Last week, veteran actress Betty White took the stage at the The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards to accept the Lifetime Achievement Award.
You can watch the 3-minute video here below of White’s acceptance speech — and I highly suggest you do.
I’ve tagged this post as “humor” — because trust me, White is a riot and you’ll laugh because she’s genuinely funny (not because she’s a ‘sweet old lady.’) But, I have to warn you — as funny as it is, is how endearing it was as well. I found myself getting quite teary-eyed when the 88-year-old Golden Girls actress talked about how she still had many more years left in her professional career and what getting this award meant to her.
The award was presented to White by her Proposal co-star Sandra Bullock (you’ll also find out what White thinks of Bullock, who controversially just won the Golden Globe award for Best Actress in a Drama for her role in The Blind Side).
Betty White is the only female comedian I have ever heard who can pull off such lewd humor with such grace. She has the charm of any leading man and twice the personality. One of the funniest people on the planet. Love her to death!
