For her part, White was pretty quiet on this birthday, probably because she was so busy. And it doesn’t look like she is slowing down anytime soon. In October 2013, Lifetime picked up her canceled NBC show “Betty White’s Off Their Rockers.”
Betty White, Benjamin Franklin, and I share a birthday today. Two different years, though.

For White — who saw a career resurgence in the 2000s with guest starring roles on TV and a gig hosting “SNL” following a grass-roots campaign — staying busy is probably the best birthday present ever.
“Retirement is not in my vocabulary,” she’s been quoted as saying. “They aren’t going to get rid of me that way.”
