Let’s get this out of the way now: “Betty White” will trend on Twitter on the morning of January 17, 2022, but don’t worry, she’s fine. There’s no need to break out the Denzel Washington GIF. That’s her 100th birthday (!), and the Hollywood legend is celebrating it with a film about her incredible life.
Betty White: 100 Years Young — A Birthday Celebration “offers a revealing glimpse into her life—behind-the-scenes on set, working with her office staff, entertaining at home, lending her voice as an animal advocate and, we join her at her actual birthday party, as she celebrates the big day with a star-studded cast of friends that love her,” according to the official description. Guests (who are hopefully making virtual appearances) include Ryan Reynolds, Tina Fey, Robert Redford, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Clint Eastwood.
