minded women.
She was born Bernice Frankel and began appearing on stage at a young age. After a typical Broadway stage apprenticeship, she first drew national attention in the historic Broadway production of Marc Blitzstein's translation of Kurt Weill's Dreigroschenoper (called The Three-Penny Opera). This 1952 production, featuring the composer's widow Lotte Lenya in one of the leading roles, marked a watershed in American recognition of Weill, who until then had been known in that country for his Broadway musicals rather than his more significant works written in Berlin before Hitler. She participated in the highly acclaimed original Broadway cast recording of Three-Penny Opera on the American Decca label, which was remastered for CD release by Universal Music Group's revived "Decca Broadway" label in 2000.
She was a regular in the leading TV variety series "Caesar's Hour" in the 1956-1957 season. She has been professionally billed as "Beatrice Arthur" and "Bea Arthur" and, in a pair of forgettable movies (Rocket Attack USA [1961] and Light Fantastic [1964]) as "Jane Ross."
Arthur is known for her unusually deep voice and her height, which she lists as 5' 9 1/2" and dresses to emphasize in her stage appearances. She rose to Broadway stardom in 1964 in the role of Yente the Matchmaker in the original cast of Fiddler on the Roof, establishing the tradition that this supporting part is a scene-stealer. She shared billing with Angela Lansbury in Mame (the musical adaptation of Auntie Mame) in 1966. Directed by her second husband, Gene Saks, Lansbury (as Mame) and Arthur (as Mame's best friend Vera Charles) both won Tony awards. She also appeared in occasional episodes of TV series, as when she played a "Gamester of Triskelion" in the classic Star Trek series.
In 1971 made a memorable guest appearance on the top situation comedy of the day, Norman Lear's "All in the Family," Carroll O'Connor's hit about an outspokenly bigoted blue-collar family man, Archie Bunker. Arthur played Maude Findlay, Archie's equally knee-jerk left-wing (and richer) cousin-in-law. Arthur's dead-pan portrayal brought her back for further clashes with Archie, then led to her playing the character for six years as the star of the series "Maude." This series proved to be even more groundbreaking and controversial than the original "All in the Family," including one of the first open treatments of the abortion issue on an American entertainment program. "Maude ran through the 1978-1979 season, joining the historic elite of TV series that quit voluntarily at the top of their form and with high ratings.
Her next series, "Amanda's," (1983) was a short-lived effort to cast her in the John Cleese role in an adaptation of "Fawlty Towers." But it was followed in 1985 by another classic hit, "Golden Girls," with Arthur portraying Dorothy Zbornak as part of a talented ensemble cast as one of three formerly married women at or nearing retirement age (the others were Betty White and Rue McClanahan) and Estelle Getty as Dorothy's outspoken mother. Every one of the four stars won an Emmy for her role at some point during the show's seven-year run and, once again, Arthur ended the show at the point she thought it had reached its peak.
After "Golden Girls" ended, Arthur essentially retired to her ranch in California, appearing thereafter in two films (For Better or Worse, 1966) and Enemies of Laughter (2000) and limited TV appearances.
