I love Betty White and have since the days of Golden Girls, which I still watch regularly. I was so pleased to see her make a comeback this year, she's hilarious and a nice change from what's become the norm. Great lens!

Oh absolutely, I heard someone say, "Betty White is the new Brad Bitt." But what I really admire about her is her love of animals. In fact, she has refused to do any acting which involved cruelty (or somehow was abusive) towards animals. Her comedic timing is priceless and she doesn't need to swear to be funny. Great lens, lensrolling this to my Make me Funny one. Sincerely, Rose
