Are you kidding me:!!!!!!!!!!!
Worked as a New York city go-go dancer in a Mafia-run nightclub from 1964-1967 while breaking in on Broadway. She quit after the owner decided to turn the place into a bikini bar.
Oh that was Adrienne Barbeau, I guess she chose the same career path as Goldie Hawn.

I never cared much for the Maude character either, but Bea Arthur redeemed herself in the Golden Girls -- a show that's still funny two decades later.
For all I know, she was a wicked liberal but she didn't go around broadcasting it like modern celebrities. As such, she allowed me to enjoy her comedic talent for which I'm grateful.
