December 31, 20213 yr This saddens me more than I would have expected. Amazing to star in a show about old women and then live another 35 years.
December 31, 20213 yr she may be one of last people to pass who appeared on any type of television in the US prior to WW2, which was extremely limited to a handful of attempts in Philadelphia (Farnsworth), NY (RCA/Zworykin), and apparently LA, which I was unaware of until just now finding a JSTOR article linked from white's wiki
December 31, 20213 yr I saw that Tweet from Martin this morning and I immediately feared the worst. But as the day went by and nothing else was reported I thought maybe he was just sending out a tweet reminding us of what an amazing person Betty was. Damn. I really wanted her to make it to 100. She was such a talented comic.
December 31, 20213 yr Who is left from the Golden Age oh Hollywood? Angela Lansbury and Sidney Poitier for sure.

December 31, 20213 yr Loved her as Sue Ann Niven on MTM, and of course GG and Lake Placid. They showed her snickers clip on MSNBC.
December 31, 20213 yr Goodbye to one very classy dame... thanks for all the smiles and laughs through the years.
December 31, 20213 yr So…..I think my daughter killed Betty. We were eating bbq at Blacks after a trip to the gun range, and the conversation turned to the queen, and the boy said she was gonna live forever. Daughter said “not true, she’ll kick it before Betty White does.”10 minutes later, the boy’s phone buzzed with the news that Betty had died.Sorry, guys. My daughter feels terrible, FWIW.

December 31, 20213 yr RIP. She was a real one which is rare I. Hollywood. She was also the last person alive that saw aggy win anything of significance
January 1, 20223 yr Fuck 20-21. If she had made it through one more day she'd probably live another 20 years.

January 1, 20223 yr Betty White always reminded me of my own grandmother. They looked very similar, younger and older, and were very similar in personality and wit. Her death is like losing my grandmother all over again. NY Mag has a obituary. Quote White was known as The First Lady of Television (the title of a documentary about her career) not just because of her easygoing authority and stealthy influence but because she was the first woman to do all sorts of things in a medium where men held most of the power. An actor, singer, dancer, talk and game show host, and producer whose costars ranged from Eddie Albert to Ryan Reynolds, White was a big name on TV in the 1940s, ’50s, ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, aughts, and beyond. She won five Emmys for her performances and was nominated for 16 more, most recently in 2011, for Hot in Cleveland. She was television when television as we knew it was lights and vacuum tubes in a box. She was television when the box turned into a flat panel and became high-def. She was television when television became one of a zillion things we could watch on little combination pocket computer-phones. Betty White was analog and digital, black-and-white and 8K OLED, Truman and Biden. https://www.vulture.com/article/betty-white-obituary-legacy-tv-history.html?utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=social_acct&utm_campaign=nym&utm_content=nym&utm_term=curalate_like2buy_K7xsY9mK__310f8747-6987-4a78-9eff-6d16f486ebf0
January 2, 20223 yr Crazy how many MTM cast were lost this year: white, asner, Macleod and leachman. Or maybe it’s more amazing that so many of them lived into their 90s.
