Bea Arthur's Embarrassing FOIA Files Released

Golden Girls

A Freedom of Information Act request, on deceased "Golden Girls" actress, Bea Arthur, was released to the Smoking Gun, with the government distastefully failing to redact a segment stating, she contracted a sexually transmitted disease, whilst married and serving in the Marines.


Bea Arthur's Marines picture lists her under her maiden name Beatrice Frankel

One would think people's medical records are off limits. Under law they are supposed to be. Her family must be livid. Arthur publicly denied being a marine, which may have led to the full, uncensored file being released.
