The Main Cast:

Beatrice Authur as Dorothy Zbornak, Betty White as Rose Nylund, Rue McClanahan as Blanche Deveraux and, Estelle Getty as Sophia Petrillo.

  This series centered on four mature single women living together in Miami, Florida. Dorothy was the outspoken divorcee, a substitute teacher whose strong personality often seemed to overpower her housemates.

  Rose was a flaky, naive, soft-spoken widow given to hilarious misinterpretations of almost everything that was said in her presence. She worked, believe it or not, as a grief counselor.

  Blanche, who owned the house, was also a widow, but of a different stripe. She was lusty, man-hungry, and dripping with charm, a Southern belle that never aged, at least in her own mind.

  All in their 50s and 60s, the three were joined by Dorothy's elderly mother Sophia, who moved in when her retirement home, Shady Pines, burned to the ground. Sophia had the saltiest mouth in the house. She had a stroke, it was said, that destroyed the "tact" cells in her brain.
