According to her wikipedia page, she passed on. So... yeah. Dunno.

Firefighter told Rolling Stone it's true. Frakking hell.

This is one I refuse to be sad about. Refuse.
And it's not because I don't love Betty White. I do. I grew up watching Golden Girls when it was new and reruns of The Mary Tyler Moore Show on Nick at Nite when I was visiting my grandparents, because they were the only ones in the family who had cable until about 1998. She's always been hilarious and frankly, I think she got funnier and funnier the older she got.
I refuse to be sad because Betty White lived to be almost 100 years old, had a glorious career that she thoroughly enjoyed and which spanned decades in an industry that was notoriously hard to crack, had several deeply profound friendships, found meaning in philanthropic causes she held dear, and was told regularly and consistently how entirely beloved she was by many, many, many people.
That is not something to be sad about. That is a life extraordinarily well-lived.

@aria Well said, Aria. I plan on watching Golden Girls tonight. Always one of my favourite shows that I'll pull out when I'm feeling down.

I concur.
I’m watching The Fresh Prince reruns right now, and my God how good was James Avery on that show?
Tonight he dines on turtle soup in Heaven.

That's a really nice image. And it's canon so who am I to argue.

I don't know if he's a big celebrity or not but Richard Leakey has passed.

@too-old-for-this that is even time?!

@wretched I HAVE to separate out the 2021 dead from the 2022 dead! It is disturbing that we ended one year losing a beloved comedian and started the next losing a beloved comedian.
