About two weeks shy of her 100th birthday. She will be missed, but she had one helluva run.
Just saw the flash on Dataminr.
Well if 2021 didn’t suck enough, one more kick eh?
The sourcing on this is pretty weak so far.
It’s on TMZ, which is trashy, but usually reliable on these things. I imagine that, if confirmed, it’ll show up on the major news sources very shortly.
Yeah, they’re not going to be inaccurate on something like this.
RIP Betty White.
First Madden. Now her.
My heart is sad for the loss of two genuinely good people who I never met, but who were lights in my life.
I know her memory will be a blessing.
That’s what I thought, but confirmations are now appearing (TMZ, Yahoo, CBS).
mmm
She was already in the news because she was giving interviews on turning 100 in a few weeks.
Like it says in the OP, she had a hell of a run. When the Golden Girls ended production in 1992 I don’t think anyone could have imagined Betty White would be more popular than ever nearly 30 years later.
And Desmond Tutu. They say celebrity deaths come in threes.
Yes I find them trashy for subject matter: celebrity chasing. They do have a good track record of breaking big stories.
Her tips on how to live a long and happy life:
TL;DR: vodka and hotdogs.
Sure they do, if you divide them up that way.
I personally think they come in nines.
RIP Betty. Nobody ever aged as gracefully as you.
mmm
Wow, what a shame. But it is fitting ending for 2021. A Shitty ending to a shitty year.
You can almost hear her thinking, “Screw this. I’m outta here!”
RIP, wonderful funny lady.
Olivia de Havilland would like a word.
I’m going to miss her muffin.
RIP Betty. The people of St. Olaf sure knew how to take care of their old people.
They revered them. Honored them. Put them on a pedestal.
'Course that’s how they got to be the broken hip capital of the Midwest…
It’s hitting multiple news sources now, including People and the WaPo.
RIP Betty. Allen is waiting for you.
