The last survivor of “Golden Girls” celebrated her 90th birthday with a host of friends and viewers.
Betty White celebrated her 90th birthday with her own TV special Monday night called “A Tribute to America’s Golden Girl.”
The television special aired on NBC, and featured her closest friends and co-stars honoring the new 90-year-old.
White celebrated with the likes of Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Hugh Jackman and Carol Burnett.
Others on hand to celebrate with White were her current “Hot in Cleveland” co-stars, Wendie Malick, Valerie Bertinelli and Jane Leeves; Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Mary Tyler Moore, 75, who co-starred with White on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”
Most exciting was when President Obama appeared on the screen to wish White a happy birthday. His message went over well with the crowd and collected a slew of giggles and laughs.
“I can’t believe you’re 90 years old,” said Obama as he wrote a letter to White and questioned her age “Will you please produce a copy of your long-form birth certificate?”
Obama then placed a photo of White on a desk in his office.
Humor isn’t anything new for White, who’s best known for being a feisty funny woman in most of her roles throughout her career— White just launched a reality prank show called “Off Their Rockers,” where senior citizens will prank others.
As we previously reported, the actress who’s been in showbiz for over seven decades, has quite the resume. She’s taken seven Emmy Awards home including her most recent was in 2010 for Outstanding Guest Actress on A Comedy Series after she hosted “Saturday Night Live;” she has also written six books, including her last, New York Times Bestseller “If You Ask Me (And Of Course You Wont).”
