The effect is, however, somewhat reminiscent of Iggy Pop!?
And who did Iggy get his start with? The Stooges, of course. It is all connected man!
There's no beginning to the parallels between Golden Girl and All in the Family co-star, Bea Arthur and rock's favourite leathery exhibitionist pensioner - Iggy Pop.
Arthur's leathery look was exacerbated by her fondness of rolling around the stage in broken glass; Arthur could also instantly hurl herself from the ground to a standing position without using hands - just like Pop!
Iggy Pop is fond of wearing transparent polythene elasticated pants - as was Arthur. Pop also shared an apartment in Berlin in the 1970s with David Bowie and Archie Bunker.
Bea Arthur would never dream of doing an insurance commercial, of course...
