Where in the World is Betty White?!

I got a few comments asking me to tell you guys where Betty White is. Well, I did some research and found some stuff out. She was a voice over artist for such cartoons as Family Guy, King of the Hill, and the Wild Thornberries. In December 2006, White joined the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful in the role of Ann Douglas, the long-lost mother of the show's matriarch Stephanie Forrester, who is played by Susan Flannery. In February 2007, White returned as Ann, who had an intent to move to L.A. to be near her daughters. On the April 22, 2007 airing of The 2007 TV Land Awards, White starred in a parody of "Ugly Betty", aptly titled Ugly Betty White, in which she played America Ferrera's title character, with Charo playing Betty's sister Hilda and Erik Estrada playing her father Ignacio.[4] Due to her performance as Ugly Betty White, the producers of Ugly Betty signed White to play herself as the victim of Wilhelmina Slater's temper as they both vie for a cab in the episode Bananas for Betty, which aired December 6, 2007. White also has had a recurring role in ABC's Boston Legal as the calculating, blackmailing gossip-monger Catherine Piper, a role she originally portrayed as a guest star on The Practice. Betty White appeared as a roaster on the Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner. On May 19th, 2008, Betty White appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, taking part in the host's "Mary Tyler Moore Show" reunion special alongside every single surviving cast member of the series. White returned to Password in its latest incarnation, Million Dollar Password, on June 12, 2008, participating in the Million Dollar challenge at the end of the show. Her quick correct responses helped the contestant win $100,000. White has made a number of appearances in skits on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, playing the part of an Exxon representative, an accountant with a briefcase full of cocaine, and a nurse who just got her medical license from El Salvador. She also appeared as herself with a shoe box full of receipts, explaining that she was doing her taxes. On July 18, 2008 she also appeared on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno in a skit entitled "Can You Make Betty White Flinch". In the summer of 2008, Betty White began filming the upcoming motion picture "The Proposal" with Sandra Bullock in Boston.

Oh Betty, your such a talent. I could read this kind of blog all day.

Patty, I have some bad news. Fayh's come down with a bad cold. She hopes to be better by Saturday, but she doesn't want to prepare food and run the risk of getting us sick. Now I'm afraid we won't have enough side dishes for the bbq

I bought some potatoes this afternoon, can I drop them off at your place around 7? We'd love to have your famous potato salad.

Shame on you for using that language. If you cant engage in civil discussion, then go somewhere else. It's very clear what the majority of readers on this want.


Phyllis, 7 should work fine. If I'm not home, Allen will be, although he might be a little slow to answer the door. I'm so nervous about his hip, I wish he would go see a doctor already, but you know how stubborn he can be.

Nick, keep up the articles. This is better than my morning newspaper!
