https://www.wbal.com/article/547990/2/reports-betty-white-dies-at-the-age-of-99 Betty White, whose television career spanned more than 80 years, has died, TMZ and People reported. She was 99 years old. Born Jan. 17, 1922, in Oak Park, Illinois, White is considered to be a trailblazer of television. Her career was longer than any other female entertainer, having worked in the industry since 1939. White is famously known for her iconic sitcom roles. She played the sweet, but salacious, Sue Ann Nivens on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show." White probably is best known for her role of the sweet and naive Rose Nylund on 1980s hit "The Golden Girls." She was a staple of many popular TV game shows of the 1960s, leading to the title of "First Lady of Game Shows." White earned eight Emmy Awards, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, three American Comedy Awards and one Grammy Award. She was the first woman to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host for "Just Men!" in 1983. Off-screen, White was known for her love of animals, working with several organizations whose work focused on animal rights and welfare. White said her secret to a long life was: "Don’t look ahead and … try not to look back."

Sad she died but She lived a long life and died of natural causes. How many of us will be able to say the same thing? RIP

She was in great health. Like, better than Madden, who was said to be healthy also. This just blows on so many levels. I won’t make 99 though…so she did really well. And she did exactly what she wanted when she wanted to.

And she did exactly what she wanted when she wanted to. There were many interviews and stories about her in the past few days with I’m sure many more coming ahead of her 100th birthday in 2 weeks. People Magazine has her on the cover this week. Eerily similar to Madden in how much talk there was about them right before they died. White said she was in great health and was joking that the key to a long life is avoiding vegetables in the interview I read just yesterday. But if you gotta die it’s great that she died suddenly near 100 with no decline in health or mental capacity at all.

I think it's more simply because of the fact that she was a staunch supporter of LGBTQ rights so they claimed her as one of their own. And in this world if you aren't against things like gay marriage then you must be gay.

" She supported gay rights because her stepdaughter is a lesbian. She also supported animal rights, but that doesn't mean she wanted to bang Mr. Ed. here's a link to an article that mentions her stepdaughter https://www.nationalenquirer.com/celebrity/betty-white-pride-lesbians/
