In my opinion, this photograph is not authentic.  The Bea Arthur signature, in particular, is very atypical in my opinion.

I do not think this is genuine either. Yes there are many fake LOA's and also genuine ones for fake autographs

Betty white doesn't sign like that - she's slow and steady. Rue's signature also is off.. this is not real

Thats fabulous Chris, if your ever thinking of parting with it let me know lol. Would you have any ideas of where to go for an actual genuine one?  would mean alot to me to own one like this

This is the other one i came across, the one thing thats bothering me is the photo thats on the actual LOA has some print on it (starting around Rues signature), says something like reporters rehearse house,its like a stamp.......but theres no sign of this stamp on the full picture itself??

I am pretty sure that is the watermark of the photograph.  When PSA took the picture, the lighting could have illuminated the photograph making the watermark apparent.
