Betty White

Date of Birth: Jan. 17, 1922 Betty White’s resume reads like a history of television: She had her own show, Life with Elizabeth in 1952, decades before career-making roles as Sue Ann Nivens on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and as the dim-witted Rose Nylund on The Golden Girls. More recently, she’s taken on high-profile film roles in The Proposal and You Again and, in May 2010, gave in to a relentless Facebook campaign, and hosted Saturday Night Live, becoming the oldest person ever to do so.
