Blanche Devereaux is a character from the sitcom television series The Golden Girls, and its spin-off The Golden Palace. Blanche was portrayed by Rue McClanahan for 8 years and 204 episodes across the two series. The character was inspired by Blanche DuBois (to whom Blanche Devereaux is compared in the pilot script) and Scarlett O'Hara.[1]

McClanahan had previously co-starred with Beatrice Arthur in Maude and with Betty White in the first two seasons of Mama's Family. In pre-production, producers had planned for White (who was already well known for playing the man-hungry character Sue Ann Nivens) to play Blanche, but neither White nor McClanahan wanted to be typecast, and the two roles were eventually switched by producers.
