America's Golden Girl โ Betty White, has passed away earlier today โ the very last day of 2021.
Less than 3 weeks before her 100th birthday, Betty White was found dead in her home on the morning of the last day of 2021.
A trailblazer and pioneer in media, Betty had the longest running career for any woman in TV prior to her death โ starring in multiple shows over the past 8 decades, starting way back in 1939.
Betty is perhaps most famous for her lead role as Rose Nylund in โThe Golden Girls,โ which ran from 1985 to 1992. She'd been in TONS of other big hits throughout her life though.

โEven though Betty was about to be 100, I thought she would live forever,โ her agent and close friend Jeff Witjas told PEOPLE in a statement on Friday. โI will miss her terribly and so will the animal world that she loved so much. I don't think Betty ever feared passing because she always wanted to be with her most beloved husband Allen Ludden. She believed she would be with him again.โย
