Betty White is dead, at age 99, just weeks before her 100th birthday. Seems to be a fitting end to a miserable 2021. Betty White was one of the good people, not overly political but a very strong animal lover. She is one of the few actresses that will be missed. Of course, who could forget her role in the ’80s comedy Golden Girls? Or her ’70s roll in the Mary Tyler Moore show? Oh and if you watched 70s game shows, she was a fixture there too, like Match Game.
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.
A trailblazer and pioneer in media, Betty had the longest running career for any woman in TV prior to her death — starring in multiple shows over the past 8 decades, starting way back in 1939.
Betty is perhaps most famous for her lead role as Rose Nylund in “The Golden Girls,” which ran from 1985 to 1992. She’d been in TONS of other big hits throughout her life though.
