Blanche Devereaux (née Hollingsworth) is one of the four main fictional characters on the 1985–1992 NBC sitcom ''The Golden Girls'', and its CBS spin-off ''The Golden Palace''. In the pilot episode, her last name was given as Hollingsworth, but this was somewhat "corrected" in later episodes by making this her maiden name. Blanche was portrayed by Rue McClanahan for 8 years and 206 episodes. ==Family== Blanche Elizabeth Marie Hollingsworth Devereaux born in November 1932, grew up near Atlanta, Georgia, at her family's mansion, Twin Oaks. Her parents were the late Elizabeth-Ann Margaret Bennett (later seasons named her "Samantha Roquet") (Helen Kleeb) and Curtis "Big Daddy" Hollingsworth (first Murray Hamilton, and after Hamilton died, David Wayne), the latter a revered man in his neck of the woods. Much to Blanche's dismay, he married a young widow named Margaret Spencer (Sondra Currie) years after Blanche's mother, Elizabeth, died, but she grudgingly accepted the marriage. Her father, Big Daddy, later died, and the news of his affair caused a shift in their father-daughter relationship. She attended the fictional Miss McIver's Finishing School. Blanche is a member of "the Alpha Gams" (Alpha Gamma Delta) but it is not known which university she attended. The most likely schools are Brenau University or the University of Georgia which both have Alpha Gam Chapters dating back to the time when Blanche was college-aged. Both schools are also located within a short driving distance of Blanche's home in Atlanta. On occasions, Blanche states that she was Baptist. She's proud of her status as a southern debutante, but when tracing her family history is shocked to learn that she has a Jewish great-grandmother named Rosalind Feldman from Buffalo, New York, which prevents her from joining The Daughters of the Old South, a conservative southern women's organization. Blanche has four siblings: Charmaine (Barbara Babcock), the spoiled oldest sister, who infuriated Blanche when she wrote a sordid novel that Blanche thought was about her, but when it was revealed that the book was about Charmaine and not Blanche, they made up and apologized to each other. Virginia Hollingsworth Wylde (Sheree North) is the youngest sister, with whom Blanche shares a mutual loathing. They buried the hatchet when Virginia went into renal failure and Blanche offered her kidney to her sister. However, their relationship became strained once more after their argument following Big Daddy's death in which Virginia accused Blanche of being too selfish and self-centered to say goodbye to her own father. There is also Clayton (Monte Markham), a younger brother whose subsequent revelation as being gay troubled Blanche to some extent; Blanche's reluctance to accept Clayton's sexual orientation nearly cost her relationship with him. During ''The Golden Palace'', it was revealed that Blanche has a mentally challenged brother, Tad (Ned Beatty), who has spent most of his life in a Chattanooga institution. Blanche also had a visit from her promiscuous niece Lucy (Hallie Todd).
