R.I.P Betty White (1922-2021) - passed away at the age of 99

Betty White Dead at 99 reports TMZ.

"Beloved actress, comedian and American icon Betty White has died, just weeks before a milestone birthday ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Betty passed away at her home Friday morning."

100th birthday would've been January 17th.

 

No 100. No 2022. Horrible news.

 

But what a fabulous long life she had. Loved to the end.

Still, it’s a shame she didn’t make her next ‘big’ birthday.

 

Sad news. So close to making that 100th birthday.

Fathom Events had a 100th birthday celebration scheduled for her in late January. Apparently a documentary that had already been completed. Not sure if there was going to be any live component to it.

RIP. So funny. Her support for animals was inspiring, a life well lived.

Damn. She was cool.

 

Her last interview:

Betty White Reveals Her Secrets to a Happy Life at 100: 'I'm So Lucky to Be in Such Good Health'

 

I knew it was coming but I really did think she was going to make it to 100 given how close her birthday was from now.

One of a kind, there will never be another like her

 

Man, what a great life. Here's to her! It's crazy it happened 17 days from her 100th birthday, but she lived a long, full, good life.

BUZZR Game Show channel had been advertising an all Betty White weekend for her 100th. I hope they go through with it.

As stated, a great life. A great wife to Allen Ludden. And a great friend to all the animals she championed.

 

A constant source of kindness and good cheer, with a touch of tart, for 99 years. Thanks and RIP.

 

This makes me sadder than it should (a celebrity I never knew). She seemed like such a great person and what a terrific run she had. 100 is just a number but a milestone nonetheless. RIP.

 

And another interview:

Betty White's secret to a long, happy, healthy life (Hint: it came from her mom)

 

Sad news. I feel like a beloved aunt has died. She lived a great long life, but the world feels a little bit more chilly without her today.

 

Sad news, but I'm sure she wouldn't have cared much if she reached 100 anyway. She had a happy and healthy attitude about life and hers was well-lived.

 

This puts it better than I can:

I'm an engineer. This rounds up to 100, for sure!

Our world is a bit poorer without Betty White in it.

 

Not only are all the Golden Girls gone, but now so is the entire MTM cast, four of them (Cloris, Gavin McLeod, Ed Asner and Betty) died this year alone.

Weird to think this was less than a decade ago and now all five of these ladies are no longer here

 

Thanks for your work, RIP!

 

Peace to her family and for all of us who found great joy in her work and as a fellow human being.

 

Not necessarily a great movie by any stretch, but to me, she was pretty much the only part I even remember about Lake Placid, she stole every scene she was in and I remember my mom and I laughing together at it

 

RIP to an Icon for 9 decades of work in entertainment industry!

Rest easy Betty White you never failed to deliver humor into our lives.
