https://www.kiro7.com/news/trending/heres-how-betty-white-will-celebrate-her-99th-birthday/KOU6VKODAJECBGIBAR3KCOTJFM/Betty White is not going to be idle when she celebrates her 99th birthday on Sunday.
The television legend, who was born Jan. 17, 1922, in Oak Park, Illinois, will be in quarantine but also will be paying attention to animals.
You probably didnt ask, but Ill tell you anyway, White told Entertainment Tonight. What am I doing for my birthday? Running a mile each morning has been curtailed by COVID, so I am working on getting The Pet Set re-released, and feeding the two ducks who come to visit me every day.
The Pet Set was Whites 1971 show that co-starred her husband, game-show host Allen Ludden, who also produced the series. The show, which had 31 episodes, included appearances by such stars as Vincent Price, Andy Williams, Bob Crane, Rod Serling, Jim Nabors, Doris Day, Della Reese, Mike Connors and others.
The stars spoke about their pets, including a wide range of animals such as bears, cougars, elephants, gorillas, kangaroos, tigers and zebras. The animals were spotlighted in the studio and on location, Entertainment Tonight reported.
The show will be re-released digitally and on DVD on Feb. 23, in time for the shows 50th anniversary, Today reported.

(12,429 posts)It looks like a lot of fun, having celebrities, real ones who actually accomplished stuff, not reality-TV stars like nowadays, appear with their pets. I wonder what kind of pet Rod Serling had? Maybe something like Oscar?

(51,609 posts)It was the password when I got my first computer (I changed the spelling for seciity). It is the only password I have never forgotten.
What's up with game show hosts and helping animals? Bob Barker of The Price is Right is a big animal advocate and he is 97!

Her enduring love for animals is my favorite thing about her - she's been active in animal charities throughout her life.
Pictured here with her St Bernard* 67yrs ago...
And with a sweet Golden in 2012...
