In a previous statement her agent Jeff Witjas said, “Even though Betty was about to be 100, I thought she would live forever. I will miss her terribly and so will the animal world that she loved so much,” he continued. “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.”
Just last month, Betty White: A Celebration producers Steve Boettcher and Mike Trinklein confirmed that the release of the movie would go on as planned.
“During the many years we worked with her, we developed a great love and admiration for Betty as a person, and as an accomplished entertainer. We are thankful for the many decades of delight she brought to everyone. Betty always said she was the “luckiest broad on two feet’ to have had a career as long as she did,” they said in a statement for Fathom. “And honestly, we were the lucky ones to have had her for so long. We will go forward with our plans to show the film on January 17 in hopes our film will provide a way for all who loved her to celebrate her life—and experience what made her such a national treasure.”
Celebrating Betty White: America’s Golden Girl gets going January 31 on NBC and streams February 1 on Peacock.
