Betty White, one of the last of the Golden Age(for certain values of "golden") of Hollywood, passed away on New Years 17 days before her 100th.

Probably best known as Rose in The Golden Girls, she won 8 Emmys, 3 SAG awards, and held the Guinness world record for work in television for her eight decades.

RIP, Ms White, you've earn that rest.

No worries, was already on it. Just had to re-figure out how the "move topics" screen works, it's been a while.

Unless you're an American of a Certain Age, in which case your first lookup for her is going to be her virtual ownership of daytime game shows in the '70s and '80s (and '60s, for that matter, but I'm not old enough to remember that part).

Yeap, thought to add it along the world record, but felt it was getting clunky as it was.

I tend to default to Sue Ann Nivens myself. But I watched a lot of MTM reruns in my youth.

Likewise, but from first run episodes instead of syndicated reruns.
