Her foray into the entertainment industry began early when she first appeared in a radio program in 1930.

Since then, White has been an icon in the TV industry, hosting and even co-producing her own shown when she was just 28.

Her co-stars are all praise for her, with Bullock calling her such a presence on the set that most of the others fade into silence to avoid getting cut off from the scene.

White is also celebrating her 100th in a very special way, with a 100-minute single-day movie called “Betty White: 100 Years Younger”.

Along with showcasing the best moments of her shows, White’s movie will also have many co-stars talk about her, namely Ryan Reynolds, Clint Eastwood, and Carol Burnett.
