Here's to 98 more!
Betty White, who turns 98 Friday, credits optimism for lifetime of happiness
America's golden girl Betty White is celebrating a long and bountiful life, turning 98 on Friday.
Her secret to longevity? Her love of pets, hot dogs and vodka, she once joked.
With more than 75 years in show business, the comedic staple made generations laugh with "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "The Golden Girls" and "Hot in Cleveland."
White, born Jan. 17, 1922, first worked as an assistant on a local TV station before getting in front of the camera for her first sitcom, "Life with Elizabeth." With this 1950s show, White became one of the first female producers in Hollywood.
Throughout her career, she accumulated 24 Emmy nominations and won eight.
Becoming a nonagenarian certainly didn't slow her down. She became the oldest host in the history of "Saturday Night Live" and made dozens of cameos, including a 2010 Snickers Super Bowl commercial where she gets tackled to the ground.
For her last birthday, White celebrated by playing poker with decades-long friends. She called herself a "cockeyed optimist" and credits her attitude for her lifetime of happiness.
"I know it sounds corny, but I try to see the funny side and the upside, not the downside. I get bored with people who complain about this or that. It's such a waste of time," she told Parade Magazine in 2018.

Who doesn't love her. She's one of the best things that America has produced.

She's a very sweet and kind person. She eats right and has never drunk alcohol, and she used to walk to school when she was little. That, and I guess she's just got good genes.
Funny story about alcohol. Somebody left some vodka at her house after a party. She doesn't drink, so she poured it into some grape juice. Later when she was out, her son and his wife dropped by. The wife poked her nose into the fridge, saw the grape juice, and drank it.
She got drunk!
I really laughed at that, cause nobody likes his wife!
Even funnier, one night at dinner her late husband complained that the mashed potatoes were cold. Without a word,
she dumped a glass of water on his head!
I laughed so hard at that story that my sides hurt! He never again complained about the mashed potatoes.

Thanks, Crystal. I tell her about this place all the time, which amuses her. I will see her again on Monday, and I'll relay your kind words to her.

She is
amazing,
almost as amazing as my Aunt who turned
100
on
September 1.
I visited her today, and she is doing great, still sharp as a tack! And her memory is better than mine!
PS The other day she said she was going for 200. I replied,
"If you make it to 200, you're gonna get your name in the papers."

If she sees this, I hope she lets us know!
