The Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actress, now 96 years old, has starred in some of the most notable television series of all times, including The Mary Tyler Moore Show and of course, The Golden Girls. And now she is about to star in a new documentary to be aired on PBS on August 21, Betty White: First Lady of Television. A few interesting facts about Betty that you may not know: She is a devoted animal enthusiast and she was the first woman to produce a national tv show. It took five years to make this documentary, and no wonder: she’s had a career spanning so many decades and has had so much success that there’s an enormous amount of material to present.
