After a year that claimed many of Hollywood’s brightest and best, it seemed near miraculous that our beloved Betty White – America’s grandmother, if you will – made it through 2016 unscathed.
Now is the the perfect time to rewind and revisit some of White’s most memorable TV appearances, going back to the early 1950s.
White, along with George Tibbles and Don Fedderson, created “Life with Elizabeth,” a collection of comedic shorts about the life of a married couple.
The series starred White and made her one of Hollywood’s first female producers.
During his lengthy run hosting “The Tonight Show,” Johnny Carson had a wealth of recurring comedians on to perform sketches with him, and White was one of the best.
Modern audiences likely know White for her iconic turn as the kind, if dim, Rose Nylund on the long-running NBC sitcom “The Golden Girls.” In this clip, Rose, along with roommates Blanche and Dorothy, want to make sure they’re fully protected as they head out on holiday.
Here’s another classic “Golden Girls” moment that highlights White and Arthur’s delightful comedic chemistry, as Dorothy struggles to confess a transgression to Rose.
Watch her last year just before she turned 94 as James Corden orchestrates a sketch called “Is Betty White Older Than?”.
