Can anyone truly encapsulate a life lived so vibrantly, so generously, and so fully in just a few words? It's nearly impossible, yet the name Betty White alone evokes a sense of warmth, humor, and an unparalleled legacy; she was a force of nature, a true icon whose impact on Hollywood and the world at large is simply undeniable.

With a career that gracefully danced across more than seven decades, Betty White wasn't just an actress; she was a cultural touchstone, a comedic genius, and a beloved figure who transcended generations. From her early days in television to her unforgettable role as Rose Nylund on "The Golden Girls," and beyond, she captivated audiences with her impeccable timing, her infectious laughter, and her genuine warmth. She wasn't just a star; she was America's sweetheart, and her passing on December 31, 2021, just a mere 18 days shy of her 100th birthday, left a void in the entertainment industry and the hearts of millions.
