Spade_Cooley 9,538 Posted January 16, 2018 There's a great story from the guy who wrote the definitive Golden Girls biography about when he went to interview Bea Arthur, and she was massively ornery with him because the chat meant she couldn't watch Judge Judy that day. She kept muttering under her breath "I'm missing Judge Judy for this?" 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clorox Bleachman 2,438 Posted June 16, 2018 Betty White is easily one of the most high-profile celebrities on the list, but she's not been seen in public since before her birthday and that's not like her. Her IMDb page doesn't reflect a lot of activity either. It may be that she's just slowing down, or that something bad's happened and we might not see her again (case in point: June Foray). If this continues then it might be cause for concern... 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainChorizo 1,983 Posted June 17, 2018 Since she has worked in the industry nonstop since the 40's I doubt her slowdown is voluntary,and I doubt it's due to lack of offers. At the very least, most interview/game show's in the Usa would give anything to have her as a guest. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ajlposh 548 Posted July 23, 2018 I asked Mark Malkoff, the guy who runs the Carson Podcast, if he considered trying to get her to appear on his podcast. He said that he talked to her rep, but was told that she’s not doing much right now. So I can’t imagine that would really be a good thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Key 747 Posted July 24, 2018 8 hours ago, DeathClock said: Pictures of Betty earlier this month. She was looking like a regular 85 year old there (which is reasonable, considering she's 96) - what could be up with her mouth, a soft stroke maybe? Hopefully it was just some bad photos taken on a bad day. Or maybe she wasn't expecting to be seen (e.g. undone hair, not full make-up). I don't think she'll croak it this year if she's still walking, but maybe next year or the year after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markb4 902 Posted July 29, 2018 According to this magazine article, Betty White isn't ready to retire yet and a documentary about her life is set to premiere on August 21. Yet, the cover of the magazine is titled, "Betty White Saying Goodbye" and how this is her final interview. Gotta love these gossip magazines. https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/betty-white-retired-163684 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have always thought she was Sharp as a tack but there is a clear cognitive decline.She struggles to finish a sentence in that video. I wonder if she has had a mini stroke or a few.
