Star Wars Holiday Special: 25 WTF Moments

7. Bea Arthur As A Space Barmaid

The scene then shifts to a segment set in the Mos Eisley Catina, where barmaid Ackmena (Bea Arthur) is being hit on by a customer, Krelman (Harvey Korman...again), who misinterpreted her friendly demeanour to mean something more, and she has to correct him about that (not that he takes no for an answer).

To her credit, Arthur does a great job in the role (considering what she's working with, anyway), but it's a WTF moment all the same because it's simply so bizarre to see her appearing in something like this. She's a Golden Girl, damnit.
