Betty White entered the entertainment industry in the 1930s and nine decades later she was still driving some intense plots before her sudden death on New Year's Eve 2021 at age 99. One of her last was a love triangle starring herself, Ryan Reynolds, and Robert Redford. She and Reynolds starred in The Proposal with Sandra Bullock in 2009 but, according to the Golden Girls star, Reynolds has been lovesick ever since. White would've been 100 years old in January 2022 but her sense of humor was as sharp as ever, as was her readiness to joke with and about her colleagues. Between their own amusement, both Bullock and Reynolds have expressed awe at White's skill and Reynolds has eagerly matched her witty remarks with jokes of his own.

Betty pivots like I have never seen, making it look seamless. The rest of us just remain silent and pray we're not cut out of the scene." Reynolds has no problem singing her praises even after the breakup THE PROPOSAL, Betty White, 2009.
