The Lady was a class act.

I once saw Betty White on a talk show (years ago when on-air language was strictly enforced) and she was asked how she and Allen Ludden met. This was before he died. She told the story of how they met and dated then added how he asked her several times to marry him. She went on with that she just wasn't interested in getting married, having been married twice before, neither of which lasted very long. She ended with "Well, Allen just kept asking and asking so I finally said Yes. I figured that was the only way to stop the S.O.B. from bothering me."

Betty White was the master of the setup.

The end of more than one era

Submitted by GlenJay on Fri, 12/31/2021 - 5:22pm.

'The Golden Girls', 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show': all gone now. (Four MTM stars died in 2021: Ed Asner, Cloris Leachman, Gavin MacLeod, and now Betty White.)

A couple of years before she joined MTM, Betty White and her husband Allen Ludden appeared on 'The Odd Couple' with Tony Randall and Jack Klugman as contestants on Ludden's show 'Password'.
