It must be good to be Betty White right now. At 88 years old, the television icon is enjoying a career resurgence and shows no sign of slowing down.
It was announced yesterday that White will co-star in a new TV Land series called “Hot in Cleveland.” The show also stars Valerie Bertinelli, Wendie Malick and Jane Leeves as three Los Angeles women who end up in Cleveland; White plays the caretaker of their house. This announcement comes just a week after White was named the host of upcoming episode of “Saturday Night Live”, a month after she appeared in a hit Super Bowl commercial, a month after White received the Life Achievement Award from the Screen Actors Guild and months after she starred in The Proposal.
Hollywood is an industry that ditches its female stars once they reach a certain age (typically 40) for the next pretty young thing (Hello Miley). Whether you catch her in a “Golden Girls” rerun or appearing on “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson”, Betty White is reminder that talent is talent is no matter an actresses age, and we should embrace Betty while we still can.
