Betty White, Beloved Actress and Super Bowl Pitchwoman, Dead at 99

Betty White, a beloved actress whose career spanned nine decades, died on Friday. She was 99 years old, just weeks away from turning 100 on Jan. 17.

“Even though Betty was about to be 100, I thought she would live forever,” agent Jeff Witjas told People in a statement. “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.”

White was a beloved figure from 1930 right through the end of her life.
