DESCRIPTION:

Classy Day marks the birthday of beloved American actress and animal rights activist Betty White. She was known for her grace and impeccable sense of being in public and private.

Betty White (January 17, 1922 - December 31, 2021) was renowned for her pioneering work in television; White's career spanned more than eight decades, marked by her versatility and enduring appeal.

White's career began in the late 1930s, and she quickly gained recognition for her work on the radio and later as a television host. She became a household name in the 1970s playing Sue Ann Nivens on the CBS sitcom "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," a performance that earned her two Emmy Awards.

However, her most beloved role came later when she portrayed Rose Nylund on the NBC sitcom "The Golden Girls" from 1985 to 1992. White's portrayal of the sweet-natured but often naive Rose earned her critical acclaim and another Emmy Award. The show became a cultural touchstone, celebrated for portraying older women in a feisty and positive way.

In addition to her television work, White was a passionate advocate for animal welfare, dedicating much of her life to various animal charities. Her work in this field was as significant to her legacy as her contributions to entertainment.

White's enduring popularity saw a resurgence in the 2000s with appearances in films and television, including hosting "Saturday Night Live" in 2010, following a grassroots campaign on social media. This appearance earned her yet another Emmy, solidifying her status as a television icon.

White was recognized for her longevity in the industry and her trailblazing role as a female television pioneer. She was one of the first women to exert control in front of and behind the camera and is remembered as a beloved figure whose wit, charm, and talent brought joy to generations of viewers. Classy Day celebrates her legacy.
