LOS ANGELES (AP) β Actress Betty White, whose saucy, up-for-anything charm made her a television mainstay for more than 60 years, has died. She was 99.
People and the Washington Post reported Whiteβs death.
Her witty style gave life to a roster of quirky characters over more than a half-century. They included the oddball Rose Nylund in βThe Golden Girlsβ and the outspoken caretaker on βHot In Cleveland.β
She also drew laughs with occasional salty one-liners in the 2009 comedy βThe Proposalβ and the horror spoof βLake Placid.β By popular demand, she hosted βSaturday Night Liveβ in 2011.
White once said her character Sue Ann Nivens in βThe Mary Tyler Moore Showβ could be βicky-sweetβ but was βreally a piranha type.β That role brought her two Emmys.
