What They’re Saying:
- Designer and founder Daniel Silverstein (AKA Zero Waste Daniel): “The Golden Girls were a North Star to me growing up. They’re funny, fearless, wildly fashionable, and they showed up for each other in ways that felt groundbreaking, teaching a lifelong lesson of what it means to be a chosen family. As a child, I felt the warmth of their love and friendship. As an adult, I can see clearly that they are trailblazers, tackling tough topics with heart and humor in ways that are poignant and still resonate today. To be entrusted with honoring their 40th anniversary is one of the greatest privileges of my career. This collection is a thank you for all the laughter, lessons and late-night cheesecake."
A Golden Series:
- The Golden Girls originally debuted back in 1985, introducing viewers to four friends who became family as they shared their lives together in Miami - Dorothy Zbornak (Bea Arthur) and her mother Sophia Petrillo (Estelle Getty), Rose Nylund (Betty White) and Blanche Devereaux (Rue McClanahan).
- The series also stands out as one of four sitcoms where every performer in the main cast has won at least one Emmy Award, with the series winning 11 overall during its run. The show ended in 1992.
- Disney fans will surely remember the early days of the Disney-MGM Studios at Walt Disney World, where they could also see their house facade on the backlot tour, up until it was removed in 2003.
- The acclaimed and popular series even came in at #18 in Variety’s 100 Greatest TV Shows of all-time.
- Now, fans can stream each episode of the series’s seven seasons on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
