Even though Betty has maintained a very successful career, she has spoken out about ageism in Hollywood. She once said, “Don’t get me started on reality TV because I don’t want to use language I shouldn’t use. I think the problem with sitcom, this whole youth wave that washed over – people say, ‘well they, older actresses can’t, you know, can’t get jobs…’ Well, we get jobs, we work all the time. It’s the writers who have an age block.”
Hopefully, we will learn more about Betty’s new Lifetime movie soon!
