Betty White, a beloved actress who played various roles in many classic TV shows, has passed away at the age of 99. Betty was due to celebrate her 100th birthday on January 17. Her death was confirmed by her publicist and agent, Jeff Witjas. The star was born in Oak Park, Illinois, and moved to Los Angeles as a child. The Los Angeles Times reports that her family was shocked at the news.

After her successful acting career, White began her career on the radio, making her television debut in 1939 in the experimental Los Angeles channel. In the following years, she made several guest appearances on many shows and was a regular on Hollywood Television. Later, she started a production company and co-created the hit 1950s sitcom "Life With Elizabeth." She continued to work on television into her 90s and was honored with a Hall of Fame induction in 1995.

White was famous for her portrayals of lovable senior citizens. She lent her voice to various roles, including "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Toy Story 4," and starred in commercials. She was also a regular on television, and she hosted her own PBS series. She was also an adoring friend of Jeff Witjas, a comedian who played a senior role in his hit show, 'Little House on the Prairie.'

The actress is best known for her role as Vicki Lawrence's daughter in "The Golden Girls." She also had numerous guest appearances on TV, where she won five Primetime Emmys and one competitive Daytime Emmy — as well as a lifetime achievement Daytime Emmy in 2015 and a Los Angeles regional Emmy in 1952 — in a television career that spanned seven decades and that the 2014 edition of "Guinness World Records" certified as the longest ever for a female entertainer.

In addition to her dozens of TV and movie roles, White was an accomplished writer, and she was a master of comic timing. She was named after her mother, who was an electrical executive. Her family moved to Los Angeles when she was two, and the family had a thriving business. During the Depression, her father traded radios for dogs. She became a celebrity in her 80s.
