The highly anticipated franchise spin-off The Golden Bachelor premiered on September 28, and a woman named Roberta Zaktzer was honored in the first episode. Gerry Turner lost his wife of over 40 years in 2017 and is the franchise’s first Golden Bachelor. Featuring age-appropriate women from across the country, the 72-year-old Bachelor has many potential flames to choose from. One of the women, Ellen Goltzer, has her friend to thank for her bravery in applying for the show.
