In 1993 I met Estelle Getty at a Las Vegas video convention. She was their to promote her senior citizen work out video. At the video convention were people who owned or ran video stores. Celebrities were their to promote their project to video store owners. They sat in a both to sign autographs. I was fan of "The Golden Girls". I waited in her line for minutes. I was about to tell her that I was happy that she was going to be on "Empty Nest" but before I could
she was telling me "to leave & goodbye" I was at her booth for no more then 6 seconds. All her pictures were pre signed. That was okay but she was rude and nasty to everyone. BECAUSE OF HER RUDENESS the record store chain Music plus did not carry her tape.
Now I have talked to people who have seen Estelle at their job (Ralphs, Albertsons) and they both said she was beyond rude. It was not just me.
UPDATE
In the USA TODAY Newspaper dated 7/23/2008 it has a story about Estelle. Read between lines of her co-stars. They never say "Estelle was fun to work with". They only say Sophia was funny. Also in the same article Estelle sounds like she hated being a mother.
The gatekeeper of hell now has a new officer. Move over Johnnie Cochran
