![]() The following are some of the Rose’s best moments and lines on the show. ![]() So Rue McClanahan was cast as Blanche, and White became sweet, ditzy Rose, one of the most beloved of the “Golden Girls.” The show’s director, Jay Sandrich, however, had worked with White on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and thought the Blanche character was too close to White’s role on it, Sue Ann Nivens. White was originally supposed to portray the hot-to-trot widow Blanche Devereaux on the comedy series about four senior women living together in Miami. Rest in Peace, Betty White.Betty White wasn’t supposed to play Rose Nylund on “The Golden Girls,” but we are so grateful that she did. Betty White was truly a charming comedic genius and an absolute gem of a human being… she will be sorely missed by everyone she’s touched through her 80+ year in show business. Oh my… I’m laughing and crying at the same time watching these clips. This census skit with Tina Fey made me laugh so hard every time! Her dead-pan expression makes the whole thing even more hysterical. And as I’ve quit Facebook for over a year now, I agree wholeheartedly how dumb it is to waste your time using that app, ahah. The dancing scene is just so absurd but made me laugh and truly, we could have more Betty White scenes in this movie!Īs for her TV appearances, her opening SNL monologues are definitely one of the funniest of the show and I love how she’s always game with poking fun at herself. This particular scene is a hoot and you could tell her co-stars could barely contain their laughter. “When Betty White asks for a coffee you get her a f****** cup of coffee” LOL! I love that she’s not afraid to play against type and show her ‘nasty’ side… as evident in this prank video Reynolds himself posted on her 99th birthday. She developed a friendship with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds and they seem to have similar sense of humor. On films, I think most contemporary audience are most familiar with her role in The Proposal where she effortlessly stole the show every time she came on. Here are some of her funniest Scandinavian quips from her show: She’s definitely my favorite of the four Golden Girls and how funny that I end up living in Minnesota where her character Rose Nylund is from (St Olaf, MN to be exact!). My first intro to Betty White was in Golden Girls when I was still living in Jakarta. Not many people have had a phenomenal career spanning eight decades, but she was truly a one of a kind talent who’s genuinely hilarious on and off screen. ![]() I’ve actually just seen the documentary on her called Betty White – The First Lady of Television just this past April which is on Netflix. I hope this will be shown in my local cineplex, but I definitely would watch it when it’s available on streaming. Per Deadline, the documentary will proceed as planned which includes highlights from White’s unprecedented TV career, her telling inside stories about her life, and clips of the funniest moments from various shows such as The Golden Girls, SNL, Hot in Cleveland, The Proposal and The Mary Tyler Moore Show among others. In fact, there’s a big plan to commemorate her birthday on January 17 with a special theatrical screening of Betty White: 100 Years Young for one night only. ![]() She’s just about two weeks shy of her 100th birthday. I think everyone is ready to say goodbye to 2021 and losing such a legend like Betty White is another blow to an already tough year □ I was out and about most of the day and heard about her passing while I was driving in my car. Oh wow… I wasn’t expecting to be posting this today.
