Actress, Comedienne, and Icon Betty White Passed Away at Age 99

By Sara Roncero-MenendezDecember 31, 2021

Betty White, icon and the Internet’s favorite grandma, passed away today at the age of 99. White was an actress whose career spanned radio, film, and television, acting for over 70 years. She is best known for her work on The Golden Girls, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and Hot in Cleveland. According to her agent, she died in her sleep in her home. She was only seventeen days away from turning 100.

White first started acting after serving as a volunteer in World War II, as part of the American Women’s Voluntary Services. She started in radio, getting her own show, before transitioning to TV. She was also the first woman to produce a sitcom, Life with Elizabeth, and the first woman to win the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host. She worked on other classics like The Proposal, The Match Game, The Bold and the Beautiful, and even hosted Saturday Night Live.

Our national treasure, Betty White, has passed just before her 100th birthday. Our Sue Ann Nivens, our beloved Rose Nylund, has joined the heavens to delight the stars with her inimitable style, humor, and charm. A great loss to us all. We shall miss her dearly.

RIP Betty White, the only SNL host I ever saw get a standing ovation at the after party. A party at which she ordered a vodka and a hotdog and stayed til the bitter end.

I met Betty White several times over the years, in many green rooms. She was a vanguard who paved the way for women in TV. Now we say goodbye to her irrepressible presence, and like millions of others, I will miss her. Thank you for all the joy and laughter, Betty ❤️ pic.twitter.com/XTxLaVFTlw

A reporter by trade, Sara is a lover of horror, sci-fi, and all things pop culture. From indies to classics to even the strangest schlock, all movies and TV shows are fair game. She believes Batman is the most fascinating superhero, and that Silent Hill is one of the best horror franchises ever made (as long as you don't count the movies). Fun Fact: The only movie Sara will not rewatch is The Room -- once was more than enough.
