The Golden Girls were popular.
The Golden Girls was a great sitcom from 1985 to 1992. The series followed four elderly single women as they lived, loved, laughed, and lusted in sunny Miami. Their stories of friendship were unforgettable, their banter was electric, and their charisma was amazing. The Golden Girls gave White a lot of highlights over the course of 7 seasons. One perfect moment has been making the rounds online.

In the first episode of the third season, Rose lost her teddy bear to a plucky cadet. Fans have been cracking up since the 1987 debut of the film, because Rose was not the best crayon in the box. Lewis shared a life lesson that the legendary leading lady delivered with flare in honor of White.
The Golden Girls is available on the streaming service.
It's hot in Cleveland.
The magic of The Golden Girls can't be recreated. White made a new trio of friends on this sitcom, which ran from 2010 to 2015. Three 40-something women move from Los Angeles to Cleveland, where they find hilarious hijinks and colorful characters. Among them is local Elka Ostrovsky, who has no patience for bullshit and has killer comedy timing.
If you're new to Hot in Cleveland, fans are suggesting "Free Elka" as a great place to watch the second episode. There's a lot of fun in the show's bloopers reel.

Saturday Night Live airs on NBC.
Betty White hosting SNL was the best thing the internet has ever done. The comedienne gave a shout out to the Facebook campaign that brought her to New York. She said she didn't know what Facebook was when she heard about the campaign to get her to host SNL. I have to say that it looks like a waste of time now that I know what it is.
She slayed in sketches after crushing the monologue, many of which are finding new life on social media apps. In honor of White, Michaels reran her episode. Don't worry. White won the 2010 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series.

The proposal was made.
Ryan Reynolds had a fun connection with White. The two had a fake feud that began in the promotion of The Proposal, where she played his eccentric grandmother.

The film is directed by Anne Fletcher and features a winsome romance between a high-powered and hard-headed businesswoman and a handsome man. She asked her assistant to marry her. They struck a shaky arrangement, which included her visiting her soon-to-be in-laws in Alaska for her grandmother's 90th birthday. White shone in a supporting role, but he was equally good in the movie. So, treat yourself to this romp.
Prime Video has The Proposal.
Lake Placid.
If you want your White to have a bit more of an edge, then visit Lake Placid. Betty White plays an old woman who lives alone in the wilderness. There's a huge crocodile in it. She thinks it's a good pet. She'll curse you out with a blue-streak so bold that it would make a sailor blush.

Lake Placid is a comedy, action, and scares movie that's wild fun. A group of people are assembled to tame the massive croc, including a sheriff, a Fish and Game officer, a paleontologist, and an arrogant mythology professor. There will be blood in the water and laughs on land thanks to their best efforts.
