That Was No Lady (Season 1, Episode 14)
WELCOME TO EPISODE 14 OF THE GOLDEN GIRLS DEEP DIVE PODCAST! Starting from the beginning of the show, each week we recap an episode of The Golden Girls and we end each episode with a fully researched deep dive into something from the Golden Girls universe!
Dorothy has a new boyfriend and his name is Glen (as we are always saying, DOROTHY CAN GET IT!). Shenanigans ensue when Dorothy discovers that Glen is married. Shenanigans double ensue when Dorothy finds herself sneaking around to be with her married boyfriend behind her best friends’ backs. Meanwhile, Blanche sells her car to Rose so she can acquire a sexy new ride.
For this week’s Deep Dive, Jenn tells us the you-won’t-believe-it-until-you-hear-it story of actor Alex Rocco, who plays Glen in this episode. Rocco’s story includes his time with Boston’s notorious Winter Hill Gang, MURDER, jail time and… not being asked back to play Glen in future episodes of The Golden Girls.
