18. Bea Arthur

While it was suspected that Bea Arthur had served in the United States Armed Forces, she diligently denied it during her lifetime. It was not until she was on her deathbed that it was finally revealed that she had served in the military, doing 30 months in the Marine Corps. She was one of the first members to belong to the Women’s Reserve and she worked with them as a typist and truck driver. Arthur passed away at the age of 86 and was most famous for her roles in Maude and The Golden Girls. She enlisted in the military in 1943 at the age of 21 because enlistments for women had just opened. She wanted to get into ground aviation, but alas, she did not.
