It was an anomaly
In the entertainment industry, which focuses on youth and where the career of an actress after the age of forty may be coming to an end, there was a White anomaly, Reuters reported. White was a star in her sixties and a phenomenon in pop culture in her eighties and nineties.
“Although Betty was soon to celebrate 100 years, I thought I would live forever,” actress and close friend Jeff Witjas told People magazine.
“It’s unbelievable that I’m still in the industry and that you still tolerate it,” White said during a performance at the 2018 Emmy Awards, when she was honored for her longevity. “It’s unbelievable that you can have a long life so long and people still tolerate it. I wish it were like that at home,” she added.
