Betty White shares her secret to a long life in new interview: ‘I try to avoid anything green’

On January 17th, Betty White will be celebrating her 100th birthday, and she is on the cover of People.

The actor reveals her secret to living a long, fulfilling life in the cover story.

She joked that she tries to avoid anything green. I guess it is working.

White doesn't like Hollywood's health food trends. The actress likes to eat hot dogs and drink with a splash of grapefruit.

She likes to eat a peanut butter, bologna and lettuce sandwich for lunch. White's mother used to make the snack for her when she was a child, according to her executive personal assistant.

Betty White is at the fuse's.

White gave some advice to live a joyful life, "Taste every moment."

She told People that she is lucky to be in such good health and feels good at this age.

White spends her time in Los Angeles completing crossword puzzles, playing card games and watching animal shows.

She takes time to remember her late husband.

Mikelas shared that she keeps a photo of him on her table and blows him a kiss every morning. She kisses him up in the sky at night when she opens the shutters. She is constantly thinking about him.

White and her third husband, Ludden, wed in 1963. The two were married until 1981 when Ludden died of cancer.

White has not appeared in a movie in a few years, but she still has a good sense of humor.

According to People, Mikelas spoke to White about possibly getting back together with an ex-boyfriend.

If he doesn't want to be exclusive,Betty said, screw him. She looked at me and said, "But don't screw him." That is Betty, sweet, naughty, and bubbly at the same time.

White's celebrity friends were interviewed by people in honor of her birthday.

White was praised by Ryan Reynolds for her timeless comedy skills. He said thatBetty pivots like he has never seen before. The rest of us are silent and praying we don't get cut out of the scene.

Reynolds said that White is a typical Capricorn because she spends her days sleeping and nights snacking on men.

White was praised for being a loving, decent, optimistic, inclusive, hilarious human being.

She said, "With humor, kindness and a vodka on ice, toasting to the fact that she's a badass who has left us all in the dust."

Carol Burnett and White worked together on the show.

Before she got on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Betty had a reputation of being cutesy-sweetsy, and then she went on Johnny Carson's show and slayed. She was very funny and bawdy. If there was a hint of risqué humor in one of our sketches, she would roll with it and make it even funnier and add a little wink to show that she was thinking of something sexy. She is not a stand-up. She is not a jokester. It is the way she can get a laugh.

White plans to celebrate her birthday with a small gathering and animals. She said she would surround herself with as many animals as possible.

Fans can attend a showing of the one-day-only theatrical event "Betty White: 100 Years Young" at a later date.

The film will be shown in 900 movie theaters on her birthday. A behind-the-scenes look at White's life and work will be provided in " 100 Years Young."

The film invites viewers to White's birthday party, along with guests like Robert Redford, Reynolds, and Lin Manuel-Miranda.
