White as Rose on The Golden Girls.
Betty White (born January 17, 1922) is a notable American television actress with a career spanning over 50 years. White's early television roles included her portrayal of Elizabeth on Life With Elizabeth in 1953 and as Vicki Angel on Date With the Angels in 1957 and 1958. She also had her own show briefly in 1954 with the original Betty White Show.
White is perhaps better known for her appearances on the hit gameshow Password, in which she was a regular as a panelist from 1961 through 1975; it was through her early appearances on Password that she met the show's host, Allen Ludden, whom she married in 1963 and remained with until his death in 1981. White also made frequent game show appearances on What's My Line? (starting in 1955), To Tell the Truth (starting in 1961) and Match Game (1973-1982).
In her later career, White played Sue Ann Nivens on The Mary Tyler Moore Show from 1973 to 1977. From 1983 through 1986, she played Ellen Jackson on the moderate hit show Mama's Family along with future Golden Girls co-star Rue McClanahan. When NBC canceled Mama's Family in 1985, White would soon leave the show and score perhaps her most memorable role as the ditzy Rose Nylund on The Golden Girls, a show about the lives of four widowed senior citizens in Miami. The Golden Girls was immensely successful and ran from 1985 through 1992.
Overall, White has won five 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 alongside the star of her late husband Allen Ludden. White is well known as a pet enthusiast and animal-rights activist.
