  • Betty White rose to fame when female television entertainers, particularly comedians, were nearly non-existent. During the male-dominated 1950s television explosion, White made a name for herself as an actress and a producer and writer to boot. White’s career, which would span for eight decades, changed the world of television forever. In this episode of Well, I Never, Paul Brodie examines the life and career of the great and good Betty White.

    Betty White was the epitome of a role model. Actress, philanthropist, ally, activist...she literally did it all, and maintained her beautiful personality throughout. Our world truly lost a treasure when she passed on.

    What an awesome lady. She advocated for animals her whole career, and lived a great life. I bet she died with no regrets. May we all be so fortunate.🙏🏼

      She had one regret & it was wasting a whole year turning down her third husband's (Allen Ludden, the love of her life) proposals for marriage a whole year.

It is lovely to hear about her backstory and all of the great things she achieved in her life! What a wonderful woman she was and her story has been beautifully told by yourself. Thank you for such an informative video of this amazing lady.

    I remember being disappointed that Betty White didn't live to her 100th birthday. It just seemed appropriate for a woman whose wit and goodness seemed like a superpower. Ah well. We were lucky to get the time we got with her. Dolly Parton seems like the only other celebrity that could even touch Betty's shadow.

    I was only today thinking about her. I've been hearing awful things about my childhood comedic hero Jerry Lewis but I never heard about Betty until Golden Girls. I thought: if only I'd seen Date with the Angels sooner, I only saw it recently in reruns.

    Betty White was okay, but there were quite a few others who many found even funnier: Ann Sothern, Lucille Ball, Gertrude Berg, Joan Davis, Gale Storm, Spring Byington, Eve Arden, Verna Felton, Ann B. Davis, Marion Lorne, Edie Adams, Jayne Meadowes -- etc. As for as production powerhouses, Lucy fired up Desi -- she was the real power behind Desi's throne, which was to be expected since he had been a poor immigrant who more or less stumbled into movies, from his career as a nightclub singer and musician. Lucy was a dynamo in real life, ironic since her Lucy Ricardo character was always trying, without luck, to break into show business, which did sort of support the current stereotype of women at that time -- as for Betty White, I lived through that entire era and I never heard of Betty White until she played Sue Ann Nivens on THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW in the 70s and then, of course, THE GOLDEN GIRLS. If her show was ever shown on any Phoenix stations, I certainly never saw even one episode. Of course for the 50s we in Phoenix only had 3 channels until the end of the decade -- when another station started up......lucky us.......

    She would have been a better co star for Lucy than Vivian Vance. Lucy, Betty and Gale Gordon would have been quite the trio.
