Yah, it’s bullshit. I didn’t know that about the Katharine Hepburn cover. Jesus Christ, whoever made that decision should be let loose in hell. Bea probably wouldn’t have even felt like she deserved a cover, and that makes me want it for her even more.

So what if Christina Applegate had cancer? Bea Arthur had it too—that’s what killed her. And I’m not even saying that Bea should have made the “Most Beautiful People” cover, because it’s not like she was a knock-out, okay. But People couldn’t have pushed that issue back one more week? Or even given Bea the cover the next week? What douchebags.

bea arthur or however you spell her name is not a comedic genius, let alone one of the greatest comedic geniuses ever. i usually trust your thoughts beet, but that’s just dumb.

you can hate what they said but sam kinison, and howard stern were/are comedic geniuses. the deadpan man’s-voice of bea arthur is no substitute for content, which the guys i mentioned had in spades. i doubt she could be funny in an interview for 3 minutes

Or the same kind, smoking can cause lots of cancers, including the breasty kind.

I don’t know how beautiful her insides are if she’s a smoker….she probably has crispy, crusty lungs.

Totally agree People is wrong on this one but it isn’t the first time they did some stupid shit like this. I actually sent them a scathing email back in 2004 when Katherine Hepuburn died and she got her picture in the upper left-hand corner so Reese Witherspoon could have the cover. WTF, really? I just don’t understand who makes these decisions.

it’s not all about physical beauty. they prob put her on the cover b/c of the way she handled her cancer. and b/c she’s hot.

Bea Arthur was beautiful. She should have got the cover.

Big mistake people. I would have actually bought your magazine with Bea on the cover, but not some washed up actress. Cristina Applegate, really? God, they have weird taste.

I love her too. But I wouldn’t have put her on the cover of a 100 Most Beautiful People magazine. She’s pretty, sure, but not overly gorgeous.
