==Lutheran==

Is Betty White really a Lutheran? I heard she hates the Greek Orthodox Church and the pope too. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/98.228.37.81|98.228.37.81]] ([[User talk:98.228.37.81|talk]]) 06:41, 19 September 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

<!-- Begin request -->

Please add "Diagnosis Murder (1994)" to Television under Filmography for Betty White, because she starred in the December, 1994 episode titled Death By Extermination. Googling Betty White Diagnosis Murder will bring up many sources for verification. [[User:Randwolfray|Randwolfray]] ([[User talk:Randwolfray|talk]]) 05:33, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

== Death? ==

Okay, I can't find any valid sources, but I heard on the radio (this may be a mistake) that Betty White has just died! I KNOW if this were the case that I'd find it elsewhere in the internet, right? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/76.235.90.5|76.235.90.5]] ([[User talk:76.235.90.5|talk]]) 22:38, 3 July 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:Sigh. No it's not the case at all. It's completely false, untrue and distasteful. <span style="solid;background:#5D8AA8; border-radius: 8px; -moz-border-radius: 8px; font-family: Segoe Print">'''[[User:MikeAllen|<font color="#3FFF00">Mike</font>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:MikeAllen|<font color="#3FFF00">Allen</font>]]'''</span> 23:18, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

::Its not sistasteful to inquire about someones passing. All I see here is a person asking for clarification about something they heard. No need to [[WP:Bite|jump all over]] them.--[[User:Jojhutton|Jojhutton]] ([[User talk:Jojhutton|talk]]) 23:42, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

:::This isn't a [[WP:FORUM|forum]]. It's so simple to enter "Betty White dies" into Google News and see what happens. Also, I would stop listening to that radio station.

::::Looked like a simple content question to me. But if one were to simply go ahead and assume bad faith right from the begining, then I could see how one might act that way toward another.--[[User:Jojhutton|Jojhutton]] ([[User talk:Jojhutton|talk]]) 01:28, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

:::::The "completely false, untrue, and distasteful" is aimed at the radio station.

:::::::Perhaps there should have been a more clear clarification, rather than assuming what was actually broadcast over the airwaves. I was not privy to any broadcast, but it doesn't matter, only what is in or out of the article matters, and it was only a simple question that didn't need to be answered in such a harsh manner.

== Author and memoribilia ==

She is also a author and has written books and just got a new book deal. Let's not forget to add that with this article. Also everything that has her face or name on it as seemed to skyrocket. This should be include just based on the fact that she's a icon and other wikipeida pages of icons include this information. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/69.2.191.35|69.2.191.35]] ([[User talk:69.2.191.35|talk]]) 18:23, 21 August 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Betty White and Allen Ludden ==

As written in her book, and stated in numerous interviews, Betty White met her husband, Allen Ludden, on his show Password in 1961, not on the Jack Paar show as noted on this page.

[[User:MRaiDua|MRaiDua]] ([[User talk:MRaiDua|talk]]) 06:38, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

I verified the appearance of Betty & Allen on What's My Line through a video clip posted on YouTube. Since WP blocks YouTube links I couldn't include it as an official reference, but the segment is there (as of July 10, 2011) for everyone to see at youtu.be/upofiPa8od8.

== Vandalism on Betty White page ==

I'm fairly certain this is not accurate, but wasn't sure how to correct it, since the paragraph would not flow quite right if deleted. Can someone fix?

"200 B C - 1200 A D White was born to the proud parents of Adam & Eve White. She left home at an early age, to assist Noah, there aging neighbor by caring for his large collection of animals while residing on a self constructed sea vessel."

== Incorrect information in early career? ==

Under the first section of her career, it says Betty found work modeling after high school, but in a recent interview on the David Letterman show, she was shown a picture of herself from her younger years and David asked if it was from a modeling shoot, to which she replied, "No, I've never modeled in my life." Should this remark from her early career be removed? The David Letterman interview is available on YouTube and dated January 18, 2011.

== Second divorce ==

== Awards and Books ==

Betty White actually has just received a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album, So that needs to be added in. And at the bottom of the page where it says "Books by White" about 2 weeks ago she just published another book. This is the name of the book "Betty & Friends: My Life at the Zoo" Also for the awards in 1952 Betty won the Emmy award for best actress, she got nominated in 1951 also (the 1951 part is correct on here). But the 1952 Emmy should be added. She talks about it in many interviews and books. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/71.230.27.14|71.230.27.14]] ([[User talk:71.230.27.14|talk]]) 03:57, 5 December 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== move to california ==

The article says that the family moved to Los Angeles during the Great Depression. They are listed in the 1930 census dated April 17, 1930 as living in Los Angeles, so they must have arrive fairly early in the depression.
