She was so close to getting to 100. The last Golden Girl is now gone. Last person left from the Mary Tyler Moore show as well. Which is even sadder considering the final four cast members all died this year. Cloris, Gavin, Ed and now Betty.

I usually have a New Years Day movie marathon, I was gonna start it early today instead because of the PPV tomorrow, but ended up not for various reasons So now I've decided I'll marathon Betty movies instead.

I had recently been watching episodes of the original What’s My Line? as well and thinking she was one of the few left that showed up on that show too. What’s my line is a great show. Yes all the cast of it(Arlene francis, Dorothy Kilgallen, bennet Cerf, and John daly)are dead but Carol Burnett is still alive and well and she appeared on it at least twice but maybe more. Betty white was definitely a panellist and I think she was a mystery guest at least once with her husband. what’s my line was my first covid lockdown wormhole. But anyway RIP Betty white you absolute legend. There are plenty of people from What’s My Line? still alive if you count the mystery guests. I was more referring to the host/regular panelists.

Well you mentioned that Betty white appeared on the show and weren’t specific which is why I replied as I did. I know the host and regular panellists are dead(i named them) with Arlene Francis living the longest. anyway this isn’t a what’s my line thread it’s a Betty white appreciation thread.

No I wasn’t specific, but I think i was being obvious enough in what I was talking about that I didn’t have to go into specifics. Also, there were a lot more panelists then ones you mentioned. Some that are still alive. Don’t get snooty and act like you’re talking the high road here.

It's like how 2020 cleared out the Concentration and Password hosts. Someone will lecture me about there's no such thing as curses, but it is eerie.

Okay....me going through my phases led me to write this on a game show page ....
Hey all, I gotta vent if you'll indulge me for the moment.
Also don't worry I will have LOTS to say that's calm and respectful eventually. I will have a tribute befitting of Herself. The following may not be so much. But...it's the stages of grief.
So for now bear with me. I am feeling all of them right now (you know, sadness, anger, etc. etc. Maybe eventually I'll reach acceptance) As it was I have been having existential conflicts too and Betty's passing does not help. The things going on in the world now, that keep going and going and going and seems will NEVER end. I joke/seriously comment that there is no 2021, just 2020.2. And I defy anyone to prove me wrong. That Americans can't get along, and only know how to destroy property and people both mentally and physically is another thing. Which is why I refuse to take political sides. I saw how ugly both sides are. I do think about quitting for good because of all this. With that, and with Betty's passing, it makes me doubt my own belief system....what Being would let so much bad stuff happen? And why would He not let her have her 100th birthday? Why is she no longer here when there's so many scumbags around?
And I am not partying and probably won't watch any NYE shows. It seems disrespectful to do it and I don't feel like it. I did take down the banner I made. It just seems weird to keep it up for now. Maybe I'll bring it back for her now 100th (heavenly) birthday.
Forgive me if this is so heavy, but like I said, I'm gonna go through a lot of emotions.

I'm still crying, even though it would happen inevitably, I'm heartbroken. You were honestly the first person I thought of when the news broke due to how big of a Golden Girls fan you are. Can't even imagine how this must feel. It's still my favorite show!!

RIP Betty
In my head canon, her baby crocodiles are now grown up and still living in that lake near her house.

I wasn’t acting snooty and taking any high road whatsoever actually but thanks for implying something I never did. I simply replied to your post initially.

Sorry everyone for being so tempermental yesterday. I think you understand though. Stages of grief, like I said. Maybe one day I'll reach acceptance.
Anyway, here is how I will remember Betty.

F***. Just f***. Before I went to my cabin for New Year’s Eve I was watching Match Game and Betty White did a fake out strip tease on the show. Binged Golden Girls a month or two back, she was a national treasure. F***. RIP
