Betty White Tribute

Magazine

Most of us have never known a world without Betty White. She got her start on television when TV itself was just beginning on the West Coast. America’s affection for the star only grew deeper with each passing decade. Some fell for her happy nymphomaniac Sue Ann Nivens on The Mary Tyler Moore Show in the 1970s. A decade later, others cheered for her single (and ready to mingle) Rose Nylund on The Golden Girls. And an entirely new generation of fans embraced her as everyone’s honorary great grandmother—a person to protect, respect and turn to for comfort when times were tough. In this special edition, we remember the pioneer, animal lover, and friend who brought joy to so many people for almost 100 years.
