1.25.10 - BETTY WHITE
|
BETTY WHITE received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Screen Actors Guild on Saturday night. Her acceptance speech, at the age of 88, demonstrated the amazing talents this woman still possess. From her skills as a game show contestant-she was on PASSWORD, with future husband ALAN LUDIN in it's first weeks way back in 1961-to her wide range of comedic skills-from SUE ANN NIVENS on THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW to ROSE NYLAUND on THE GOLDEN GIRLS to DELORES BICKERMAN in LAKE PLACID and CATHERINE PIPER on BOSTON LEGAL-BETTY WHITE has been entertaining audiences her whole life. And she did it again, on stage, before an impressive array of her colleagues at the 16th SCREEN ACTORS GUILD AWARDS. In case you missed it:
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart. And from the bottom of my bottom, thank you for whatever. Oh my dears, I can’t – and the fact that this lovely lady, she is such a wonderful one, with all the wonderful things that have happened to her, isn’t it heartening to see how far a girl as plain as she is can go. Seventy-one years ago when I sang on an experiment thing and it was called television, who would have dreamed it would culminate in an evening like this?
I should be presenting an award to you for the privilege of working in this wonderful business all this time. And you still can’t get rid of me. I was only 88 last Sunday, so I have lots more stuff to do.
Being in show business is like living in a small town. People greet you like neighbors, not like strangers. And through the mail you form friendships that last for years with people you’ve never even met. I often wonder about people who have some kind of passion. Something that they care so deeply about that it never fails to fascinate them. How lucky can I be to have two such passions: show business and animals. Actually, I may have more than two passions, but that’s none of your business.
I am still to this day star struck. I look out at this audience and I see so many famous faces. But what really boggles my mind is that I actually know many of you. And I’ve worked with quite a few... maybe had a couple. And you know who you are.
Back when I first started, it would never have even occurred to me to imagine such a thing as this moment. And I still can’t believe I’m standing here. This is the highest point of my entire professional life. To the Screen Actors Guild, to each and every one of you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you. "
Thank you, BETTY!
