Estelle Scher (she had no middle name) was born in Manhattan on July 25, 1923, the daughter of immigrants from Poland. Her father started a glass business that was eventually taken over by Arthur Gettleman, the man she would marry in 1947. Her stage name was derived from his. A tiny woman, under 5 feet tall and less than 100 pounds, Ms. Getty wrote in her autobiography that her interest in acting began as a child when she saw her first vaudeville show; as a young woman she tried her hand at stand-up comedy. For most of her performing life, which she spent in community theaters, small theaters way off Broadway and regional houses, she made a living as a secretary.

In 1978, after seeing “The International Stud,” the first installment of what would become “Torch Song Trilogy,” she went backstage to introduce herself to the playwright and star, Mr. Fierstein, and they became friends. Some time later, she recalled in an 1984 interview, she said to him, “You’re such a hotshot playwright, why don’t you write a play with a mother in it, and I’ll play her.” That play turned out to be “Widows and Children First,” the concluding segment in the trilogy, and it changed her life. Rex Reed wrote in The New York Daily News that “Estelle Getty is the most endearing Jewish mother to be seen on the New York stage since Molly Picon, only prettier and more believable.” The performance led to her being cast as Cher’s mother in the film “Mask,” and it was while she was on the road with “Torch Song” in Los Angeles that she auditioned for “Golden Girls,” getting the job after she showed up for the final audition in the costume and makeup of a little old lady. Her husband died in 2004. In addition to Carl Gettleman, who lives in Santa Monica, Calif., Ms. Getty is survived by another son, Barry Gettleman of Miami; a brother, David Scher of London; and a sister, Rosilyn Howard of Las Vegas.

The Broadway smash musical Bye Bye Birdie was actually inspired by Elvis Presley being drafted. The King of Rock and Roll received his draft notice on December 20, 1957 while in Tennessee. Fans flooded the Army with requests to spare their idol, but Elvis took up the call at the height of his career. He later said, “People were expecting me to mess up, to goof up in one way or another. They thought I couldn’t take it and so forth, and I was determined to go to any limits to prove otherwise. Not only to the people who were wondering but to myself.” While away, his manager continued to release Presley’s music, so the public didn’t forget the crooner. Of course, his fans didn’t forget him (some women even followed him and tried to get onto the base), and the mail for Presley’s company went from one bag to fifteen. When the film adaption of Bye Bye Birdie was being cast, the producers approached the King to play the part. By some accounts, Presley was interested, but his manager Colonel Tom Parker nixed the idea because he felt the parody wouldn’t be flattering. The role instead went to Jesse Pearson who played the role when the musical went on a national tour. While Elvis didn’t get a chance to work with Ann-Margret this time, he did eventually team up with her the next year for Viva Las Vegas (read about that here).
