Betty White's start in Hollywood began with the 1945 short film Time to Kill and the TV series Hollywood on Television in 1949.

She would later get her major act in the series Life With Elizabeth, appearing in more than 40 episodes and starring in the titular role for their years.

Betty continued to delight her viewers in the series The Mary Tyler Moore Show and later, in the Betty White Show.

The series Hot in Cleveland put her back on TV in the following year and after her death on December 31st, 2021, her co-star, Valerie Bertinelli, took to Twitter to honor her friend, 

 "Rest in peace, sweet Betty," she wrote. "My God, how bright heaven must be right now."

The death was confirmed by her agent, Jeff Witjas who told BBC News he thought Betty White would live forever even though she was about to be 100.

 "I will miss her terribly and so will the animal world that she loved so much. I don't think Betty ever feared passing because she always wanted to be with her most beloved husband Allen Ludden. She believed she would be with him again." He added.
