Before Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Ellen DeGeneres, Betty White was the Queen of Comedy - pioneering her way from the radio airwaves to quiz shows and sitcoms.
She made a name for herself on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "Golden Girls." In the past few years, White has made a huge TV comeback with cameos on "Community" and "The Middle" before shattering ratings on "Saturday Night Live."
Today, our favorite "Golden Girl" turns 92, and she's still a powerhouse in Hollywood.
Her TV Land show "Hot in Cleveland" will start its fifth season in March. And despite her NBC comedy show "Off Their Rockers" getting axed last year, Lifetime will bring back the series this year for a 20-episode season.
