Betty White, The Hollywood Legend Has Passed Away

Betty White the TV Legend passes away at age 99.

TMZ reported earlier today via law enforcement sources that Betty White the TV Legend has passed away at age 99. Jeff Witjas White’s agent and close friend told People “Even though Betty was about to be 100, I thought she would live forever. 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.” It has believed that she died of natural causes. Betty White was set to turn 100 on January 17th and had a big celebration planned.

She was best known for her roles on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Hot In Cleveland, and The Golden Girls. With over 119 acting credits and multiple shows over the past 8 decades, she has cemented herself in Hollywood and Pop-culture history.
