She was the best part of The Proposal.

I made my niece watch this movie with me over the holidays. And then my mom and I introduced her to The Golden Girls, which then caused a digression into the Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Ms. White will definitely be missed.

Betty White was the best part of any show I saw her in.

I remember seeing her on a game show with Allen Ludden. The warmth was real.

Allen Ludden was her great love. She lost him way too early, but their romance was one for the books. (It even has step-children and long-distance courting!).

You probably saw them on Password, but they both made appearances on Match Game too.

Allen died in 1981. She was asked, sometime ago, why she did not remarry. Her response: "Once you've had the best, who needs the rest?"

Asked about her secret to a long, health life (https://people.com/tv/betty-white-reveals-her-secrets-to-long-happy-life-at-100-exclusive/)...

White jokes: "I try to avoid anything green. I think it's working."

I can get behind that.

If you've got the right genes, then it almost doesn't matter what you put into your body.

In all fairness, there's a very good chance the drugs were consumed in some magic combination that caused his body to be somewhat preserved. Plus the alcohol might have picked his entire body and not just a few organs.

(I am kidding. Consuming alcohol and drugs in the same volume as Keith Richards will kill you.)

During World War II, the British expected to have to once again deal with poison gas on the battlefield, so they undertook a top secret project intended to breed a new strain of super-soldier that was impervious to toxins.  The top British scientists of the time were involved, and the effort was on par with America's Manhattan Project.

Most babies produced as a result of the project didn't survive long, but a few did.  One of those babies was Keith Richards. 

The project was eventually shut down due to the fact that the children who survived proved too erratic to make effective soldiers.



Okay, none of that is true... but it oughta be.   :icon_mrgreen:
