Can you believe Betty White is 99? The nonagenarian comedian was born on January 22, 1922 and has been cracking us up for more than 80 years. She’s starred on various television shows including her beloved role as dimwitted Rose on the Golden Girls and a long stint on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. She was also the first woman to produce a sitcom, Life with Elizabeth.
Even though she might need a fire extinguisher when she lights the candles on her birthday cake, we think it’s high time to celebrate this firecracker, with some of our favorite Betty White quotes.
Update: Betty White has passed, on December 31, 2021 at the age of 99.
12 Betty White Quotes to Live Your Life By

4. “Does desire melt away with age? I’m waiting for that day to come.”

6. “I have no regrets at all. None. I consider myself to be the luckiest old broad on two feet.”
