If she wasn't on the Golden Girls, she'd be nothing. The only reason she's even relevant nowadays is because she plasters herself in countless commercials as the stereotypical white elderly person. Too bad in reality she's just a mean old lady who is literally on death's doorstop but won't take a hint and just retire.

Well, not exactly accurate. She had her first hit with Life With Elizabeth. Then The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Then the Golden Girls in addition to many on going appearances in many other series, talk shows, game shows. Just check her IMDB listings. Its the 50+ years of show biz and longevity that is also being celebrated as it is extremely rare in that industry to have only 1 hit; yet she has accomplished it many times. Also a celebrated long term marriage- unusual in general, quite rare in the industry. This is why she is held and rated highly.

what's sad is that she ended up being in things for longer than 6 or a few years afte thsi post, it ended up being 8 after this post. pathetic how she held on to being in things till her dying day at 99. highly overrated and very annoying personality.

ntastic — 12 years ago(July 31, 2013 04:41 AM)I doubt you're the only person who thinks she's overrated but I'll bet you're the first person to take the time get on the Internet and create a post about someone you claim you don't like.
Oh, wait, you're not the first yutz to do that either. For whatever reason, there's a slew of people out there who seek out things they don't like online and then post bitter and stupid posts such as yours.
I'll give you this much though - you obviously know nothing about Betty's career because it does predate the 1980s. All you whippersnappers seem to forget the world existed before 1980. It was a wonderful time actually - no vapid reality shows or vaguely racist a**holes ranting because an old person they dont like for no justiable reason just won't die already. Seriously, the 80s rocked the casbah. -

i dont know her past roles, but shes cropping up the last 10 years in tv shows and movies.
and i see here in this forum how much love people have for her.
mind you, i dont judge her talent
but she annoys the hell out of me!
i actively try to avoid anything shes in, i stopped watching hot in cleveland when she appeared. -

yes you're right she is terribly overrated, joan rivers was beter than her by far, much more of a trailblazer and maverick comedian than white. took a lot bigger tcnaces in losing her career than white and was a far superior comedian in intellect, wit and creativity, talent, skill, cleverness.
