To help us celebrate Betty White's 100th birthday, and honor her. I thought it could be fun to chat and talk about our favorite Betty White roles.
So decided to do a poll. Happy voting.
NOTE: I can't make polls in other fandoms board. So posted it here, where you can.

Oh man she had so many roles, and this is isn't including all the one-offs, voice work and films.
Only picking the stuff I've actually seen her in. Most of her stuff from the 50s and 60s, was before my time. But I have seen the Mary Tyler Moore Show in reruns, growing up as my parents loved it.
I've picked my seven:
1. 1985–92 The Golden Girls (as Rose Nylund)
2. 2010–15 Hot in Cleveland (as Elka Ostrovsky)
3. 1973–77 The Mary Tyler Moore Show (as Sue Ann Nivens)
4. 2012–17 Betty White's Off Their Rockers (Host)
5. 2002–03 That '70s Show (as Bea Sigurdson , Recurring role)
6. 2005–08 Boston Legal (as Catherine Piper, Recurring role)
7. 1980 The Love Boat (as Betsy Boucher, recurring role)

Not sure when exactly she was on, but my favorite Betty White appearance was when she was on "Password" with her husband, Allen Ludden, as host. She was always the celebrity that everyone wanted as their partner because she was so darn good at it!
HAPPY CENTURY-BIRTHDAY-IN-HEAVEN-WITH-ALLEN, BETTY!

In about 45-ish minutes, I'm about to watch The Proposal with some friends, and it has Betty White, in it. So, it's going to feel rather different, watching it, since she's passed. RIP Betty White <3

Betty White reminded me so much of my late Gran that I was extremely close to. I absolutely bawled my head off when she passed. Somehow she was someone who always seemed like she would live forever. The Proposal was a great movie with her.

The Proposal was a great movie with her. It was a huge shock she passed, just a few weeks shy of turning 100. If Betty White and the Queen can't live forever then there's no hope for the rest of us. I really liked her in The Proposal. |

I really liked her in The Proposal. Lol that's true. My friend said something similar. Really thought they'd be living well into the early 100s and bang it came out of nowhere. But I'm convinced that the first person to live to be 150 is going to be born in the next decade or two. |

many years ago, my mom found a rare dvd that featured episodes of Betty White's show "Date with the Angels" at some garage sale. The show is cute, it's definitely cut from the same cloth as I love lucy & the Dick Van Dyke show. It's one of her earlier shows that is still obscure but I consider myself lucky to have seen even just a couple episodes of it.
I've streamed the Mary Tyler Moore show, & Betty was iconic as Sue Ann, & I don't think she gets enough credit for playing rich b*tch mean girl Ellen Harper Jackson on Mama's Family (& the Carol Burnett Show), that character is such a stark contrast to "Rose" on the Golden Girls, which is probably her best known role.
I also enjoyed her as Ann Douglas, Stephanie Forrester's mother on Bold & Beautiful. Her arc on that show was so memorable & also helped to further humanize the character of Stephanie (Susan Flannery)
