Transplant (Season 1, Episode 4)

WELCOME TO EPISODE 4 OF THE GOLDEN GIRLS DEEP DIVE PODCAST! Starting from the beginning of the show, each week we recap an episode of The Golden Girls and we end each episode with a fully researched deep dive into something from the Golden Girls universe! In episode 4, Blanche’s sister., Virginia, is coming to Miami for a visit, though the two have never gotten along. Shenanigans ensue when Blanche’s prediction comes true: Virginia has come to town to ask for something–and this one is a doozy. Also…Rose and Dorothy are, for some reason, OVER THE MOON to be babysitting an infant for a young couple who we never meet or hear about again. Like, what?  For this week’s deep dive, Patrick will tell you all about the life and career of Estelle Getty and will share the incredible story of how she developed from a struggling actress taking mostly unpaid community theater jobs in Queens to landing the life changing role IN HER 50s that led to The Golden Girls. Our episodes are researched by Jess McKillop, Patrick Hinds, and Jennifer Simard. Visit our website for a full list of sources.
