Krysten Ritter in the 2012 film 'Vamps' does blackface. Here is a picture https://twitter.com/luna__poo/status/1423017216426061827.
I think we'd need to have a pretty careful examination and weighting of sources before including Betty White. The cited source says Rose and Blanche happen to be giving each other mud facials - so when the couple walks through the door, the surprised Golden Girls are caught sporting a variation of blackface. Rose says, "This is mud on our faces. We're not really Black."
Vulture goes with First, the “blackface” isn’t blackface at all.
There are other sources all over the place that would need examination before we can proceed. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:54, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
Hulu has removed an episode of The Golden Girls that contains a scene in which Betty White and Rue McClanahan are mistaken for wearing blackface.[1]
a 1988 episode of “The Golden Girls” in which two characters allude to blackface.[2]
The controversial scene comes when two of Dorothy's friends — Rose, played by Betty White, and Blanche, played by Rue McClanahan — are trying out a mud face mask and meet Lorraine's family for the first time.[3]
An episode of The Golden Girls has been removed from Hulu, for a blackface joke that features Rue McClanahan and Betty White wearing mud masks... The controversial moment in the episode features Blanche (McClanahan) and Rose (White) wearing mud masks that confuses Lorraine's mom Greta (Virginia Capers), who isn't wearing her glasses, into thinking those were Michael's parents — who, until that moment, she believes is Black.[4]
Does make up to look like a chimney sweep count as black face? Really? I'm all for exhaustive lists but that is really stretching. Can someone with some clout look at that? 120.152.11.210 (talk) 06:40, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
Judy Garland performs in blackface here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok5R9wDc44k. I am wondering if she has been considered in the past, but wasn't listed because she was a minor at the time, or other mitigating factors. DazzleNovak (talk) 23:57, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
