Betty White

Betty Marion White Ludden (born January 30, 1922, in Oak Park, IL) is an American actress, author, comedienne, singer and TV star. She hosted her only game show, Just Men!, in 1983, for which she won an Emmy award; she became the first female to win the Emmy for Outstanding Game Show Host. She is best remembered for her role as Rose Nylund on The Golden Girls. As co-star Rue McClanahan passed away in 2010, Betty is the last surviving Golden Girl. She met (and later married) Password host Allen Ludden in 1963. Allen passed away in 1981. That same year, Betty appeared on a special celebrity week of Password Plus; she was joined by Dick Martin, Lucille Ball, and Desi Arnaz, Jr. She won three Alphabetics: twice with Dick, giving the clues both times, and once with Lucy, receiving the clues. Betty also starred in other sitcoms, such as The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Mama's Family with Vicki Lawrence, The Betty White Show alongside future Magnum P.I. star John Hillerman and the current hit TV Land series Hot in Cleveland. These days, Betty is hosting her own NBC hidden-camera series, Betty White’s Off Their Rockers (based on the Belgian television show Benidorm B******s), which was just renewed for its second season in the mid-season schedule. On July 11, 2013, The Hollywood Reporter said that NBC has canceled the series, citing a drop-off in ratings and low DVR viewership. However, on October 18, 2013, it was announced that cable network Lifetime has revived the series for a third season with an all-new twenty episode order. The series is expected to premiere on Lifetime February 28, 2014.

From December 14 until December 25 2015, the game show channel Buzzr aired a special-themed marathon block called a "Betty White Christmas" featuring various episode of classic game shows starring her.
