Is Betty White really a Lutheran? I heard she hates the Greek Orthodox Church and the pope too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.228.37.81 (talk) 06:41, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can she speak Greek? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.185.156.167 (talk) 00:55, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

{{editsemiprotected}} 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. Randwolfray (talk) 05:33, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This has been  Done. Thank you. Mike Allen 05:52, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Should be some mention of her nude playing card, no? Kelly.terry.jones (talk) 17:45, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.235.90.5 (talk) 22:38, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh. No it's not the case at all. It's completely false, untrue and distasteful. Mike Allen 23:18, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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 jump all over them.--Jojhutton (talk) 23:42, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't a 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. Thank you.Mike Allen 00:41, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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.--Jojhutton (talk) 01:28, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The "completely false, untrue, and distasteful" is aimed at the radio station. Perhaps you should check you own faith towards others. Mike Allen 01:57, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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. I'm done.--Jojhutton (talk) 02:05, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.2.191.35 (talk) 18:23, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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. Nymatis (talk) 02:32, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just got done watching the episode of Inside the Actor's Studio with Betty White and came here, about ten and a half minutes into the program, she states that Allen Ludden died of bladder cancer, not stomach cancer.

She misspoke on that occasion. Two of her books, "Here We Go Again" and "Betty White in Person," state that he was diagnosed with stomach cancer.

Here are a few different head shots to choose from. --David Shankbone 23:11, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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."

{{edit semi-protected}} I posted the information about the time slot win for the Last Valentine which starred Betty and there is a citation request. Here is the source for the information:

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. nethnet™ 23:41, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The infobox says 1949, the body of the article says 1953. Flatterworld (talk) 01:08, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.230.27.14 (talk) 03:57, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Betty White has just received 2 SAG awards ( Screen actors guild ). One for Hot in Cleveland and the other for "The Lost Valentine." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.230.27.14 (talk) 00:47, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Portzer (talk • contribs) 04:58, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

She has won the Grammy award she was nominated for, congrats Betty White, now an official Grammy Winner! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raveonforever (talk • contribs) 22:41, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

IS:

In September 2011, she teamed up with English singer Luciana to produce a remix of her song "I'm Still Hot". The song was released digitally on September 22, 2011[32] and the video later premiered on October 6, 2011. It was made for a campaign for a life setttlement program, The Lifeline.

SHOULD BE:

i heard she just died in her sleep 67.88.44.146 (talk) 17:57, 2 March 2012 (UTC)3/2/12[reply]

The filmography lists the 1959 movie Santa Claus. I fixed the link (which was pointing to the main Santa Claus page), but can anyone confirm that Ms. White was actually in that bizarre movie? I can't find any references to this on the web. I suspect it's wrong. MrRK (talk) 17:35, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I trawled through the history, and it seems it was added with this edit, when converting from columns to a list. It didn't appear before, so I am assuming it was either a mistake or well hidden vandalism. Either way, it's okay to remove it. Clay^Clay_Clay 18:14, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Correct me if I'm wrong (nicely), but I've been watching repeats of The Love Boat on TV recently and there were a number of episodes with Betty White in them. She was with Carol Channing, and played an aging show-girl. I believe the years were 1981, 1982, 1984 and 1985. I believe this should be added to her filmography, especially as there is another page on wikipedia that lists her as a star on the show. Even if you type "Betty White Love Boat" into google, this can be verified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.201.73.61 (talk) 04:24, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Betty White page has an error in it that needs to be removed. Under "Early Life" it says she died on July 22,2012 (which is tomorrow) of a heart attack! Please delete this sentence.

The article presently states: " Although several sources state White won an Emmy for the show ["Life with Elizabeth"] this appears to be incorrect, and may be a matter of confusing the 1950 nomination with a win." Aside from being speculative, that's obviously incorrect; on multiple occasions White has given a detailed account of the win in question. A little informal research on the issue suggests that what White is remembering is a local Emmy for Los Angeles, which is the only regional Emmy presented by the same organization that handles the Primetime Emmys, but isn't quite the same thing. Unfortunately, I can't find anything that seems to qualify as a credible source for this suggestion. Other editors with more resources and more patience may wish to look into the matter. 76.179.179.249 (talk) 15:43, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know the subject of Betty White well enough to comment, but I think there's some things wrong with the article:

Born in 1922 (age 91) - which seems right from other sites
Years active: from 1912 - that can't be right?
"has become the oldest nominee as of 2013, aged 111" - which would mean she was born in 1902?

It is an ongoing struggle to keep vandalism out of this article, and it probably should be indefinitely semi-protected. Most of it is stuff like date changes that the bots don't catch, I don't always see it, and there don't seem to be a lot of highly active editors watching it. Please make sure it's on your watchlist, and do revert any unsourced changes to the vital stats. Rivertorch (talk) 05:23, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
