+ azdr0710 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 "If a couple has been together all that time – and there are gay relationships that are more solid than some heterosexual ones – I think it's fine if they want to get married. I don't know how people can get so anti-something. Mind your own business, take care of your affairs, and don't worry about other people so much". + Pensant, whipped guy, jgoo and 9 others 2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioRob Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 A terrific actress, a fantastic comedian, and an all around good person. She was larger than life and never let it go to her head. I will sincerely cherish all of the laughs she’s given me over the years. And I know there’s going to be one hell of a reunion party in heaven tonight. + sync, + Lucky, whipped guy and 11 others 7 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad for her passing but happy for her long well lived life. https://www.fathomevents.com/events/Betty-White-100-Years-Young It seems to be a well known fact that many people pass close to their birthday. I surely thought Betty would reach her 100th milestone especially that she was in good shape for her age. One never knows when our number is up. RIP Betty, a truly special lady who remained humbled throughout her remarkable career. 😇 marylander1940, jeezifonly, jgoo and 3 others 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeezifonly Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 As a kid, regular trips to family in Long Island always included a day-trip into the city. Saw a taping of Password and got autographs at the stage door as she left with her husband. She was beyond gracious and talked to us for longer than necessary. She’s been a constant presence in my life til today, and I love that she had no doubt about how loved she was!

CuriousByNature Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Amazing comedienne. She added something special to every show she was cast in. One of the last of the great ones from the golden age of television, now leaving Norman Lear and Carol Burnett to carry the torch. + bigjoey, + glutes, Marc in Calif and 4 others 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ glutes Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Betty White wasn't just a nice lady. People know about her work for humane treatment of animals, but maybe because it was back in the 1950s and 60s, we've forgotten what a trailblazer she was. Her production company was female led. Bandy Productions produced her first TV shoe "Life with Elizabeth" when she was only 28. She was also a supporter of the LGBTAQ+ community even back in the 70s. We were very lucky to have her. + Pensant, + bigjoey, marylander1940 and 4 others 2 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ WilliamM Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I I liked Betty White as the sharp tongued "Happy Homemaker" on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Her recipes always seemed a way to get Mr. Grant (Ed Asner) into her quite large comfortable bed. I don't remember watching The Golden Girls.

When she was on Maude in the mid-70s she looked about 40 or so to me. marylander1940 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
