Betty White has passed away.
This is what I wrote about her on my Facebook page:
In a legendary career that spanned more than 80 years, she was Sue Ann Nivens the Happy Homemaker on The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
She was every bit as vital a cog as a panelist as Richard, Brett, Charles and Nipsey on the original (and unsurpassed) Match Game.
She was our beloved sweetly naive Rose Nylund from St. Olaf, Minnesota on The Golden Girls.
She was the razor sharp and tart-tongued landlord Elka Ostrovsky on Hot in Cleveland.
In between those signature roles, there were so many appearances on TV, in films, commercials and game shows that her Wikipedia page career highlights are broken down by DECADE!
She is Betty White, a superb actress who made generations of fans laugh through her Emmy-winning comedic work.
Betty White passed away today at the age of 99, just 17 days from what would've been her 100th birthday.
Life suddenly seems just a tad bit less funny now.
Rest in Peace Ms. White. Thanks for all those sweet and outrageously funny characters and memories you gave to me and everyone else.
