What's not to like about Betty White? NBC's Saturday Night Live had its highest ratings in two years thanks to a Facebook petition started by someone who wasn't even born when she was playing the hilarious "Happy Homemaker" Sue Ann Nivens on the Mary Tyler Moore Show in the seventies. I read one criticism that the SNL writers didn't seem to know what to do with her beyond the obvious humor over her age, but it didn't matter to me. She is still a riot. Her appearance in a Snickers commercial during the Super Bowl reminded everyone that she's still at the top of her game. At 88 (and a half), Betty White has still got it. While on the subject of aging gracefully, we note the passing Sunday of singer Lena Horne at 92. With her talent and beauty, she too fought aging every step of the way.
