Everyone’s favourite ‘Golden Girl’ passed away in her sleep at her home in Southern California, just 17 days shy of what would’ve been her 100th birthday – 17 January 2022.

White’s career spanned a whopping eight decades, having starred in The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Golden Girls (among many others).

Those two hit sitcoms made the comic not only a household name, but also a national treasure.

One of her most recent projects was Hot In Cleveland, another sitcom which she worked on until age 92, when it was cancelled after five seasons.

White had no children and was married three times, first to Dick Barker, a US Army Forces pilot, Hollywood agent Lane Allen then TV host Allen Ludden.
