Happy 90th Birthday Betty White!
Dear Ms. Betty White,
Our first memories of you go back to the days of the Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970) in your wonderful role as the devious Sue Ann Nivens. And no one will ever forget your loveable ditzy character Rose Nylund in The Golden Girls, a surprise hit show that starred 4 actresses well over the age of 50. In fact it’s taken nearly 30 years for the TV world to have the courage to feature “older women” again in a series, and miraculously you’re one of them, as the hottest of the hot, in Hot in Cleveland. And now you’ve even got your own new reality show called "Off Their Rockers", which is proof positive that you are a rocking 90 year old!
When we grow up dear Betty, we want to be just like you, one heck of a broad. You have single handedly reinvented what 90 looks like! Engaged in the world around you, grateful for what life has brought your way, funny, sexy, with a twinkle in the eye that says it all. Thanks for the countless hours of laughter and joy, and being an inspiration to us all. Keep rocking and enjoy the ride.
Love,
The Three Tomatoes
A few of our favorite Betty White Thoughts and Quotes:
Betty says she feels sad for people who freak out when they turn 30 or 40, because “they waste a whole decade whining about getting older instead of enjoying the ride.”
"Keep the other person’s well-being in mind when you feel an attack of soul-purging truth coming on."
“Oh, I don’t need sleep. I just went to my hotel and had a cold hot dog and vodka on the rocks.”
"I have a two story house and a bad memory! I'm up and down those stairs all the time: 'What did I come up here for again?'”
“Why do people say "grow some balls"? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding”.
“Retirement is not in my vocabulary. They aren't going to get rid of me that way.”
