Betty White celebrates 97th birthday: Her best quotes ever

[Bayard]

(From January, but this is a must see clip)

Sure, Mary Tyler Moore could turn the world on with her smile — but her scene-stealing co-star, Betty White, is the one who stole our hearts for the long haul.

From her pioneering work in the 1950s (she was the first woman to produce a sitcom) to her 1970s break-though as the oversexed Sueanne Nivens on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” to innocent naif Rose Nylund on “The Golden Girls,” Betty has always been a sure bet.

Jan. 22 marks the television icon‘s 97th birthday. In honor of this momentous occasion, we’re taking a look back at some of the best bon mots from this unabashed vodka lover‘s nearly 70 years in the entertainment biz:

This woman has always been a hoot, and her work with animals makes her doubly lovable.

4. Betty White is a treasure.

Like this clip (that also makes Sandra Bullock more than tolerable).

5. Doesn't look a day over 78.

6. Bea Arthur's face should have a place in the credits all to itself! What a marvellous group...

...the Golden Girls were.

7. I would love to see the out takes!

8. Viewed the video...hilarious! You know that originally Betty and Rue were switched...Betty

Was to play the sex fiend role after her Sueann role on MTM.Both such good actresses, hard to imagine them in the other's role. Someone mentioned outtakes...that would be a great video!

9. Three people I want to see outlive Trump.

Betty White, RBG, and Jimmy Carter.

10. Ah, she's great. But my favorite was always Sophia (Dorothy, a close second)

Few did sarcasm like Bea Arthur and Estelle Getty - especially as comebacks to Rose.

11. Happy Birthday, Betty!

. . . and thank you for being our friend!

[Duppers]

12. The writers must've been stoned

To have come up with some of those hilarious lines and Betty's delivery was amazing.

Thanks for the many laugh out loud chuckles, Bayard. 😅

13. I love Betty White!

I think the SNL episode she starred in was probably one of the funniest I had ever seen! She is a fantastic comedienne!
