Showing Original Post only (View all)Here's how Betty White will celebrate her 99th birthday tomorrow [View all]
https://www.kiro7.com/news/trending/heres-how-betty-white-will-celebrate-her-99th-birthday/KOU6VKODAJECBGIBAR3KCOTJFM/Betty White is not going to be idle when she celebrates her 99th birthday on Sunday.
The television legend, who was born Jan. 17, 1922, in Oak Park, Illinois, will be in quarantine but also will be paying attention to animals.
You probably didnt ask, but Ill tell you anyway, White told Entertainment Tonight. What am I doing for my birthday? Running a mile each morning has been curtailed by COVID, so I am working on getting The Pet Set re-released, and feeding the two ducks who come to visit me every day.
The Pet Set was Whites 1971 show that co-starred her husband, game-show host Allen Ludden, who also produced the series. The show, which had 31 episodes, included appearances by such stars as Vincent Price, Andy Williams, Bob Crane, Rod Serling, Jim Nabors, Doris Day, Della Reese, Mike Connors and others.
The stars spoke about their pets, including a wide range of animals such as bears, cougars, elephants, gorillas, kangaroos, tigers and zebras. The animals were spotlighted in the studio and on location, Entertainment Tonight reported.
The show will be re-released digitally and on DVD on Feb. 23, in time for the shows 50th anniversary, Today reported.

Happy Birthday Betty White

I wonder how many people have Allen Ludden as their password for tech stuff?

I really miss the days of the variety show when comedy was king. Carol Burnett, Dean Martin, Flip!
