Why do they always forget her performance in "The Mary Tyler Moore Show"? The counterpoint between her Sue Ann and Ms Moore's "Mary" and Cloris Leachman's character is fascinating and funny. She brought so much joy and laughter to so many people over the years. Rest in Peace Ms White.

Never saw one single episode of the GG's, but she was clearly beloved. Indeed, RIP.

No words. Absolutely no words.

My favorite Betty White scene from Golden Girls (and I agree, her work on Mary Tyler Moore should not be forgotten).

I loved Betty in so many different movies and TV shows, not just Golden Girls, though that's where it started. But one of my favorite things watching her on were game shows. By far, one of the best celebrity contestants ever. Password, Pyramid, Match Game, whatever the show, she was exceptional at playing it while still being incredibly witty and endearing.

Matter of fact, I just saw Betty White on an old Match Game re-run. She was there with Richard Dawson, Charles Nelson-Reilly and Gene Rayburn
