Betty White is an Emmy-award winning television and film actress born on January 17, 1922 in Oak Park, Illinois. A graduate of Beverly Hills High School in California, she first worked as glamour model before continuing on to a career in television. Betty White has worked on numerous TV shows, among them The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Golden Palace, That 70s Show, Malcolm in the Middle, Boston Legal, and Family Guy. She’s also appeared in the movies Advise and Consent, Hard Rain, Lake Placid, The Story of Us, and Bringing Down the House.

Rose Nylund is played by Betty White in the award-winning television sitcom The Golden Girls. The most kind-hearted member of the group, she’s often shown as being comically naïve, and has a tendency to tell rambling stories about her odd hometown St. Olaf in Minnesota. Her earliest years were spent in an orphanage, though she was adopted and raised by dairy farmers along with eight siblings, and she says that they were all loved equally. Betty also nurtured a deep love for animals during her time on the farm, and became heavily involved in charity work later in her life.
