Summary
- A producer accidentally hit Betty White with fake bread during a wedding scene.
- White humorously responded, 'Don't you know that I'm a big g----- star?'
- The incident occurred during the filming of the final episode of The Golden Girls.
During the final episode of The Golden Girls, a humorous moment turned tense when producer Jamie Wooten accidentally hit actress Betty White with a piece of hard prop food. The incident occurred on a reception set where prop food, described as models rather than real food, was used.
Wooten recounted in an interview that during a wrap-up mood, writers engaged in a food fight with the fake bread rolls. He admitted to throwing one as hard as he could, striking White directly. The set fell silent as everyone froze, anticipating White's response.
White then approached Wooten and playfully exclaimed, 'Don't you know that I'm a big g----- star?' before erupting into laughter. Wooten recalled thinking his career was over for a split second. The beloved show, which premiered on September 14, 1985, concluded its run in May 1992 after seven seasons.
The series starred Betty White as Rose Nylund alongside Bea Arthur, Estelle Getty, and Rue McClanahan. It focused on the lives of four older women living in Miami and garnered 68 Emmy nominations, with all four lead actresses winning an Emmy for their roles. Betty White passed away on December 31, 2021.
