I was just talking to my husband about her career and how she is loved and admired. RIP Betty.

Just heard this. She allmost made it to her 100th birthday on January 17.

Yes. A Capricorn Queen!

I'm curious. Where did you get this news, Amylou? None of the major news networks are carrying this news. She just passed her 100th birthday and was in good health by all acceptable standards for someone her age.

I'm not challenging you, personally ....so please don't take offense to my question. Just trying to verify the news.

She was an icon in the world of entertainment.

RIP Betty.

It’s true. And so sad to hear the news. She lived a remarkable life and was so well-loved.

RIP. She was so funny and always a class act, along with being a huge advocate for animals. She will be missed.

Thank you. Apparently my links to CNN and other major news sources are lagging. I'm very sorry to learn of her demise. She was one of my favorites in life...and gave me something to aspire to...accumulative years wise.

I just heard this. She will definitely be missed.

One of the few classy ladies of Hollywood....she will be missed.

A good long life. Awesome career and well thought of I believe. God bless her soul.

I felt bad when i heard this. Wish she‘d made it to 100. What a plucky lady.

So sad, what a cheeky gal, always bringing a laugh whether naughty or not. It sounded like she went on her own terms too, remarkably healthy and bright all these years, quietly at home.

I was so bummed when I heard this earlier. I was in denial for a bit, actually. The whole world was set to celebrate her 100th.

Here's the video of Betty receiving the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award in January 2010. It was presented to her by Sandra Bullock. It's a cute and funny video.

So this morning, before the news of her death broke, Steve Martin Tweeted a lovely memory. When Martin was a relative unknown in the early 70s he was opening for Linda Ronstadt at some venue in LA. He saw Betty White and her husband, Allen Ludden, in the lobby before the performance and introduced himself, exclaiming the honor it was to meet her. And then he remarked on what a great singer Ronstadt was, to which White replied that she and her husband were there to see him, Martin. "We were told you're funny," she said.

Here is a fun skit. It takes 55 secs to get to the good stuff.

Oh so sad. She was a phenomenon! She certainly lived a good long life. RIP.

Zalco, that was a funny skit 😂

I think The Proposal is my favorite Sandra Bullock movie. Made even better by Betty's role in the movie.

"Thank you for being a friend." RIP.

She has been a favorite of mine for so many, many years. Agree totaly with @lily316.

Sad news -- she represented so many good qualities. A life well lived. RIP Betty.

I just saw this on Facebook. Sorry to hear this RIP Betty. Betty White

One of the few celebrities I liked. She had a good, long life.

She was a truly all-around wonderful human being. My hope is that she’ll be dancing in Heaven tonight with her dear husband, Allen Ludden.

I don't know anybody who doesn't like her. I loved her devilish smile. She was downright cute. I think she was my favorite character on the Mary Tyler Moore show. It was just nice knowing she was in the world somewhere all these years. I'll miss her too.

The irony is that she is on the cover of People this week saying it's celebrating her 100th birthday. They were a little premature and should give her another cover story this week as well. I am so sad she's gone. No one like her in the business anymore.

That's too bad. I will miss her.

I always admired her. To me she always seemed to have a bit of a charmed life. She seemed to treat people well. I think as a result Hollywood treated her well.

She was just an incredibly funny lady and I have always admired her. Thank you for a million laughs Betty

She had a 15 minute show called Life with Elzabeth. in the 1950s. on it she was married and could get into trouble just that fast. and then bite her lip and look around and smile with her dimples showing. My mom and I watched it as i had my breakfast.

What I remember most about her is a Snickers commercial she was in that aired during the Superbowl about 12 years ago (One of those "you're not you when you're hungry" ones). RIP Ms. White.

what an awesome life! G.G. still my favorite late night show to watch and fall asleep to:)

I'm happy she knew how beloved she was. Even Alex Trebek said he wanted her to replace him on Jeopardy, remember?

saw this just now, too good not to share:

There's a great idea going around Facebook. That everyone donate to an animal shelter on January 17 (would have been her 100th birthday) in her honor because of her love for animals and all she did for them. I love it!

^^^^^^^^^^

I don't think there is or was a more beloved well-known person as Betty White. It's almost like a family member died. I think it's a wonderful idea to give a donation on her 100th birthday to an animal shelter.
