S8 E2 Extra Sugar - Golden Girls: Rue McClanahan

Rue McClanahan once said, “People always ask me if I’m really like Blanche. And I say, ‘Well, Blanche was just Rue with the volume turned up.’” In this week’s “Extra Sugar”, we’re raising a slice of cheesecake to Rue, learning about her five-decade career, some of the diverse roles she had after Golden Girls, AND how she got that name: Rue.

Here are some of the things Nikki read in preparation for this week’s episode, if you want to dive in: 

• The New York Times’ tribute to Rue McClanahan 

• A summary of the Oklahoma Museum of Pop Culture’s Rue exhibit

• The Farm Sanctuary’s tribute to Rue

• PETA’s tribute to Rue 

• My First Five Husbands…And the Ones Who Got Away: A Memoir
