Announcing the cover she wrote:
“My 100th birthday…I cannot believe it is coming up, and People Magazine is celebrating with me! The new issue of @people is available on newsstands and nationwide tomorrow.”
With over 80 years in the entertainment industry, Betty White starred on a host of popular TV shows, such as “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “Mama’s Family” and “Hot In Cleveland.”
