Remembering Betty White: Inside Her Life as a TV Icon
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Betty White has died. She was 99. The legendary performer maintained her TV-icon status by acting well into her twilight years. Following scene-stealing turns on ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show,’ White starred on the groundbreaking sitcom ‘The Golden Girls,’ which multiple generations still enjoy today. She won five Emmy awards across her career that also included radio and film.
I was so hoping that she would reach 100. She was such an iconic legendary lady I’m sad that she’s gone but happy she is reunited with her beloved husband Allen
I know. When my aunt was visiting me at Christmas I even brought up to her that Betty only had another month and she will be 100 years old. I really thought she would make it.
🙏🏻❤
@@vickieclark5931 yeah me too was talking about how excited I was a couple day ago.
She lived through her 100th year except for the las 17 days.
100 is just a manmade number, it doesn't really have any significance in the natural and biological world outside of us making it one. She lived a really long life and put a smile on so many faces and did so many great things, those are the things we should be remembering her on. Rest in peace Betty!
Very sad. Betty white is a legend. She will be very missed. I send my deepest condolences to her loved ones and family.
Is it sad? Not really. It's a cause to celebrate. She lead an amazing life and a continuous light whenever we saw her. She gave so much and we are lucky to have known her (through the tv). We all loved her. Even this short video, I consider it a celebration of the long career she had and the indelible mark she leaves behind.
She was something wasn't she! Beautiful, Talented, Sassy, Classy, Compassionate, Caring, Always on The Mark - I can go on but let's just say she was just Betty White 😉
My Betty White experience: both my grandmothers died when I was 6, and I missed them terribly. This was during the height of Golden Girls. I would tune in with my parents every week, and pretend Rose was my grandmother, because she was my favorite and it helped ease my grief. It feels like I’ve lost my 3rd grandmother now. I’m sure many feel the same way. RIP Betty.
I think we all feel like we lost a grandma losing Betty.
I feel the same way 💔
That's very understandable. Both of my grannies died when I was in my early 20s and it was extremely difficult, so Betty White felt like America's granny in general.
My Mom and I would watch Golden Girls in my parents room after my Grandma past away. It was just the two of us laughing at how similar Rose and my Grandmother really were and the fact that they were both from MN as well. RIP Betty! We will always removed you sweet “Grandma”!

How many people can say they were famous until they were 99 years old? A lot of people have their few years in the spot light then fade away and aren’t a big deal anymore but Betty literally was famous her whole life. One of the biggest celebrity losses in some time. RIP Betty!
She was such a gentle, charming presence, it was impossible to NOT like her.
William shatter. Mel brooks. They’ll probably make it to 99
Never heard of her until now, I don't watch much tv
@Andy Hicklemoore 19 just don't watch tv shows all day , mostly spend time not keeping up celebretes.
If there was any human being who deserved to live to be a hundred years old is Betty White GOD BLESS HER GOD BLESS HER GOD BLESS HER
One of the few.... perhaps ONLY person never to have an ill word said about her. She was truly loved by all! What a sweet heart! Your view of death was beautiful! And finally.....you know what that secret is! ❤️
True facts. And she never liked to speak ill on anyone else not unless they really deserved it. I’m going to really miss this beautiful sweet Queen. 💔😭❤️
To my sadness, it was disclosed during a GG behind the scenes special that Bea Arthur did not like Betty, and didn't have nice thing's to say about her.
Bummed me out 😞 RIP Betty
The moment we wished would never come. Long live the Golden Girl. Betty White, January 17, 1922 - December 31, 2021. Rest in peace to a national treasure
I don't usually bawl my eyes out when celebs die, because I don't know them. But I'm blubbing now because I'll miss this true light & treasure.
When I see Betty is going to be in something my face lights up & I know I'll enjoy it. She will be missed by many millions of people. She was a wise old broad & a funny one.
RIP beautiful Betty ❤️
Shes the only reason I went to see The Proposal lol
You all just know that the second Betty enters Heaven, she is going to drive God crazy with stories of her back in St. Olaf.
RIP Betty White.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 He needs her right now - with all of the evil going on in the world
Ms. White lived a very long life. And she lived that life ,basically on her terms. She will be missed!
R.I.P Betty White 1922-2021 I wish she got to 100 years old but God has the final say so.
😥We thought she would last forever.
We hoped! And she made us believe she could.
This is so heartbreaking... She had only just recently started that she was so grateful to be almost 100, and to still be in such great health. Rest in peace Miss Betty ❤
Betty White I'm not going to cry because you've reached your destination, I'm going to celebrate your journey instead .🙂
I learned about Betty's death like 30 seconds before I got on the bus back home. I cried the whole way, So many beautiful memories and fits of endless laughter. Betty was not just a star ... she was a hyper-luminous and beautiful constellation! If I had known that 2021 would end so sadly, I would not have gotten out of my bed this morning.
Rest in peace, dearest Betty. Thank you for being a friend.
Back in the 1970s Betty White was in a play that I saw. After the play, she was in the lobby signing autographs. She talked to everyone like they were her friend and yet, she kept the line moving. RIP Betty White.
I generally don’t give a crap about celebrities and that sort of thing but Betty White was so much more. She was an icon, an institution and an example of an actor that doesn’t exist any longer. She had talent, grace and a legendary sense of humour. No tatoos, no Torrid selfies in her undies and no stupid narcissistic opinions for others to “follow”!
Well said!
Because she was a naturally kind, classy, good-hearted old lady. The ultimate grandma figure. I'm curious, did you Kiwis get Mama's Family and The Golden Girls on NZ TV at the time?
@@nathanfitzgerald6651 not sure about New Zealand but here in Australia, we got The Golden Girls, Hot in Cleveland and still have the replays on cable now.
Theres no one like Betty White and wont be another. She will be missed. R I. P
We will miss you Betty White thank you for being a friend
Rest In Peace Betty White, your with the Angels now. The Last surviving Golden Gurl has passed away. A National Treasure. A true legend. The Golden Queen. She’s with her fellow Golden Girls in Heaven. You’ll forever be in my heart Betty. Thank you for all the joy and Laughter you gave me through the years of growing up. Thank you for being a Friend
My heart is broken over this. She was my favorite Golden Girl growing up. Such an amazing and beautiful woman inside and out. Man I was looking forward to her celebrating her 100th Birthday. So sad that she and all of us won't be able to see that day. Rest Easy Queen. Say hi to the rest of the other Golden Girls for us. We Love You Betty! 🙏🏾😢💔
Betty White was EVERYTHING!!! OK Bright, shining, and full of life. Now she is an Angel💫 l don't feel sad, because that's not what she would want. Celebrate the life that touched us all. Sleep easy sweet lady!!!
Well said
Betty White didn't die, as an angel she just went back to heaven.
What do you mean "back to hevean"?
She was the sweetest lady, I’m so sad she had to leave us, especially 18 days before her 100th. She will never be forgotten.
The world lost a remarkable women who set her standards that everyone enjoyed. Betty White Started in radio before the age of 10 to a teenage actress to having her own show, movies, television to the status of legendary. She was not only the first lady of TV and movies, but the queen of entertainment. Everyone will remember her forever. GOOD BYE BETTY AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LAUGHS.
She was 8 years old.
Fly high beautiful angel! You will be greatly missed🙏❤
I've been so sadden about this news today. Betty White was the best. Truly national treasure ❤ You took off to the great unknown for another adventure. RIP Betty White. You will be missed 💔
Omg! I love this woman. I can't believe she's gone, I grew up in with her for nearly 50 years, she is basically my sassy TV grandma, she's is one of a kind. Thanks for the memories.
Such a sad sad day she was a true legend and there is such sadness all over the world we lost a beautiful soul who will forever be in. Y heart and will never be forgotten rip Betty
100 can be a boring number anyway. Dying at the age of 99.95 years (or thereabouts) comes off as cool. She was nothing if not cool.
👍 Well said. Cheers to Betty White, a true icon. 🍸
🍻
She seemed like a person that would talk to regular people who wasn't celebrity. She seemed so down to earth. She was one of the best who ever did it
She was genuine, gracious, and humble! Beautiful inside and out.
Betty White! was a truly a diamond. No diamond shine like Betty White she was truly the diamond in the sky.
😇 57 I AM 💙🙏🏾
What a sweetheart she was!
She accomplished what she was assigned to do while she was hear. She loved animals. Loved acting. Loved her late husband. They are together again. 😀 Loved people. She was one of The Greatest!
R.I.H. Auntie Betty White
Gone but NEVER forgotten. ❤️

@@joannwilliamsjackson1021 I know. I typed "here", but sometimes when I hit enter, words change to what the darn phone wants, and I didn't want to go back and type it again. Usually I do. But thanks for pointing it out because I get a little by myself when other people do it. Then I see how my phone act and have learned to let it go. Happy New Year! 😀🎉🥳
The world lost a shining light with Betty White’s passing. I was so certain she was going to see her 100th birthday - she had so much spunk. Now Betty and Alan are together again and who can be upset about that? He was the love of her life. God gained an Angel - a loveable, cheerful, humorous and humble one at that. Rest In Peace, Betty White.
She could say and do anything and people loved her no matter what. I loved how blunt she was and she always said what was on her mind. She was an icon that will be truly missed. R.I.P Betty White. We love you. :(
This news is just heartbreaking absolutely the best Betty will be missed
Betty will be sadly missed😥😢. Sad also that Betty was only 3 weeks shy of reaching 100 years of age. Thank you for all your wonderful talent that brought so many memorable 😅. 🙇for your caring 🧡 efforts to save & help Animals. R.I.P. dear Betty. The world needs more good-hearted people as you. 🧡💛🙏
To me her smile was just beautiful and her personality infectious. A True Hollywood star who was always a nice person. RIP Betty... you will be remembered.
She was a beautiful person inside and out she loved her work she loved her animals that's what kept her going but she left to go be with Allen in a timely fashion. She is in a place we all should want to go stroll over heaven with loved ones
The only actress I know with such a long career with no plastic surgery. Betty was amazing I'll never forget her on SNL at 88 she was awesome! Rest in peace❤.
With everything that she accomplished in her career, all you can think about is whether or not she had plastic surgery?? That is sad. If this was a man, you would not have made a comment about plastic surgery or what he looks like.
RIP to Betty White, you will be dearly missed
I’m still stunned and so numb….. She’s now having special bonding with her girls over Cheesecake in Heaven…. We love and miss you forever and always Betty💖💐 #ThankYouForBeingAFriend💖💐💖💐💖💐💖💐
Betty now knows the secret. RIP Ms. White.
It's the last day of 2021, we have lost the unforgettable, remarkable, sensational Betty White. Just an awful way to end the year by losing a legend. I'm saddened to hear she's gone. Betty White will be missed. I know she was 99 but I honestly expect her to go on living forever. She seemed almost untouchable. She was a gift from God to us all.
There are very few people as special as her! She was kind, caring, given, loving and so funny. Her humor was endless & flowed so easily. I loved how she could insult you with a smile. God gave us true treasure more value & precious than anything money could buy! I guess he decided it was time for Betty White final curtain call. He decided to bring home the extraordinary Betty White! I just know she's has everyone in heaven laughing.
RIP Betty White 🙏 you’re forever an incredible icon!!!! Rest easy, God received a gem today 🕊
I still can't believe it as I had hoped she'd get to 100.
Beautiful lady rest peacefully golden girl. Such an amazing woman
She was a good soul. May she rest in peace.
A REAL GOLDEN GIRL HAS LEFT US. THANKS YOU FOR ALL THE MEMORIES, AND LAUGHS YOU BROUGHT TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. R.I.P. MISS BETTY WHITE 🙏
She will be missed terribly, such an amazing woman.
Her attitude in life kept her young and relatable to all ages. Can't imagine a world without her. I mean, she lived through 50 of my years. Thank you for all the laughter and wisdom given through your life. 💖💕🌹
I've cried on and off all day over this loss. She was indeed the GOAT!
God blessed her with a wonderful long life that she truly deserved. The Golden Girls is still my favorite show! He comedic timing was like no other. May she rest in peace with her love Allen Ludden and the rest of her Golden Girls again!
What wonderful tributes, that everyone is saying, a beautiful woman and a fantastic legacy.
Betty White was a great person to everyone. She loved being n entertainment n I loved her sense of humor. Thank you Betty for always putting a smile on my face.🙏
A LEGEND and A GEM 💎!!! R.I.P. Betty White 🕊🥺💔❤️
The "Universal Grandma."
I was so looking forward to her 100th celebration. The only time I’ve ever shed a tear for a celebrity’s death before, was for John Lennon. You were definitely a pioneer and trailblazer for women in the tv and film industry. The world is very sad at your departure, but grateful that you graced our lives.
Good by to one of the best people ever on this planet. What a humble outlook on life and succeess. You are in Heven Love!!!
Rest In Peace , you were such an icon not only for Americans but for a lot of people around the world 🇮🇱 🇺🇸 😭
God bless her. Giving us soo many memories to carry on. Most of us wish to have met her but seeing her on TV gives us all smiles. Sleep in peace queen Betty white
She is an amazing woman. Thank you Betty for being in our lives and making the World a brighter place. Vale Ms Betty White. Xxx
"Don't think it's all about you because it isn't." Words of wisdom to everyone. Sometimes these new movie stars think they are so big, in reality there not they can be replaced and forgotten about as quickly as they made it to the top. Always appreciate what you have and your fans, because one day you may not have them anymore. Learn from her wisdom. Betty White was a legend. RIP Betty thank you for the memories and laughter. ❤
I hate that a lot of ppl don't talk about her role on Mama's Family
Ellen DEFINITELY deserves a mention. Her squabbles with Eunice were hilarious! But Betty was on the show for just the first 2 years before she and Rue left for Golden Girls, and to my recollection Ellen returned only once towards the end of Mama's Family when Thelma thought Ellen was dying but Ellen just needed light surgery on her foot LOL.
@@brklyn345 yes but remember Betty White also played Ellen in the very beginning when it was just a skit on The Carol Burnette Show
@@ericgreen179 I’ve only seen Mama’s Family on the Carol Burnett Show. I watched only one episode of the series and it wasn’t the same. But I hate to say that I actually forgot she was on Mama’s Family. I’m more familiar with her on Life With Elizabeth, game shows, and the Mary Tyler Moore show.
@@ericswanson9778 bro it's all good....Ive never heard of Life with Elizabeth.
Rest in Power Betty! This one cuts deep. I've watched her so long I feel like I know her. I think that was her intention in life, to make her fans feel like family.
Missing her more than I realized I would. RIP Angel.
Reminds me of my grandmother. She was an angel. Rest In Peace Betty.
I loved her in the th golden girls . She was truly an icon RIP
My favorite golden girl Mrs Betty White will be missed SO MUCH. My condolences to her family and friends.
RIP Betty, myself and my dad, who passed away a while ago, used to watch your Golden Girls show faithfully, and we would laugh together and my dad would cry laughing so much because of the corky sense of humor the show had, we enjoyed it very much. I hope you find peace in heaven and with all of God's angels, I bet you'll make them laugh as well. And maybe, just maybe my dad is there too, laughing along side with you...
Goodbye miss Betty! thank you for the lovely memories, may your legacy live on through the hearts of your family, friends, and fans! RIP Lovely 🤍
Rest in peace bettey

R.I.P Betty White we wil miss you

She spent her entire adult life in front of the camera! At 17 years old she sang on one of the first experimental TV broadcasts in Hollywood in 1939 just months before televison's official debut at the World's Fair that year!
😍👀She's just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. A truly stunning woman! You've made the world a better place! Thank you precious lady for all the wonderful memories. You will be greatly missed. All our ❤ RIP🌹
She was an up standing woman that will be so missed. Rip Betty white. We all will truly miss you
I can't believe Betty White has died just before her 100th birthday. She was a wonderful legendary icon and she will sadly be missed. My condolences to her family. 😢🕊🕊
Loved her on Golden Girls, she was classy and funny with a genuine wholesomeness to her character! R.I.P. Betty White! ⚘❤
Rest in peace! She outlived nearly all of her co-stars, even some decades younger .
What a truly amazing journey this has been from Betty White. Rest in heaven🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🕊🕊🕊
A legend that is already missed immensely. RIP Betty.
I liked that advice about not thinking that it’s all about you. I absolutely adored her on the Golden Girls, and she clearly was an inspiration to everyone she touched. The Golden Girls are all now eating cheesecake somewhere else. 💔
That's sad. She was the last person from The Golden Girls who was still living. May she rest in peace.
I would always watch the golden girl with my dad and I loved how rose was so positive and cheerful. I would wish to myself that Betty White was my grandmother cuz how she made me feel happy
almost made it to 100! She has lived a long and great life!
She and Prince Phillip almost made it to 100! May both RIP!
