RUE FROM PAGE 6

February 11, 2007 -- RUE McClanahan turns 73 this month, but age hasn't dimmed the steamy memories of her sexy life as a younger actress. The "Golden Girls" star reveals in her upcoming autobiography, "My First Five Husbands," how she would rate men by the FQ - Fun in Bed Quotient." One of the hottest, she says, was Brad Davis, who was just 23 - 16 years her junior - when he played her son in the off-Broadway show "Crystal and Fox" in 1973. "The young lad had a crush on me. Although I was flattered, I was not about to open that can of peas," she writes. But that changed after the show ended. Davis got a job as a landscaper, showed up at her house to cut the grass, and "kissed me. Right then and there, on the grassy hillside under the June sky, we both dropped our Levi's. A little while later, Brad was on his knees, zipping his pants up [and he gets an A, with a capital A], when we heard a cheerful voice across the yard. 'Hello, Miss McClanahan! Nice to see you' . . . My neighbor lady." Davis, who later starred in the flick "Midnight Express" but tragically died of AIDS in 1991, "was equipped with a very effective can opener," McClanahan gushes.
