Sad to hear that. A great person as far as I can tell.

Default R-I-P Betty White

And just a few days before her 100 birthday

I loved her acting, and those oh so cute dimples. I’m sad, but not surprised, you know?

What a fantastic person Mrs. White was. She had some sense of humor. R.I.P.

Betty sure made a significant impact on a lot of us as an entertainer. Loved her vibe. But what's eerie to me is that a weatherperson on the morning news a few days ago said "wouldn't it be awful if she didn't make it to 100". Yikes.

I loved her wicked, and oft times bawdy sense of humor... This "fake" fight with Ryan Reynolds still cracks me up!

I knew Betty White as a comedienne and TV personality but she blew me away with her acting chops in the movie, "The Lost Valentine". I have a new found appreciation of her talent for her work in that movie.

RIP lovely lady.

My wife and I watched "The Lost Valentine" New Years Eve. Cried all the way through it. Betty White was sensational. R.I.P.

It was a hard year for the cast of the Golden Girls. All will be missed. Enjoy your new act Betty. We will miss you.

She was one of a kind, in anything she did. Was really hoping she'd make 100 and still in good health. Seemed as if her mind was still 100% but her body gave out. She left so many great memories for us all. Have to believe that some network will produce a Special with all of her memorable TV work.

LOVED Betty in the 30 sec Snickers Super Bowl commercial from 2010>

Great lady!

I think I liked her best as the lecherous TV "Happy Homemaker", Sue Ann Nivens, on the Mary Tyler Moore show. That show had a lot of great comedians & comediennes But the Sue Ann character was one of the best.

she never lost her impeccable timing. even dying before the end of 2021. it would have been a real downer as a start to the new year.
