Shocking Things You Never Knew About The Golden Girls

A Hatred Of Cheesecake… Especially Hundreds Of Them

Cheesecakes were a huge hit among the characters on the show. Bea Arthur has said she hated cheesecake but was on a show where more than 100 of the desserts were consumed. That’s a lot of food you don’t want to eat but it’s a great lesson for all of us to eat our fruits and veggies without complaint.

Yet another night spent sharing a cheesecake

Whenever anything unfortunate happened, the girls split a cheesecake. Their garage, which was never shown, must have been filled with refrigerators specifically made to hold cheesecake. Whether one of the ladies finds out that her late husband had an affair while they were married, or if one of them loses her job, or even if they’re just scared after watching the movie Psycho, there is no problem that The Golden Girls do not hash out without sharing a cheesecake around the kitchen table. It truly is unfortunate that Bea Arthur disliked the dessert so much, since over 100 of them were served over the show’s run.
