A video showcasing the best of Rose Nylund from the hit 80s sitcom ‘Golden Girls’ shows why she was such a beloved character. The character had an unfair advantage in the popularity contest because she was played by one of the funniest and most loved actresses.
Veteran actress Betty White played Rose Nylund in the award-winning comedy series. She jumped at the opportunity to play this character, describing her as ‘innocent, not the brightest nickel in the drawer, but funny.’
In this video, viewers get to experience the character exactly how Betty White described her. Rose Nylund is also a sympathy magnet as she sometimes seems dimwitted and utterly unaware of what is happening.
Often, other characters are seen bluntly staring at her or rolling their eyes after she utters something entirely off the point. Rose Nylund brought another definition to the story that was not covered by any other character.
In one scene, Rose is seen testing her watch to see if it is waterproof. She does so by completely submerging her arm with the wristwatch on in a bucket of water.
An empathetic Blanche suggests that Rose rather take off the watch of her arm instead. But Rose replies in her clueless manner: ‘Come on, Blanche! Then I would have my hand in a bucket of water for nothing!’
The video is one of the funniest reels of classic Betty White moments that will have any ‘Golden Girls’ fan in splits.
