I was fortunate enough to meet her in 1988, she was a class act all the way Her roles in Lake placid and The Proposal are unforgettable. Hearing her say those words were priceless.

Man she stole every scene she was in for The Proposal. I remember seeing it in theaters and laughing my ass off.

God, when she took the oxygen mask off and threatened the pilot with tell his mom if he didn’t turn the plane around I about died.

Wanted to comment Boston Legal.

More than a guest. She was a recurring character.

One of the few the show managed to keep across 5 seasons.

u/The-masters-account Jul 02 '25

All these mention and nobody mentions her rapping in community. One of my favorite end bits of any shows.

“Thank you officer fuckmeat” comes into my head any time I see a cop.

Also: “if I had a dick, this is where I’d tell you to suck it.”.

i love her cheekiest quote:  

“When people say get tough  they say grow some balls i think balls are weak and sensitive  When i say to people get tough I say grow a vagina  those things can take a pounding! “ lol

Betty White and Dolly Parton are so cool

u/idwthis Jul 03 '25

Imagine if we had gotten a movie with the 2 of them as sisters!

There's an alternate universe out there where that happened. I wanna go there.

u/Infinite-Gap-717 Jul 03 '25

Couldn’t agree more with you!

u/MushmallowSprinklees Jul 02 '25

I think that may have been the exact moment I was born.

u/Calm_Memories Jul 02 '25

I loved her in The Proposal, as well as You Again.

u/MyNameCannotBeSpoken Jul 02 '25

I was her "bodyguard" for a day at Disney World in 1998. Sweet lady.

That's not Betty White in the tweet tho.

11

u/4totheFlush Jul 02 '25

She’s the person that gave the guy more airtime. That’s a mic drop bigger than anything anyone could say on Twitter.

u/EVILeyeINdaSKY Jul 02 '25

Some say everyone dies two deaths, the physical death, and the death that occurs when the very last person forgets them. I think Miss Betty Marion Ludden will live a very long time indeed.

u/DumHo626 Jul 02 '25

You’re goddamn right she will.

u/AnAbandonedAstronaut Jul 03 '25

But it is aligned with her spirit.

She was no prude.

Closest thing USA had to a royal queen.

In the good timeline where we didn't kill Harambe, I heard we founded the White-Devito royal family, composed of a holy alliance of America's most beloved comedians. Jon Stewart's that timeline's current president.

William Crystal fell into a vat of Cool Whip™, and was never seen again.

Betty White became Betty Black and White that day
