Bea Arthur: The Documentary – “I’ve Done Everything Except Porn” is an intimate and revealing new portrait of Emmy and Tony Award-winning performer Bea Arthur.
Featuring a never-before-seen interview with Arthur herself, this documentary offers a rare opportunity to hear the famously private star reflect on her life, work, and extraordinary career in her own words. Her recollections are woven together with new interviews from friends, colleagues, and collaborators who knew and worked with her across the decades.
The film reveals a more personal side of Bea Arthur—intensely private yet remarkably compassionate, wickedly funny, fiercely intelligent, and deeply committed to the causes she believed in. Among them was her longtime advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community, a relationship that made her an enduring and beloved figure for generations of LGBTQ+ fans.
Produced by 2024 Emmy Award–winner Dan Watt and Tony & Pulitzer Prize–winner Daryl Roth, the documentary celebrates an artist whose fearless comedy, commanding presence, and uncompromising individuality made her an American icon.
