Rest in peace, Betty White...

From a picture history in The Guardian:

"As a girl, she wanted to be a forest ranger, but as women weren't allowed to do the job, she decided to become an actor."​

She was also a passionate animal lover.

And this, which made me do a double take. Johnny Carson & White doing a skecth about Tarzan in 1981

In the Golden Girl's she played an old Italian woman and did well at it.....

She was fantastic in Lake Placid, best part of the movie.

She also had one of the funniest roles in Bringing Down the House...

At the grocery today saw a magazine in the checkout line " Betty White turns 100". Got home and my wife said OH Betty White passed away. Crazy.. She always made us laugh. God Bless Her...RIP

Came across a bit she did ad lobbing about the herring wars on another forum-too funny [emoji38]

Someone on the internet made a good point

She missed making it to 100 years old by 18 days

However

She also lived through 24 leap years

So we should really give it to her.

She was a jewel.
Often used self-deprecation in her humor and usually stole the scenes she was in.
RIP

Here's Betty White's 1977 seafoam green Seville, a gift from husband Allen Ludden which she called "parakeet" and drove up to the 2000's. It is on display at the AACA Museum in Hershey PA.

RIP Betty, you were, no, are wonderful!

It was a sad end to the year. A number of talented, gifted individuals passed away before the ball dropped: Betty, Sam Jones, the Celtic champion, our Nevada Senator Harry Reid... I'll let Rusty fill in the others, his memory is better than mine.

Before everyone gets too teared up over her death, remember that she was very outspoken advocate for gun control.

When asked "Is there anything in Hollywood you haven't done that you wanted to?" She replied " Robert Redford"


Also, while she may have favored gun controls:
Betty White began working as an actress and model in the late 1930s, her aspirations were put on hold during the Second World War. A month before her 20th birthday in 1941, she went to work with the American Women's Voluntary Services (AWVS).

For that I respect her. She EARNED her right too speak, unlike the vast majority of antis
