Betty White played Rose Lindstrom Nylund, the lovely farm girl from St. Olaf, Minnesota. The Norwegian-American spoke in the Scandinavian language as a running gag through the series, when, in fact, White never said a single correct phrase in Norwegian. The subtitles were there to present a layer of authentication to the hilarious gibberish. The Norwegian accent was not the only one on the show. Rue McClanahan’s character, Blanche Devereaux, had a Southern accent, which was actually McClanahan’s suggestion, for a little bit of added sultriness.
