Betty White is not going to be idle when she celebrates her 99th birthday on Sunday.

The television legend, who was born Jan. 17, 1922, in Oak Park, Illinois, will be in quarantine but also will be paying attention to animals.

“You probably didn’t ask, but I’ll tell you anyway,” White told “Entertainment Tonight.” “What am I doing for my birthday? Running a mile each morning has been curtailed by COVID, so I am working on getting ‘The Pet Set’ re-released, and feeding the two ducks who come to visit me every day.”

“The Pet Set” was White’s 1971 show that co-starred her husband, game-show host Allen Ludden, who also produced the series. The show, which had 31 episodes, included appearances by such stars as Vincent Price, Andy Williams, Bob Crane, Rod Serling, Jim Nabors, Doris Day, Della Reese, Mike Connors and others.

The stars spoke about their pets, including a wide range of animals such as bears, cougars, elephants, gorillas, kangaroos, tigers and zebras. The animals were spotlighted in the studio and on location, Entertainment Tonight reported.

The show will be re-released digitally and on DVD on Feb. 23, in time for the show’s 50th anniversary, “Today” reported.

3. Awww! I never saw that show and I'd be interested!

Kudos and the happiest of birthdays to the incomparable Betty White!

[nuxvomica]

4. I want to see that show

It looks like a lot of fun, having celebrities, real ones who actually accomplished stuff, not reality-TV stars like nowadays, appear with their pets. I wonder what kind of pet Rod Serling had? Maybe something like Oscar?

[mopinko]

10. lol. should we start a pool?

which star has a pet mixed animal?

[blogslut]

5. Aww

Good on Betty

[leighbythesea2]

A Betty White marathon. Tomorrow I think. The trailer for it is great already. My mom watches it all the time, and that writing in so good.

22. Happy Birthday,Betty White!🎂🎉

[BigmanPigman]

25. Password game show

with host Allen Ludden. She was on that show a lot.

She runs a mile a day?!?!?

[malaise]

26. Unbelievable indeed

I stopped running and walk these days and I'm way younger.

Loved password.

[BigmanPigman]

31. I wonder how many people have Allen Ludden as their password for tech stuff?

It was the password when I got my first computer (I changed the spelling for seciity). It is the only password I have never forgotten.

What's up with game show hosts and helping animals? Bob Barker of The Price is Right is a big animal advocate and he is 97!

[TexasBushwhacker]

61. That's how they met

His bio said he had to propose more than twice.

[BigmanPigman]

62. It would've been cool for him to propose

on TV and with clues that eventually lead to a proposal.

[keithbvadu2]

Her enduring love for animals is my favorite thing about her - she's been active in animal charities throughout her life.

Pictured here with her St Bernard* 67yrs ago...


And with a sweet Golden in 2012...



Edited to correct dog breed. Thanks to Doreen! 🙏

My brother even owned a big sweet Great Dane, so dummy me *should* know the difference.

My apologies.

Betty White never said that and she wasn't happy when that hoax started circulating in 2011.
