Betty White brought a smile to generations of Americans. She was a cultural icon who will be sorely missed, the president said as news of White's death broke.
The Golden Girls, The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Hot In Cleveland were some of the shows that White starred in. A documentary about Betty White: A Celebration, which was released in theaters on January 17, was one of several tributes planned for her 100th birthday. On Friday, White's team posted a video on White's social media accounts featuring the actress, who was filmed on December 20.

A total of $12.7 million was raised for charities by using the hashtag on their platforms. The Los Angeles Zoo Association, which White was a patron of, said they raised over $70,000 after the celebration.
