Paxton
Betty Marion White (born January 17, 1922) is an American
actress comedian and former television host with a career
spanning over sixty-five years. Her television roles include
Sue Ann Nivens on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Rose Nylund
on The Golden Girls.
White has won six Emmy Awards[1] and received 18 Emmy nominations[1]
over the course of her career, and was the first woman to
ever receive an Emmy for game show hosting. She has also made
regular appearances on the game shows Password and Match Game
and played recurring roles on Mama's Family and Boston Legal.
She is also recognized for her affiliation with animal charities
such as "Actors and Others for Animals" and the
Morris Animal Foundation.
White was born in Oak Park, Illinois, daughter of Horace L.
White, a traveling salesman and electrical engineer, and his
wife Tess Cachikis.[2][3] She was raised in Los Angeles, California.
White attended Horace Mann Middle School in Beverly Hills,
California, and Beverly Hills High School, where she graduated
in 1939.
[edit] Career
Before embarking on her television career, White found work
modeling. She debuted on television in 1949, when she began
appearing with Al Jarvis on his daily, live television variety
show, Hollywood on Television on KLAC-TV in Los Angeles.[1]
White began hosting the show in 1952 after Jarvis' departure.[1]
In 1952, the same year she began hosting Hollywood on Television,
White co-founded Bandy Productions with writer George Tibbles
and Don Fedderson, a producer.[1] The trio worked to create
new shows using existing characters from sketches Hollywood
on Television. White, Fedderson and Tibbles created the television
comedy Life With Elizabeth, based on a Hollywood on Television
sketch.[1] White portrayed the title character on the sitcom
from 1952 to 1955, which effectively boosted her career.[1]
The show, which she also co-produced, garnered White her first
Emmy Award.[1][3][4] Life With Elizabeth was nationally syndicated
by the mid-1950s, allowing White to become one of the only
women in television with full creative control in front of
and behind the camera at the time.[1]
In 1954, she briefly hosted and produced her own daily talk
show entitled The Betty White Show on NBC[1] (not to be confused
with her 1970s sitcom of the same name). Following Life with
Elizabeth, she appeared as Vicki Angel on the sitcom Date
with the Angels from 1957 to 1958. The show later became another
variety series before going off the air.[1] White also performed
in commercials seen on live television in Los Angeles, including
a spirited rendition of the "Dr. Ross Dog Food"
advertisement at KTLA during the 1950s.
She made her film debut as Kansas Senator Elizabeth Ames Adams
in the 1962 drama, Advise and Consent.
Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, White appeared on a number
of late night talkshows and daytime game shows, including
Password.[1] White made many appearances on the hit game show
Password as a guest celebrity from 1961 through 1975. She
married the show's host, Allen Ludden in 1963.[1] She subsequently
appeared on the show's three updated versions Password Plus
, Super Password, and Million Dollar Password, having been
on versions of the game with five different hosts (Ludden,
Cullen, Kennedy, Convy, and Philbin). White made frequent
game show appearances on What's My Line? (starting in 1955),
To Tell the Truth (in 1961 and in 1990), I've Got a Secret
(in 1972-73), Match Game (1973-1982) and Pyramid (starting
in 1982). Both Password and Pyramid were created by White's
friend, Bob Stewart. In 1983, she became the first woman to
win a Daytime Emmy Award in the category of Outstanding Game
Show Host, for the NBC entry Just Men!. Due to the amount
of work she has done on them, she has been deemed the "First
Lady of Game Shows".
In 1973, White appeared in a guest spot on The Mary Tyler
Moore Show as The Happy Homemaker.[1] As a result of her guest
appearance, White landed her signature role as the sardonic,
man-hungry Sue Ann Nivens, The Happy Homemaker, on The Mary
Tyler Moore Show as a full time cast member.[1] The running
gag was that Sue Ann's hard-edged private personality was
the complete opposite of how she presented herself on her
show. "We need somebody sickeningly sweet, like Betty
White," Moore herself suggested at a production meeting,
with the result of casting White. White won two back-to-back
Emmy Awards for her role in the hugely popular series.[1]
Following that show's end in 1977, she was given her own sitcom
on CBS, The Betty White Show,[1] during the 1977-78 season,
in which she co-starred with John Hillerman and (former Mary
Tyler Moore co-star) Georgia Engel. It was canceled after
one season. White began guest starring in a number of television
movies and television miniseries, including With This Ring,
The Place to Be, Before and After and The Gossip Columnist.[1]
[edit] 1980s – 2000s
White at the 1988 Emmy Awards
From 1983 through 1985, she had a recurring role playing Ellen
Harper Jackson on the series Mama's Family for three years,[1]
along with future Golden Girls co-star Rue McClanahan. When
Mama's Family was picked up in syndication after being canceled
by NBC in 1985, White left the show (with the exception of
one final appearance in the show's syndicated version in 1986).
In 1985, she scored a memorable role as the naive St. Olaf,
Minnesota-native Rose Nylund on The Golden Girls.[1] The series
chronicled the lives of four widowed or divorced women in
their "golden years" who shared a home in Miami.
The Golden Girls, which also starred Beatrice Arthur, Estelle
Getty, and Rue McClanahan, was immensely successful and ran
from 1985 through 1992. White won one Emmy Award, for Outstanding
Actress in a Comedy Series, for the first season of The Golden
Girls[1] and was nominated every year of the show's run. When
Beatrice Arthur left in 1992, White, McClanahan, and Getty
reprised their roles Rose, Blanche, and Sophia in the spin-off
The Golden Palace.[1] The series was short-lived, lasting
only one season. In addition, White reprised her Rose Nylund
character in guest appearances on the NBC shows Empty Nest
and Nurses, both of which were set in Miami.[1]
White at the 1989 Emmy Awards
White was originally offered the role of Blanche in The Golden
Girls, and Rue McClanahan was offered the role of Rose (the
two characters being similar to roles they had played in Mary
Tyler Moore and Maude respectively). Jay Sandrich, who was
director of the pilot, suggested since they had played similar
roles in the past, they should switch roles, Rue McClanahan
later said in a documentary on the series. White was originally
scared to play the role of Rose, feeling that she would not
be able to play the role until the show's creator took her
aside and told her not to play Rose as stupid but to play
her as someone "terminally naive, a person who always
believed the first explanation of something." As of December
2009, White is, alongside McClanahan, one of the two surviving
cast members following the deaths of Estelle Getty in July
2008 and Bea Arthur in April 2009.
After The Golden Palace was canceled, White guest-starred
on a number of television programs including Ally McBeal,
The Ellen Show, My Wife and Kids, That 70s Show, Everwood,
Joey, and Malcolm in the Middle. She received Emmy Award nominations
for her appearances on Suddenly Susan, Yes, Dear and The Practice.
She won an Emmy in 1996 for Outstanding Guest Actress in a
Comedy Series, appearing as herself on a memorable episode
of The John Larroquette Show. In that episode, titled "Here
We Go Again", a spoof on Sunset Boulevard, a diva-like
White convinces Larroquette to help write her memoirs. In
one bit, Golden Girls co-stars McClanahan and Getty appear
as themselves. Larroquette is forced to dress in drag as Beatrice
Arthur, when all four appear in public as the "original"
cast members. White comically envisions her Rose as the central
character with the other cast members as mere supporting players.
The actress has lent her voice to several animated shows including
The Simpsons, King of the Hill, The Wild Thornberrys, Family
Guy and Father of the Pride.[1] In 1999, she had a supporting
role in the comedic horror film Lake Placid, as a seemingly
sweet widow with a shockingly foul mouth later revealed to
have raised the giant crocodile (which accidentally ate her
husband).
In December 2006, White joined the soap opera The Bold and
the Beautiful in the role of Ann Douglas, the long-lost mother
of the show's matriarch Stephanie Forrester, who is played
by Susan Flannery. In February 2007, White returned as Ann,
who had an intent to move to Los Angeles to be near her daughters.[5]
The characters of Ann and Pamela Douglas (Alley Mills) disappeared
after their March 27, 2007, appearance and were not mentioned
again until October 19, 2007, when Ann appeared briefly. White
would go on to appear in three more episodes following that,
one on December 10, 2007; August 28, 2008; and October 28,
2008. She returned to the show on November 18, 2009 and in
the November 19, 2009 episode her character revealed that
she was dying of advanced pancreatic cancer. To date she has
made 22 appearances as Ann Douglas. In the November 23, 2009
episode Ann passes away due to complications from her illness
with both of her daughters next to her on the beach at Paradise
Cove.
In the broadcast of the 2007 TV Land Awards, White starred
in a parody of Ugly Betty, aptly titled Ugly Betty White,
in which she played America Ferrera's title character, with
Charo playing Betty's sister Hilda and Erik Estrada playing
her father Ignacio.[6] Because of her performance as Ugly
Betty White, the producers of Ugly Betty signed White to play
herself as the victim of Wilhelmina Slater's temper as they
both vie for a cab in the episode "Bananas for Betty",
which aired December 6, 2007.
White had a recurring role in ABC's Boston Legal from 2005
to 2008 as the calculating, blackmailing gossip-monger Catherine
Piper, a role she originally portrayed as a guest star on
The Practice in 2004.[1]
White appeared as a roaster on the Comedy Central Roast of
William Shatner in 2006. On May 19, 2008, White appeared on
The Oprah Winfrey Show, taking part in the host's Mary Tyler
Moore Show reunion special alongside every single surviving
cast member of the series.
She was honored at the Sixth Annual TV Land Awards with the
Pop Culture Award on June 8, 2008. She accepted it along with
co-stars Bea Arthur and Rue McClanahan.
White returned to Password in its latest incarnation, Million
Dollar Password with host Regis Philbin, on June 12, 2008
(episode #3), participating in the Million Dollar challenge
at the end of the show. Her quick correct responses helped
the contestant win $100,000. Betty returned to the show again
on December 28, 2008 (episode #9), helping the contestants
win $25,000 each. White has made a number of appearances in
skits on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, playing the
part of an Exxon representative, a girl scout, an accountant
with a briefcase full of cocaine, a nurse who just got her
medical license from El Salvador, a newspaper delivery girl,
and a prison guard. She also appeared as herself with a shoe
box full of receipts, explaining that she was doing her taxes.
She also appeared as herself to promote Together: A Story
of Shared Vision by her and Tom Sullivan. On July 18, 2008,
she also appeared on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno in a skit
entitled "Can You Make Betty White Flinch".
White recently guest starred as the "Witch lady"
on an episode of My Name is Earl, and starred on Chelsea Handler's
late night show Chelsea Lately. Some of her other most recent
television credits in the 2000s include Stealing Christmas,
Annie's Point and The Retrievers.[1] Her film credits in the
late 1990s and early 2000s included Hard Rain, Dennis the
Menace Strikes Again and Bringing Down the House, in which
she co-starred with Steve Martin and Queen Latifah.[1]
White appeared in the 2009 motion picture, The Proposal with
Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds.[1] White provided the English-language
voice of Yoshie in the anime film Ponyo,[1] which was released
in Japan in 2008 and in the United States and Canada on August
14, 2009. She has signed on to co-star with Kirsten Bell in
the upcoming film, You Again.[1]
[edit] Charity
White is a pet enthusiast and animal health advocate who works
with a number of animal organizations, including the Los Angeles
Zoo Commission, the Morris Animal Foundation, and Actors &
Others for Animals. Her interest in animal rights and welfare
began in the early 1970s, while she was both producing and
hosting the syndicated series, The Pet Set, which spotlighted
celebrities and their pets.[1]
As of 2009, White is the president emeritus of the Morris
Animal Foundation, where she has served as a trustee of the
organization since 1971.[1] She has been a member of the board
of directors of the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association since
1974.[1] Additionally, White also served the zoo association
as a Zoo Commissioner for eight years.[1]
According to the Los Angeles Zoo & Botanical Garden's
"ZooScape" Member Newsletter, Betty White hosted
"History on Film" from 2000-2002. White donated
nearly $100,000 to the Zoo in the month of April 2008 alone.
[edit] Personal life
In 1945, White married Dick Barker, an U.S. Air Force pilot.
The marriage was short lived. In 1947, she married Lane Allen,
a Hollywood agent. This marriage also ended in divorce two
years later.
On June 14, 1963, White married television host and personality
Allen Ludden, whom she had met on Password.[1] He proposed
to White at least twice before she accepted. The couple appeared
together in an episode of The Odd Couple featuring Felix's
and Oscar's appearance on Password. Ludden also appeared as
a guest panelist on Match Game, with White sitting in the
audience (she was prompted to rip apart one of Ludden's wrong
answers on camera during an episode of Match Game '74); the
two appeared together on the panel in 1975.
Already diagnosed with stomach cancer in early 1980, Ludden
suffered a debilitating stroke by the fall of that year[contradiction],
which forced him to retire. Ludden's cancer eventually returned
and he died on June 9, 1981, in Los Angeles. They had no children
together. White has not remarried since Ludden's death.
[edit] Awards, honors and nominations
White has won six Emmy Awards, three American Comedy Awards
(including a Lifetime Achievement Award in 1990), and two
Viewers For Quality Television Awards. She was inducted into
the Television Hall of Fame in 1995 and has a star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6747 Hollywood Boulevard alongside
the star of late husband Allen Ludden.
White was the recipient of the Pacific Pioneers in Broadcasting
Golden Ike Award and the Genii Award from the American Women
in Radio and Television in 1976.[1] The American Comedy Awards
awarded her the award for Funniest Female in 1987 as well
as the Lifetime Achievement Award in 1990.[1] She was formally
inducted into the Television Academy's Hall of Fame in 1995.
In 2009, White received the Career Achievement Award from
the Television Critics Association.[1]

plaque near the Gorilla Exhibit at the Los Angeles Zoo.[1]
The City of Los Angeles named her "Ambassador to the
Animals" at the dedication ceremony.[1]
In September 2009, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) announced
plans to honor White with the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement
Award at the 16th Screen Actors Guild Awards on January 23,
