Trivia and QuotesQuotes Keep fighting for animals by making compassionate, cruelty-free choices every day and encouraging those around you to do the same. I`d never even been to Wrigley Field. I never even enjoyed baseball that much, but I loved being there, the crowd was lovely, and they all sang with me! No fruit. No veggie. I suddenly realized that comedy, for me, was just being honest, and playing it for real. I`ve seen so many wonderful actors who turn into creatures from another planet when they`re told they are supposed to be playing comedy. I really cut my teeth on off-off-off Broadway shows. I`m not playing a role. I`m being myself, whatever the hell that is. You know, I spend most of my life turning things down. There`s a lot of crap out there. But that`s one of the nice things about doing a stage show, if something doesn`t work out, you have the luxury of working on it over time. PETA has a proven track record of success. Each victory PETA wins for the animals is a stepping stone upon which we build a more compassionate world for all beings - and we will never give up our fight until all animals are treated with respect and kindness. Lucy was lovely. I feel I`m an actress who sings a bit. Making lasting gifts for animals in our estate plans is perhaps the single most important thing we can do to ensure animals have the strongest possible voice for their protection. I... was not too happy to suddenly take on this public role thrust upon me. They just assumed I was the Joan of Arc of the women`s movement. And I wasn`t at all. It put a lot of unnecessary pressure on me. I can`t imagine working without and audience. [On the death of Estelle Getty in 2008]: Our mother-daughter relationship was one of the greatest comic duo`s ever, and I will miss her. And I hate autobiographies, I don`t know why. After being in the business for such a long time, I`ve done everything but rodeo and porno. At least I`m not playing other people for a change. It`s a very odd place to be... I feel I`m an actress who sings a bit. All this time I`ve just wanted to be blonde, beautiful and 5 feet 2 inches tall.Trivia Once appeared on "Judge Judy" (1996) as a witness for a defendant who was involved in the animal rights organization PETA. The defendant won. Her series "Maude" (1972) and "The Golden Girls" (1985) were both canceled because Bea left them. She does not like to watch her own performances on television or film. She is best friends with Angela Lansbury, since appearing together in "Mame". A friendship she talks fondly of in her one-woman show. Has two sons, Matthew Saks (born July 14, 1961) and Daniel Saks (born May 8, 1964).
