Betty White legendary actress and America's favorite senior citizen - Video

Didn’t at least some part of you think Betty White would go on forever? There are stars whose deaths are a surprise because, let’s face it, we forgot they were still alive. White’s death on Dec. 31 is a shock because she was so incredibly alive, from her start as a TV ingénue to her reign as America’s favorite senior citizen. Surely we can be forgiven for thinking she was always with us, and always would be. White died Friday, her agent and friend Jeff Witjas confirmed to USA TODAY."Betty has had a fantastic life and career and she was one of the most positive people I know.  She is now reunited with her (late husband) Allen Ludden."A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department also confirmed to USA TODAY that they “responded to a death investigation call around 9:30 this morning," but declined to provide a name. She was set to celebrate her 100th birthday on Jan. 17 and had big plans to do so. On Dec. 17, she invited fans via a tweet to mark the major milestone with "100 Years Young," a nearly 2-hour film about her with cameos from White's friends including Ryan Reynolds, Tina Fey, Robert Redford, Lin Manuel- Miranda, Clint Eastwood, Jimmy Kimmel and others. She also tweeted on Dec. 28 about her milestone birthday. "My 100th birthday… I cannot believe it is coming up," she shared alongside a magazine cover she did with People. The issue featuring White hit newsstands Dec. 29. Betty White's 99th birthday: Her top tips for living a long and healthy lifeHas any TV star ever had a better run? Her 21 Primetime Emmy nominations, stretching over seven decades from 1951 to 2014, and five wins — with a Daytime Emmy thrown in — only begin to tell the story. From her very first television series, "Life With Elizabeth," there has hardly been a time when she has not been a regular presence in our homes: From "Date With the Angels" through "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "The Betty White Show," "Mama’s Family," "The Golden Girls," "Boston Legal," "Hot in Cleveland" and "Betty White’s Off Their Rockers."And that’s not to mention the years of afternoons we spent watching her on game-show panels, including "To Tell the Truth," "What’s My Line," "Girl Talk," "The Match Game," "You Don’t Say!," "Just Men!," "The Hollywood Squares," "The $25,000 Pyramid" — and of course "Password," the show where she met her third husband, Allen Ludden. As "Hot in Cleveland" reached its 2015 finale, White, a spry 93, told USA TODAY she was open to more acting work."That's one of the things I appreciate the most, that I'm still invited to work. Usually, you get to a given age —  and that's a couple of decades ago for me — and (work) dries up, but, oh, I've been so lucky," said White, who followed "Cleveland" with guest appearances on "Bones" and a few other acting projects. "Work is just a joy. I know it can't go on forever, but I'm making the most of whatever comes along.
