Rest in Peace Betty White

[wildone]

I think America and the world lost one of the greatest female comedians of our time.

Betty White passed away at the age of 99.

I remember her from multiple TV shows, but have to admit Golden Girls was my favourite.

Rest in Peace Betty

I just seen this earlier and was shocked! I was so wanting her to have her 100th birthday! This was one that truly deserved it! She loved to make people laugh! Will miss her! RIP Betty White!

A comic genius.  RIP Betty!

This is how I will remember her with kind memories—someone who made me smile from my childhood days.

What a loss and just 17 days short of her 100th birthday.  I can't thank her enough for the enjoyment she gave me with her appearances of various game shows, guest appearances, her role as Ann Nivens on the Mary Tyler Moore Show, and her role as Rose on The Golden Girls.  Rest in peace, Betty.  You've certainly earned it and now you can be with your loving husband, Allen Ludden.

R.I.P. Betty White.

She was a wonderful performer and a wonderful human being. 

[Valkyrie]

The Golden Girls is one of my all-time favorite shows.  I watch it every Sunday on TV Land.  She was an amazing actor, advocate for animals, and a truly great human being.

December 31 and I thought this terrible year was finally over and then, we lost Betty. I think every English speaking adult that I know, knew who she was. Eighty years spent entertaining us will do that. It was her mastery of comedy that all but gaurantees it. Gone but not to be forgotten. Reruns are forever.

This article from People, tells a whole bunch, that most of us (me included) didn't know.

Betty White Reveals Her Secrets to Long, Happy Life | PEOPLE.com

 

In a 2012 TimesTalks conversation with New York Times columnist Frank Bruni, White said she found "nothing" difficult about getting older, citing her mother's own optimistic approach to death.

"My mother had a wonderful approach to death," White said. "She always thought of it as — she said, 'We know we have managed to find out almost anything that exists, but nobody knows ... what happens at that moment when it's over.' "

She continued: "And she said, 'It's the one secret that we don't know.' So whenever we would lose somebody very close and very dear, she would always say, 'Well, now he knows the secret.' And it took the curse off of it somehow."

 

 

Rest in Peace,

Betty White

I found this on Twitter, with reference to her only being 99. It makes perfect sense to me.

On one hand she was 99 years 348 days old when she died. On the other hand she lived through 24 leap years, i.e. 24 extra days. All I'm saying is mathematically, it arguably checks out that she lived 100 years and 7 days. #restinpower #bettywhite

Speaking of, SNL plans on re-airing her 2010 episode tonight.

TV Land is remembering Betty by running The Golden Girls and Hot In Cleveland for the weekend.

It is rare that we have people in this world that touches the lives of generations. We got that with Betty White and I'm glad of it. She walked through life in such an exemplary way that it still amazes me when I read about her life. I typically don't get emotional when a celebrity leaves us, but for Betty I do feel her loss. I hope she felt some of the weight of the good and joy she brought people with her life and work.

I heard this morning that they're still planning to go ahead with the 100th celebration.
