People magazine just had her on the cover with a big caption "Betty White Turns 100!"
I was really mad when I saw it a few days ago. I felt like it was tempting fate.
There are so many highlights, but I've always loved "A New Sue Ann" where Betty's Happy Homemaker character is threatened "All About Eve" style by a young assistant played by Linda Kelsey.
funny coincidence. WLNY is running an Odd Couple marathon, and I'm watching the episode with Betty White and Allen Ludden as they play Password.

Well, damn it. That’s crazy. Unlike most people on this board, I didn’t grow up with him as we never got the show that made him famous, but I really enjoyed his more irreverent work afterward. 65 is way too young for anyone.

In the shadow of Bob's previous hit series, "Newhart" had been pretty uneven through most of its first two seasons. At the end of the second season, they brought in Scolari to play Michael, the yuppie producer of a local Vermont show hosted by Newhart's character, Dick, and love interest to the spoiled housekeeper at the inn owned by Dick and his wife.
The series took off with this scene where Dick, expecting to hold a serious interview with the president of the University of Vermont gets blind-sided by Michael, who has subbed in a guest he feels will be a little more crowd-pleasing
Excellent.
Loved Louie. A funny, sad man. His role as Zach Galifianakis' mother in the show Baskets was by far the best reason to watch that show. He did a great show at SOPAC a few years back too.
A monk with global influence and an ally of Martin Luther King, he championed what he called “engaged Buddhism,” applying its principles in pressing for peace.

I think Mel Allen was the best. Balantine Ale and Muriel cigars.
Sister Janet, who sang The Lord’s Prayer/Our Father in 1974 (earned a gold record in the US!), died yesterday:

Oh. I thought you were talking about Raoul, but he's been dead for awhile.
I’m really sad. Glenn Wheatley, bass guitar with Master’s Apprentices and so much more to the music industry, has died of covid complications. Only 74years.

Well, it finally happened. Betty White passed away today, just a few weeks shy of turning 100.
