Betty was originally considered for the role of the sexpot, Blanche, on "The Golden Girls." However, Betty had already been the aggressive Sue Ann Nivens on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and Rue McClanahan had played the introverted Vivian on "Maude." It was thought best not to have these two actresses reprise similar characters. Therefore, Betty got the part of naive Rose Nylen and Rue played the oversexed Blanche.
