White passed away as the last remaining Golden Girl and working until the very end. She leaves behind three stepchildren with Allen Ludden, who passed away from stomach cancer in 1981.

What am I missing? She gave viewers many good laughs? Even Udon Map's thewatchman manages to at times serve up a good laugh.

Whilst not quite putting it as bluntly as GT ........... she wasnt exactly what you would call a superstar (having read the link above I dont think I ever saw anything with her in), and if the few clips I've seen from Golden Girls were "highlights" I hate to think how poor the rest of the programme was. I'm sure she was a very nice person who will be missed by her family and friends, but there have probably been a hundred other bit part actors/sportspersons who have died in the last year that that did not get a thread in their memory on udonmap

Yes although I think you're being kind. There are lots of shocking wxnkers, usually male (thewatchman ;) ) , in the entertainment industry.

A great career on TV series along with Commercials and a dedicated animal advocate

https://etcanada.com/news/853269/betty- ... mmercials/

White became a staple panelist of American game shows, including Password, Match Game, Tattletales, To Tell the Truth, The Hollywood Squares, and The $25,000 Pyramid; dubbed "the first lady of game shows", White became the first woman to receive the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host for the show Just Men! in 1983.[8] She was also known for her appearances on The Bold and the Beautiful, Boston Legal, The Carol Burnett Show, and Saturday Night Live. Her most notable roles include Sue Ann Nivens on the CBS sitcom The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1973–1977), Rose Nylund on the NBC sitcom The Golden Girls (1985–1992), and Elka Ostrovsky on the TV Land sitcom Hot in Cleveland (2010–2015).

Did she put her knife and fork into farm animals? I read her 93rd birthday cake was a vegan cake but she wasn't perceived as vegan.

Hopefully, for the sake of the thread, she didn't have anything bad to say about Israel.....

That probably explains why I didn't even recognise her when shown a photo ........ American game shows tend not to be shown outside America, and the likes of Bold & Beautiful etc only lasted a short time on mainstream tv in UK

Didn't do anything for me either but I find your comment disrespectful. Why did you post in this thread if not interested in the lady?

It is hardly surprising that people who have not lived in Canada or the United States do not much about Betty White. They did not have much exposure to her genius as Sue Ann Nivens. On the other hand, I remember tamada posted about a BBC presenter a week or so ago. I doubt there were many comments about her from UM members that live in Canada or the U.S. The same is true of tributes to cricket, rugby or soccer players. People in British North America and the U.S. generally have no idea who these people are. Other than GT's rude comment, no-one should be upset that few UM members are not familiar with the late Betty White.

Can’t remember the name of the movie, but I remember her and Ryan Reynolds had a thing going, jokingly, over the years after that movie was made. It had Sandra Bullock in it.

The Proposal

I used to "have a thing" for Sandra Bullock pre plastic surgery when she was naturally stunning.

Hope that helps.
