Beloved actress, comedian and American icon Betty White has died, just weeks before a milestone birthday, TMZ has just reported.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Betty, 99, passed away at her home just before 9:30 AM Friday.
A trailblazer and pioneer in media, Betty had the longest running career for any woman in TV prior to her death — starring in multiple shows over the past 8 decades, starting way back in 1939.
Betty is perhaps most famous for her lead role as Rose Nylund in “The Golden Girls,” which ran from 1985 to 1992.
White, a longtime LGBTQ ally, once said: “I don’t care who anybody sleeps with. If a couple has been together all that time – and there are gay relationships that are more solid than some heterosexual ones – I think it’s fine if they want to get married. I don’t know how people can get so anti-something.”
RIP
