As Betty White, an American actress, once said, “Retirement is not in my vocabulary. They are not going to get rid of me that way.” Betty White, the last living Golden Girl, died on December 31, 2021, just a few weeks before her hundredth birthday. Her death was the result of a stroke she had six days prior. She died in her home in Los Angeles, with her longtime agent and friend, Jeff Witjas ,confirming her death. She was cremated and her remains were given to Glenn Kaplan, who was in charge of White’s advanced healthcare directive. White was born in Illinois in 1922 and moved to Hollywood to start her acting and modeling career during the Great Depression. Years later at the age of 19, White put her career on pause as World War II began and she worked with the American Women’s Voluntary Service. She worked for this organization for five years,where she drove a truck delivering supplies to the Hollywood Hills. The United States military released a statement following her death. “We are saddened by the passing of Betty White,” a U.S. Army representative said. “Not only was she an amazing actress, she also served during WWII as a member of the American Women’s Voluntary Services. A true legend on and off the screen.” After the war, her career picked up when she landed her own radio show and appeared on a variety of talk shows. She started being on television in the early 1950s and won her first Emmy for best television actress in 1951, whichwas the first category to recognize the achievements of women in the industry. White became the first female producer in Hollywood, when she produced the television sitcom “Life with Elizabeth.” She married Allen Ludden in 1963, although he passed in 1981. Her first big role was Sue Ann Nivens in “The Mary Tyler Moore” show in the 1970s, for which she won two Emmy Awards. Her most famous role, however, was Rose Nylund in “Golden Girls,’’ which aired through the 1980s and 1990s. The show won an Emmy for outstanding comedy in 1986. She continued her career in the 2000s and 2010s. She was honored with a lifetime achievement Emmy in 2015 when she was 93 years old. Although she had a well-known career on screen, what some people do not know about Betty White is that she has worked with the Los Angeles Zoo and the Morris Animal Foundation for over four decades, as she was passionate about helping animals. The Morris Animal Foundation was able to create the Betty White Wildlife Rapid Response fund with a donation from White in 2010 and this fund has provided one million dollars to support wildlife disasters. In 2013, the American Association of Zoo Keepers made her an honorary zookeeper. “Animals are near and dear to my heart, and I have devoted my life to trying to improve their lives,” White said. Betty White will be known as a legend to many people. Some say she would not want to be remembered as just an actress but also an animal lover and a woman who broke boundaries in the entertainment industry.
