[post_page_title]Suffering from stage fright[/post_page_title]
Estelle Getty, who portrayed salty-tongued Sophia Petrillo on the show, allegedly had a severe case of stage fright during the show’s live tapings. Nevertheless, her great talent was apparent in her performance. Rue McClanahan stated that during the week, Estelle was completely a different person in comparison to the tapings. Estelle would forget all of her lines during filming and would rely on a teleprompter more often than not. Rue attempted to help her with guided imagery of her character’s history, but she claims it didn’t always work.
