One of show businesses' most prominent faces, Betty White of "The Golden Girls" has passed away. She was 99 years old. She was supposed to celebrate her 100th birthday on January 17.
According to a report in Variety, there was a death investigation in Los Angeles around Friday morning, December 31 at 9:30 a.m. The Los Angeles Police Department reported that White died the night before in her home.
“Even though Betty was about to be 100, I thought she would live forever," White's agent Jeff Witias tells Variety. "I will miss her terribly and so will the animal world that she loved so much. I don’t think Betty ever feared passing because she always wanted to be with her most beloved husband Allen Ludden. She believed she would be with him again."
