The Golden Girls: Then and Now

3. Rue McClanahan Was Married Six Times

Like her Golden Girls alter-ego, Rue McClanahan was popular with men. Although for McClanahan, it wasn't all fun and games. Blanche, her character, was gregarious and incredibly overly-sexed (particularly for an 80s sitcom). Rue, on the other hand, couldn't have been more different. The Southern Belle was brought up as such, taught that living with someone before marriage was living in sin. Perhaps that explains how her first two husbands, both actors, barely lasted three years. Or, you could read her book where she tells us all about it.
