Betty White reveals she has no plans to retire at age 96
The Hollywood icon is the subject of a new PBS documentary, titled “Betty White: First Lady of Television,” which details her rise to stardom as a beloved actress and comedienne.
While the film is set to premiere on August 21, White and her closest friends had the chance to see it back in January during her birthday celebration. “It was at her party with 400 of her closest friends,” said Steven J. Boettcher, who co-directed the film. “When it was over, she asked, ‘Does it have too much Betty White?’ It was so cute!”
Boettcher said it took 10 years to complete the upcoming movie, giving him a personal and extensive look at White’s life and career. “We spent a great deal of time with her on this project and she never said a bad word about anyone,” he explained. “Through her career, every cast and crew member loved working with her. She’d remember every one of those names, their kids and most importantly, the names of their pets!”
In addition to acting, White has served for more than four decades as a trustee and on the board of the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association. According to the six-time Emmy winner and last living star from the hit ‘80s sitcom “The Golden Girls,” the secret to success is enjoying life. “Accentuate the positive, not the negative,” she explained. “It sounds so trite, but a lot of people will pick out something to complain about, rather than say, ‘Hey, that was great!’ It’s not hard to find great stuff if you look.”
White said she also loves vodka and hot dogs “probably in that order.”
