Betty White passed away today, just days before her 100th birthday on January 17th. Jeff Witjas, her agent and friend, said, “Even though Betty was about to be 100, I thought she would live forever… I don’t think Betty ever feared passing because she always wanted to be with her most beloved husband, Allen Ludden.”
What more can someone say about America’s sweetheart, who everyone loved. Whether you got to her know her on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Golden Girls, Hot In Cleveland, the game shows, the late night appearance, and everything else she did, you couldn’t help but to adore her.
I interviewed her, and she was just what you thought she would be. The actress was the nicest person you could meet, and she was also humble with all of the success she had throughout her career. One night, me and a friend went backstage and got to talk to her after a taping of Hot in Cleveland. She thanked us for laughing at all the right times. I thanked her for making us laugh.
And I thank her again for all of those laughs. So spend today watching her do just that and laugh with her. You can see her shows all over the TV. And if you want to make it even more special, you can check out her first two sitcoms, Life with Elizabeth and Date with the Angels, on Tubi, today.
I guess today was her day to have a date with the angels and be with her late husband and the love of her life Allen Ludden. Hopefully, she is being greeted by him at the Rainbow Bridge by all the animals she loved on her way to the Pearly Gates.
