Williams Clarence Williams III Mary Wilson BETTY WHITE, BETTY WHITE, a pioneering actor and SAG Life Achievement Award recipient, died Dec. 31 at the age of 99. White was a prolific artist whose appeal crossed generational lines. She made an indelible mark on television as Sue Ann Nivens on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Rose Nylund on The Golden Girls and in many other roles throughout the decades. In 2009, she was presented the 46th SAG Life Achievement Award, not just for her enduring career, but also because of her extensive philanthropy, much of it in support of animal causes. White got her start in radio, and in the 1950s, she went on to be one of the first women to produce a television show. In the 1960s and 1970s, she was a regular on gameshows such as Password, The Hollywood Squares and The $25,000 Pyramid. In the 1980s, she would step behind the podium as host of a gameshow titled Just Men! The program was canceled after 65 episodes, but, as ever, White made an impression, and she became the first woman to win the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Game Show Host. In 2010, at the age of 88, she became the oldest person to host Saturday Night Live, and four years later, Guinness World Records named her the record-holder for the longest TV career for a female entertainer. Throughout her long career and life, White remained one of the most well-liked actors in the public eye. A 2011 poll found her to be the most popular and most trusted celebrity among Americans, beating out Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, Will Smith and Johnny Depp. KE VIN M A ZUR / WIREIM AGE .COM
