Betty White's impact on the entertainment world endures through her remarkable film and television performances. The beloved star passed away at the age of 99, just a few days shy of what would have been her 100th birthday on January 17. Jeff Witjas, her agent and close friend, expressed his deep sorrow, stating, "Even though Betty was about to be 100, I thought she would live forever. I will deeply miss her, as will the animal world that she cherished so dearly. Betty never feared death because she longed to be reunited with her beloved husband Allen Ludden. She firmly believed that they would be together again.
Betty White's incredible career included over 120 acting credits, as listed on IMDb. She gained iconic status through her memorable television roles, such as Rose Nylund on the groundbreaking series The Golden Girls in the '80s and '90s, as well as Sue Ann Nivens on The Mary Tyler Moore Show in the '70s. If you're eager to relive the brilliance of White's comedic timing, numerous streaming platforms offer the opportunity to revisit her work. Many episodes can be rented or purchased on platforms like Amazon and iTunes.
To immerse yourself in the world of The Golden Girls, you can stream all seven seasons on Hulu. White's Emmy-winning portrayal of the lighthearted and somewhat airheaded Rose Nylund from St. Olaf, Minnesota, continues to captivate audiences. Additionally, The Mary Tyler Moore Show presents White as Sue Ann Nivens, Mary's friend-turned-enemy at the local news station. Hulu provides access to this classic series, showcasing White's exceptional talent.
White's final sitcom, Hot in Cleveland, aired from 2010 to 2015. The show features the actress in the role of a bawdy and lovable landlord who welcomes fellow cast members Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves, and Wendie Malick as they pursue romantic endeavors.
An extraordinary moment in White's career includes her hosting Saturday Night Live, an episode for which she received an Emmy. Initially declining Lorne Michaels' offer three times, White finally accepted and delivered a memorable performance. You can catch this episode on NBC's website or stream it on Hulu.
White also joined the short-lived Golden Girls spinoff, The Golden Palace, where her character Rose and Rue McClanahan's Blanche operate a hotel under the management of Don Cheadle. White's kindness and generosity were fondly remembered by Cheadle in a tribute following her passing. Starting January 10, you can stream The Golden Palace on Hulu.
