    I just saw the commercial yesterday on Buzzr. They were going to have an all day marathon, on her birthday, of game show episodes that she appeared in.

    Well this is going in the annals of VERY unfortunate premature headlines.

    People's next issue arriving in mailboxes this weekend:

    She was also the last of the Mary Tyler Moore cast, right? With Cloris, Gavin, Ed, and her leaving us in 2021?

    Betty White was a gloriously talented comedic actress, whose warmth shone through every performance. 

    And of course her menacing performance on B&B was a late in life flash of brilliance:

    She enjoyed an unparalleled television career. To be in her 100th year is an incredible life. May her memory be a blessing.
