In this week’s “Extra Sugar”, we’re going beyond the biosketch and learning much more about the real woman behind Dorothy Zbornak: Bea Arthur. 

We’re talking about her fearless advocacy, her trailblazing role in Maude — where she tackled issues like women’s rights, aging, and reproductive freedom — and how that legacy paved the way for Dorothy and generations of strong female characters to come.

So, grab a slice of cheesecake and join us as we celebrate the woman who proved that comedy could have a conscience — and that a well-timed glare could change the world.
