Betty White: TV's golden girl on 63 years in showbusiness

Michael Cragg

The former Mary Tyler Moore show star is still turning down work at 90. 'They don't know how to get rid of me,' she tells us

"Why do people say 'grow some balls'? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding." If you happen to look this quote up, you'll see it attributed to notoriously sweet 90-year-old TV great Betty White. Only those words never passed her lips, and she'd quite like people to bear that in mind next time they see fit to quote it at her, as I have just done. "That's what I hate about Facebook and the internet," she sighs. "They can say you said anything. I never would have said that. I'd never say that in a million years."

7. I'm glad someone said it, but I'd feel like her if ascribed to me.

I loved some of the outfits I checked out on Ru Paul yesterday, but even anecdotally they'd look ridiculous on me.

8. Thank you.

Didn’t really sound like her.

12. I could have sworn she said it on SNL.

Maybe I dreamt it, but I don't think so.

4. Absolute. Truth. Regardless of who said it.

5. She did not say that

“That’s what I hate about Facebook and the internet. They can say you said anything. I never would have said that. I’d never say that in a million years.”

So, who did say it? Partial credit goes to New York standup comedian Sheng Wang, who delivered a lengthier version of the joke on the 28 January 2011 episode of Comedy Central Presents

13. it's still a truism

and funny, no matter who said it

11. Can we believe anything on the internet.

Is what has been posted here about Betty White not making this statement true?
We just don't know.

[BlackSkimmer]

14. She never said that.

Not her style at all.
