In 1977 she co-starred with Bess Armstrong in the short-lived CBS comedy On Our Own. She also played a recurring role in The Golden Girls, as young Dorothy Zbornak.
Greene as Dorothy Zbornak, very convincing as a young Bea Arthur.
She originated the role of Emma Goldman in the original off-Broadway production of Assassins, as well as recreating the role of Comrade Charlotte in the 1987 version of Flora the Red Menace.
Greene was previously a writer and an executive producer on the series Nip/Tuck. Greene currentlythe executive producer of the series Scoundrels, which is a remake of the television series, Outrageous Fortune.
And just for some comparison fun, here's young Bea and young Lynnie:
With the two pictures side-by-side, I don't feel they really look that much alike. In the show, however, Green is perfect as a young Dorothy. She even has a bit of the baritone going on.
ReplyDeleteI wish tv was as good today as it was back in the 80-90's.
It's uncanny how perfectly Lynnie fits as the younger Dorothy. Looks like a young Bea (though the smiling shot of her doesn't play up the resemblance anywhere near as much as the screenshot of her from GG does), sounds like a younger Bea might have, and acts just like her. I know she isn't Bea's kid, but if I hadn't known that beforehand, I sure as hell would've been convinced that she was.
