Many consider Sue Ann Nivens to be Betty White’s breakout role. She was a major character on the sitcom, which ran from 1970 to 1977. Both Betty and The Mary Tyler Moore Show remain fan favorites to this day!

2. Mrs. Delores Bickerman – ‘Lake Placid’

Betty was never the type of actress to appear in a horror film. Her TV and film resume is basically horror-free, with the exception of Lake Placid that came out in 1999. It was a satirical horror film about the fear of man-eating crocodiles. Can you believe she appears in a film like this!?

3. Bea Sigurdson – ‘That ’70s Show’

That ’70s Show is one of those shows that really never loses its touch. It was a fan favorite then and still is. So, it makes sense that Betty would star as Bea Sigurdson in the series.

4. Rose Nylund – ‘The Golden Girls’

This is probably Betty’s most iconic role to date. Everyone knows her from The Golden Girls! Without Betty in the show, it wouldn’t have been nearly as timeless of a show as we know it to be.

Speaking of that show, there are now Golden Girls action figures available! Find out how you can get one here! 😄
