Sophia may have been the smallest of The Golden Girls, but this week’s episode proves that Estelle Getty’s contributions to entertainment were anything but miniscule.
In this week’s “Extra Sugar”, we’ll dive into the life of the woman behind Sophia Petrillo — from her early days as a shy actress hustling through community theatre to the late-in-life breakthrough that turned her into a comedy legend. Drawing on stories from her memoir If I Knew Then What I Know Now… So What?, we’ll explore some of the best behind-the-scenes moments and fan encounters — the ones that reveal Estelle as not just an icon, but a relatable human who often couldn’t believe her own fame.
As always, grab a slice of cheesecake as you tune in, and let’s give Estelle her flowers.
