Loved by millions as “America’s sweetheart,” Emmy Award-winning actress and comedian Betty White passed away at the age of 99 on December 31, 2021. Best known for her iconic TV roles in “Golden Girls” and “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” White solidified her place in the hearts of generations not only with her disarming, dimpled smile and perpetually peppy sense of humor, but also with her lifelong activism and commitment to social justice. Whenever faced with a challenge throughout her career, she held her integrity high and stood up for what she believed in. “You don’t luck into integrity,” she once said. “You work at it.” White continued to work well into her 90s, learning, performing, and thriving as a trailblazing icon, a golden girl who aged without apology both on and off the screen. She passed away just a few weeks shy of her 100th birthday, leaving behind her a life well-lived and a legacy of integrity.
