Betty White- A National Treasure



   A woman that is older than sliced bread. A young woman who is considered a national treasure. A woman who just turned 99. Betty White is that person.



    Born on January 17th, 1922, Betty Marion White Lennon didn't begin her tv career until the late 1930's. She starred in an experimental television show called "the merry widow" But WWII broke out and she put her career on hold to help the soldiers by volunteering




      Betty White got her own tv show, which was more a talk show and a prime time show. Sadly, both short lived. Betty White would host and star in. Not knowing much about the show, she said that it would be the start of her TV career


    She also was a guest panelist on a game show called "Password" where she met her future husband, Allen Ludden. Her biggest regret in the three times she had been married is that she never had kids. She loved Allen even loved taking to Allen when they were on Password. Her tv career blossomed more after the show ended


    In the 1970's she stared as Sue Ann Nievens on the Mary Tyler Moore show. I never could get in to this one, but it starred her as well as Ed Asner, Cloris Lachman and Mary Tyler Moore. The show would focus on Mary Tyler's character. 



   I've talked about this show before, so I'll keep it short. Betty White was on this show from 1985 to 1992 and played the dimwitted Rose Nylan who would talk about her home non stop. She also would get angry at the other three when she gets upset. She was the oldest Golden Girl and is now the only surviving golden girl as well


After golden girls ended, a short lived show called the Golden Palace was created. I don't remember this one, but Bea Arthur had no desire to be on the show. Betty White played Rose again and this took place, I guess in Atlanta??? I forget. It only lasted one to two seasons and was canceled because of low ratings


  In the 2000's, after golden palace ended, she decided to star in the Soap Opera the bold and the beautiful. I never was big on soap operas, but it seemed Betty White was in a few episodes.



  In 2010, a Snicker's commercial came out showing Betty White is still vigor in her old age. She isn't slowing down anytime soon. She soon became the oldest host of SNL. I watched it and loved it. She was funny in every skit. 



 When Toy Story 4 came out, she voiced what appeared to be a teething ring named Bitey White. LOL The movie was really good. I enjoyed it. She also was in another show called Hot in Cleveland. I don't remember the show that well, but it seemed Betty White was the funniest character on the show. She would make everyone crack up in the bloopers.



Now, at the age of 99, she isn't doing much acting because of the pandemic. She is spending it staying safe and surround by animals which she had done her whole life. It seemed she is an avicate for animals. She even has two ducks that visit her. We want Betty White to stay with us till she's 100. We wish the best for this amazing woman.

   Betty White, a comedian, an actress, an animal lover and a national treasure for all of us to enjoy
