In an email to the Associated Press, she shared, “Since I am turning 99, I can stay up as late as I want without asking permission!” For her special meal, she opted for a classic hot dog accompanied by French fries, lovingly delivered by her longtime friend and agent, Jack Thompson. He also surprises her with roses each year—a fitting tribute to the queen she is.
Betty’s day will also include feeding the local ducks that frequent her home in the Los Angeles area. Honestly, what could be more perfect for a quarantine birthday than sharing a meal with a friend and some feathered companions? Betty has always been a passionate advocate for animals, serving on the board of the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association for nearly four decades. Next month, she’ll be releasing a DVD and digital version of Betty White’s Pet Set, a beloved series from the 1970s where she visited friends and their pets.
With a career spanning from 1949’s Hollywood on Television to a voice role in Forky Asks a Question on Disney Plus in 2019, Betty is a national icon. Shows like The Golden Girls and The Mary Tyler Moore Show have solidified her status.
If you’re wondering how to honor Betty White today, you might consider this prayer candle. We should all be wishing for her continued presence in our lives, and there’s an Etsy shop that sells candles that burn as long as she has. Last year, actor Luke Harrison posted a sweet video on social media where he and his co-star, Sarah Collins, sang “Happy Birthday” to Betty. Here’s hoping they’ll do it again this year!
Betty’s incredible work and comedic genius have earned her five Emmy Awards, including one in 2010 for guest hosting Saturday Night Live. Reflecting on aging, she once said, “You may not be as fast on your feet, and the image in your mirror may be a little disappointing, but if you are still functioning and not in pain, gratitude should be the name of the game.” We are all so grateful for 99 wonderful years with her.
