Betty White’s final on-camera appearance was just 10 days before her death.
The iconic actress passed away last Friday at age 99, about two weeks before she would have celebrated her centennial year. For the milestone, she had recorded a message for fans to appear in a star-studded film event set to hit theaters on her birthday, titled “Betty White: A Celebration”
Steven Boettcher, the director of the upcoming film special about Betty White, says it was the late star’s idea to record a personal message for her fans. That’s so Betty White!!
Following her death, there have been some changes to the film, he says. The special was renamed Betty White: A Celebration from Betty White: 100 Years Young and “retooled a little bit to reflect the news,” Boettcher notes. It will also showcase clips from her long career in Hollywood, from her early role in a 1950’s sitcom to Golden Girls, Hot in Cleveland and The Proposal. Here’s a sneak peak. Courtesy YouTube
