She was Sue Ann Nivens on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Rose Nylund on The Golden Girls. Delores Bickerman in Lake Placid. Those are just three of her memorable roles, but she was a television presence for decades, often as a quick-witted and welcome guest on game and talk shows. With a love for her work and a passion for animal causes, she took on a regular role in a sitcom at the age of 88, and continued performing and entertaining well into her 90s. On this episode, we're talking about Betty White and her journey to Hot in Cleveland, and her last major role as sassy caretaker Elka Ostrovsky. We're joined by filmmaker and friend-of-Betty Dan White, who has plenty to share about the Betty he knew.
