Sophia believed strongly in ancient Sicilian custom and traditions, and in the power of a "Sicilian curse." The list of people she claims to have "cursed" included Shelley Long, the Baltimore Colts, the New York Jets, Giuseppe Mangiacavallo (the boy who stood her up at the altar), and Leonard Barton (the girls' next-door neighbor who expressed a disdain for Italians). She had threatened to cast a curse on Dorothy (before she found out that it was prohibited by another arcane custom), and on Stan Zbornak. In the final season, Sophia spent two episodes doing odd tasks in order to save Dorothy from an ancient curse from a Sicilian strega, or witch.
The series follows Dorothy Zbornak, played by late actress Beatrice Arthur, Rose Nylund, played by late actress Betty White, Blanche Devereaux, played by late actress Rue McClanahan and Sophia Petrillo, played by late actress Estelle Getty. All four girls are in their golden years (hence the name of the show) and all live together in Blanche's house.
To make the lasagna, heat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit. Butter a 9- by 13-inch baking dish, set aside. Place about 1 cup of the meat sauce in the bottom of the baking dish and layer with 4 lasagna noodles. Place another cup of meat sauce over the noodles, followed by a cup of cream sauce and a third of the cheese. Repeat with the remaining noodles and sauces, ending with the cheese. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the top is golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
One of Italy's foremost architects 30 years earlier, as Sophia described Vincenzo, he resides at the nearby seniors center, Sophia describes him to the other women as now being "a shell of a man, who now spends time just looking up women's dresses!" Sophia introduces Vincenzo to the women, with the purpose of the girls hiring him to instruct them as they begin work on remodeling their garage into a guest room; when asked by Dorothy as to how much he would charge, he answers back in Italian that he'd do it for nothing, in that he's glad just to get out of the seniors center, and glad to have the work; and he'd love to do it also just to have a chance to do it in the company of some pretty young girls, then he also hands Sophia a list of the "young girls" to do the work with!
As the women begin women get set to begin work on the garage later in the week, Vincenzo tells Sophia to tell the girls that he is boss, the master, and everything he suggests them to do, they are to do; but, beforehand, he wishes to inspect they "the workers", as Sophia wheels him across the gargage as he inspects them, he, being somewhat of a dirty old man, pinches Blanche's rear; as he wears a mischievous smile on his face, when Blanche tells Sophia, she anwers "It's a reflex, he's Italian!"
When Vincenzo, as he tells Sophia, that he would bring in his own crew of workers to finish the remodeling job on the garage at no extra charge, the girls all ask Sophia why would he do that, Sophia answers them "Because he's senile as a doorknob and stop asking questions!"
Rose tries to light a fire under her newly-retired boyfriend who has become a couch potato. But she's not sure she wants to go along when he decides to sail around the world. Meanwhile, the ladies' attempt to convert the garage into a guest room faces many obstacles.Tropes:
- Black Comedy Cannibalism: Upon smelling Rose's "Speardhoven Krispies" and when Rose offers her a taste, Dorothy remarks that they smell so foul that if they'd been offered to the Donner Party, they still would have resorted to cannibalism.
- Crooked Contractor: The girls deal with one when they try to remodel the garage into a guest bedroom.
- Impossibly Delicious Food: Rose's famous "Speardhoven Krispies" smell absolutely horrible, but apparently taste like "cheesecake, fresh strawberries, and chocolate ice cream." (The only way to eat them is to pop one in your mouth while holding your nose.) Blanche and Dorothy sample them and can't stop eating, saying it's the most delicious food they've ever tasted.
- Translation: "Yes": When Sophia's friend Vincenzo, who only speaks Italian, helps the Girls renovate their garage into a guest room, he relies on Sophia to translate his directions to English. At one point, Sophia translates a short phrase into an extended "Picture it: Sicily" story, and Dorothy and Blanche immediately question how he could have told the lengthy story in one sentence of Italian.
- The Unintelligible: Vincenzo:Sophia: [translating what Vincenzo says] Before we begin... let's make one thing clear. ... I am in charge. ... I am the boss. ... I am the master. ... I am the walrus.
Dorothy: Ma, either your Italian is rusty or he's the world's oldest hippie.

She wrote on the site: "It was very exciting. The Queen was lovely. We were told not to address her unless we were addressed. She was up in a box and she came down on stage after with Princess Anne. She said lovely, pretty girls. I said and not bad body, and she said, 'oh, no, not bad bodies!'" (White wrote in her book "Here We Go Again: My Life in Television" that the Queen was referring to the Rockettes, who also performed.)
