About This Quiz

"The Golden Girls" are one of the most iconic groups of friends ever on television. Part of what makes Rose, Dorothy, Blanche and Sophia so memorable is their quotable banter. So we're going to bring back this fantastic series with a fun quiz. Who wouldn't want to travel down the road again with these pals and confidants? We want to see how well you were paying attention and if you can tell us who said which famous line. 

The show followed four women who all lived together in Miami. These friends navigated through life's many twists and turns. They shared laughs, tears and cheesecake. We'll always remember these ladies for giving us tales of Sicily and St. Olaf, along with advice about love and life. We know that Sophia was feisty, Dorothy was sarcastic, Blanche was a bit naughty and Rose was a tad clueless. But can you use their personalities to tell us who said what? Let's find out now. 

“Flirting is part of my heritage.”

This quote was said by Blanche Devereaux, the golden girl who was known for sharing the details of her romantic escapades with her friends — even though they often didn't want to hear about them.
