Subject: The Golden Girls--HELP!

Written By: apollonia1986 on 08/03/09 at 5:46 pm

Hi Everybody!

I  love the show the Golden Girls and I am looking for the name of one of the actresses that guested on the show. (not the main four...) It was a little lady that played Sophia's sister Angela from Sicily. Every time I try to hunt down the name, my Internet gets crazy.

If someone could find the name of the actress for me, I'd gladly KARMA you.

Thanks so much.  :)

Thank you!!! :)

But Snozberries already beat me to the punch... it was definitely Nancy Walker that played Sophia's sister Angela! Nancy also played Rosie in the old Bounty paper towel commercials!

I loved Nancy Walker as Angela.  Alot of you old school TV fans will also know her as Rhoda's mother, but to me, Angela was her best role.  The way her and Sophia were always at odds with each other and contant with the wisecracks was awesome!


I also liked her as Nancy Blansky in the short-lived 70's sit-com "Blansky's Beauties". In it she played the "House-Mother" to a group of aspiring dancing girls.

He wrote one on Madonna, and also (at least one) 80s trivia (hence his name, possibly?) and one 90s trivia book(s).  Might be some more I'm forgetting. If so, sorry Michael.  :-*

I found out that Quntin Tarentino, guest starred on the show, as an Elvis impersonator.

He was the one, in the gold outfit, in the back role.

KARMA all around!


Thanks so much for all your input guys. I've wanted to know who that woman was for the longest. She was the perfect casting as Sophia's sister. I'd have sworn they were really related. (I always wondered what the casting call looked like when they were looking for an actress. )  :)

considering Nancy Walker was so well known and, as you say looked perfect for the role... they might have just contacted her agent directly... no casting call.
