JAKARTA - Comedy actress Betty White who starred in the sitcom "The Golden Girls" has died three weeks before her 100th birthday. Betty's agent, Jeff Witjas, told People magazine, "Even though Betty is almost 100 years old, I think she will live forever."
It was not stated what the cause of death was. In a world of entertainment where youth is a force and actresses over 40 don't have much to offer, Betty White is an anomaly who became a star in her 60s and became a pop culture phenomenon in her 80s and 90s. He still starred in the sitcom "Hot in Cleveland" at the age of 92 until the series stopped airing in 2014.
White said his long life was the result of his good health, luck and love of work.
"It's amazing that I'm still in this industry and you guys still want to accept me," he said during an appearance at the 2018 Emmys awards ceremony to be honored for his long career.
He's not one to be afraid to crack jokes on himself, and joke about his sex life, or the unexpectedly sarcastic comments that come out of an elderly man with a sweet smile. He is often asked, after such a long career, whether there is still anything he can do. The standard answer is: "Robert Redford".
After news of her death emerged, President Joe Biden told reporters, "It's a shame. She was a lovely woman." His wife, Jill Biden, said, "Who doesn't love Betty White? We are so saddened by her passing."
Quoted from ANTARA, Betty Marion White was born on January 17, 1922 in Oak Park, Illinois. He began his career in entertainment in the late 1930s and made his TV debut in 1939 with a singing appearance on an experimental channel in Los Angeles. He was a regular member of "Hollywood on Television," a five-hour variety show that aired live daily, in 1949.
A few years later she became one of the first women on television to co-found a production company and was the creator, producer and star of the sitcom "Life with Elizabeth" in the 1950s.
In the '60s and early '70s, White was also on television, hosting and appearing on game shows such as "Match Game". She married Allen Ludden, host of "Password", her third and final husband, in 1963.
She won best supporting actress at the Emmys in 1975 and 1976 for the role of Sue Ann Nivens in "The Mary Tyler More Show". She won another Emmy in 1986 for "The Golden Girls," a sitcom about four middle-aged women living under the same roof in Miami.
Betty White, who has no children, is often involved in animal-related activities. He once turned down a role in the film "As Good as It Gets" because there was a scene where a dog was thrown into the trash can.
