    Betty White must have been born under a star. Universally loved, wished a happy future (59 years of it from when this show first aired), well deserved. Was with Ludden 3 days shy of 18 years, and just days before turning 100 the world thinks she left us too soon. Irreplaceable beautiful soul.

      Truck Taxi, John Daly was apparently born in South Africa. I need to find out how long he was there. I tend to morph into accents, too, when with someone with an accent. I grew up in South Africa (as an American) until I was 16, but lost any South African accent I ever had. I don’t think it ever was a true South African accent, though, because in South Africa, they thought I had an American accent. But in the U. S. they thought I had a South African accent!

      @@VickyRBenson John was born in South Africa to an American father and a British mother. He had a Scottish nanny as a small boy. His father died when he was 9 and when he was 10 his mother moved to New England and enrolled her sons in Tilton School in New Hampshire. He attended Boston College until he had to drop out due to finances during the depression. John also had a strong Irish heritage. So his accent was actually British-South African-Scottish-New England. He once said “I have a quaint illusion that I don’t sound funny”.

    New Years Eve 2021 is ending just as awfully as it began. The world is heartbroken by the news of Betty White's passing. She was just days away from her 100th birthday. Betty made this often cruel world, easier to bear. She's a legend, an icon, animal rights activist & one of the most magnificently funny human beings. We believed you would live on forever. Always Golden, often Platinum.

She probably didn't want to go through another divorce. But in the long run, she ended up marrying him. And they stayed together for 18 years before he died of cancer in 1981.

    The 93-year-old actress told Oprah that if she could do anything differently in life, she would have married her husband Allen Ludden sooner. White said she put Allen off for a year before finally giving in, marrying him in 1963.
    When Oprah asked White if she had “any big regrets,” White responded: “That I spent a whole year, wasted a whole year, that Allen and I could have had together, saying no, I wouldn’t marry him. No, I won’t. No, I won’t leave California. No, I won’t move to New York. I wasted a whole year we could have had together. But we made it. We finally did.”
    Oddly enough, Betty White’s biggest regret had nothing to do with her first two failed marriages. She married U.S. Army pilot Dick Barker in 1945 and Hollywood agent Lane Allen in 1947, but White said they were just not right for her.
    “I had lovely relationships, but not anything in the league of Allen,” she told the Mail Online last year.
    Betty White met Allen Ludden when she appeared on his game show, and they dated for two years before White finally accepted his proposal.
    They remained together until Allen’s death in 1981.
    Betty White would never marry again, saying that no other man could compare to Allen.

      No. They were OF their time. Likely born in the 20s, came of age during the want of the dirty 30s (when most had to roll up their sleeves and do any job that they could find just to eat) and then likely worked at traditionally male-dominated jobs during WW2. The 50s were full of these fabulous, smart and self-sufficient ladies but today, we constantly have Marilyn Monroe shoved in our faces - we don't see the full picture. Ironically, it was during the 60s that women were depicted as weak and silly (when feminism was making its big comeback), not the 50s.

There was a salon where models would show the new dresses to customers as they sat and sipped coffee. I was a quiet child, so I was allowed to be there and it's such a fun memory!

    With Allan Ludden and Betty White, It’s a shame they were only married 18 years until he passed away in 1981. That marriage was his second, her third. Given that she had two marriages before him, it is rather a tribute to him that he died in 1981 and she has not married since. I hope she makes it to at least January 2022 to celebrate her 100 birthday.

      Allen Ludden was diagnosed with stomach cancer back in 1980. He took a month off from hosting Password Plus to get both chemotherapy and radiation treatment, and Bill Cullen filled in for him. Allen Ludden then came back to the show. However, a few months later, his cancer came back. He was just sick to continue hosting Password Plus. Therefore, Tom Kennedy took his place for the remainder show; which ended in March of 1982.
      Allen Ludden died of cancer in Los Angeles on June 9. 1981; the same day that Natalie Portman was born. He was only 63 when he died.

    Wow! Bobby Moore before he became a huge soccer hero in 1966 as captain of the England team that won the World Cup by beating Germany. Martin Gabel asked about 'rugger soccer' but John Daly was right to correct him: rugby or rugger is played by handling or kicking the ball while soccer or football is played with feet, body or head. The word 'soccer' comes from Association Football but in England we just say 'football' because American football is played here but by a devoted minority.

    The BEST couple. ❤️ Betty is still working, still helping with animal conservation, still playing cards, still loving her pets. Allen got his wings 39 years ago today, and he’s surely smiling down on her. Fantastic people, both of them.

      @@colleen4ever they’re together. According to her personal assistant, who was at her side, Betty’s last word was “Allen.” She already knew he was waiting for her as she transitioned. ❤️

    Allen was so handsome & Betty so pretty. They were so happy. His early death was tragic.

      :( I just cannot BELIEVE all these comments I'm reading! I love Betty White. I think she's been on every game show known to man, and it ALWAYS makes the game show better when she's on. But not one person here (from what I've been reading) is even REMOTELY concerned with her soul!
      As great as she is, unless she repents, she's going to hell. She is 98 years old! She need PRAYER more than she needs Praise!! (I remember praying for her and Bob Barker Both a couple years back. Guess it's time to start up again)

    I love how they guess a "lady osteopath" or a "lady masseur" instead of just an osteopath or masseuse.

    Betty White was such a beautiful woman. No wonder Allen fell head over heels for her. Why does Martin Gabel seem like he is so dry with no sense of humor?

      Martin was definitely NOT "dry with no sense of humor".
