[Coolwhhip]

Just days ago she had an interview in People about her good health. Sad.. https://people.com/tv/betty-white-reveals-her-secrets-to-long-happy-life-at-100-exclusive/

What a way to close out a bad year for society.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Jesus, the hype for her 100 birthday was huge.
This was really sudden...

2021.

[Nobody_Important]

What a fucking shit note to end the year on.


It makes me smile though to know that literally millions of toasts will be made in her name tonight.

 

[MaestroMike]

RIP.

I thought it was Bubba Ho-Tep

 

[DragoonKain]

There's no shame in hitting level 99. She lived a very long and successful life.

Candles being lit in St. Olaf tonight.

 

[lem0n]

God damn it. Way to close the year out with an explosive wet fart.

Rest in peace you angel <3

 

[FunkMiller]

Dying unexpectedly right before hitting a major milestone, after a huge effort to get there.

Truly a Dark Souls death if ever there was one.

RIP.

 

[WoodyStare]

A legend. She will be missed dearly. RIP

awww thats so sad. i was just thinking about her the other day.

just gonna say this here: i dont care if your a man, woman, black, white, purple, chinese, african, gay, trans, etc., if you dont like the golden girls then you must be a fucking terrorist.

[DeepEnigma]

Rest in Power to one of the most amazing and witty people in our lifetimes.

[Max_Po]

really sad news. I read a few days ago how she was preparing to celebrate her 100th Birthday.


Rest in Peace

 

[Nobody_Important]

To be fair knowing her she would have found this hilarious.

 

[DragoonKain]

This thread is a bummer

 

[wondermega]

Clicked over to Gaf OT to see if there was actually a Betty White thread this quickly - am surprised!

 

[MastAndo]

A bummer she didn't hit the century mark, but she lived a long, successful life and was universally loved. That's all anyone could ever ask for. RIP Ms. White.

 

[carlosrox]

Well she was like 2 weeks shy of 100, I'd say she made it.

She seemed cool, RIP.

 

[Rival]

RIP. An absolute legend. So funny.

 

[Javthusiast]

RIP to a legend. Bummer she didn't made it to 100, but she was close so it counts. Many of us probably can only dream of making it close to 100 and still be as energetic as she was and even remotely as funny.

 

[Mossybrew]

Well that sucks. What a legend!

 

[Slayer-33]

Damn, just heard via YouTube, sad sad..

 

[Vangu Vegro]

There's always one last kick in the nuts a year gives you right before the finish line, isn't there?

RIP and respect.

 

[Nobody_Important]

Legend.

 

[Liljagare]

RIP to a legend..

lol, people have been toasting her around my bar since the news dropped. Dude even bought a $100 round for everybody in her name.

 

[RoboFu]

I'm envious honestly. She was active and still had a sharp mind at 90+ . I can barely move and definitely slower minded at age 45 lol

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Damn that absolutely sucks

What a legend

 

[Agent_Nobody]

And just to put it into perspective how long she worked in the industry these 99 years; the following are from when she was just 8 years old:








She was the pretty much the professional amongst professionals all the way to the end.

 

[Ikutachi]

If leap years weren't a thing she did live to 100.

 

[synchronicity]

Never make assumptions. Live in the moment. It's all there is.

RIP. Fare thee well on thy journey.

She's looked like a corpse for the past 20 years, it's not really sudden

 

[StreetsofBeige]

She's got to be the most likeable celeb ever. You never hear a bad thing about her, said from her, and she's always cheery.

Funny thing is I never followed her career (most of her stuff was long time ago) and never watched Golden Girls, yet it feels bad she's gone. I admit, anytime I'd see a random link about Betty White news, I click it. A very likeable celeb.

 

[adamsapple]

RIP, a true legend.

all 90s kids with nothing else to watch but golden girls pour one out ...

 

[GulfCoastZilla]

I was at my cousins wedding last night and saw a notification about "Betty White shared her secrets to staying young leading up to her 100th birthday" or something like that come up on my phone. Gave a smile and kept it moving.

This morning I'm editing photos that I took and saw that pop up and was blown away. Very sad. Rest In Peace and thank you for being a friend in the 80's while watching golden girls at my grandmas.
