Still a television regular in her 96th year, Betty White, is something like a solid gold Hollywood treasure, and has decided to share her secrets for a long life.
Rather than anything elaborate, the actress advises one simple life philosophy: always keep your glass half full, rather than half empty.
Betty’s message is: ‘Enjoy life… Accentuate the positive, not the negative.’
She loves vodka and hot dogs, ‘probably in that order,’ she says, and has an unrequited crush on Robert Redford, and unbelievably, has never worked with the star at any point of her 75 year career.
Betty is the oldest working female in entertainment, declared Parade Mag, who ran a landmark interview with Betty weeks before her 96th birthday on January 17th.
Perseverance and resilience are the qualities Betty credits to her success, and because of her positive outlook, the actress has always been much-loved by audiences. Betty was turned away from studios for not been photogenic enough, according to bosses, but her message is: ‘You just keep plugging away. You don’t give up.’
