It's funny, when I was 8 I used to watch Golden Girls with my abuelita, and one day I pointed to Betty White and said "She reminds me of you."
She was NOT happy, lol.
Not that I don't love my abuelita, but Betty White is the coolest senior I know, period.
I believe that it is really tacky to throw your own birthday party. I also believe that if she were really as cool as most people think she is someone would have thrown the party for her.
I like Phyllis Diller too, but I like Betty more. Maybe it's b/c I see her more. The show "Hot in Cleveland" is very funny. She is the perfect ditz.
I agree it is tacky for someone to throw their own birthday party but only if it is a commoner b/c to me, it sounds like they are just trying to get gifts. Stars often throw their own parties and I think it is ok b/c they have enough money to buy whatever they want and it isnt about the gifts that they get, but more about having fun with friends (other stars) who you probably wouldnt see all together at any one given time.
Phyllis is beautiful and looking at your pic you posted, she kind of reminds me of Glenn Close when she was Cruella Deville. I think it's probably her hair. :o)
Point taken: Plus at 90 what could you possibly need in forms of gifts when you have the money to get all that you desire. I like Phylis Diller because she was like the original mad female comic. Without her they may have not been others that followed. Women have had it tough in all types of careers and I'm sure that being a comedian is no exception.
Is Phyllis still living? I think the last thing I saw (heard) her in was the animated movied "Bugs Life". She was the voice of the queen ant and carried around a little bug that was supposed to be her "lap dog". I love the quality to her voice, you hear that voice and you just know it's her. I remember her doing something with Bob Hope on TV when I was a little girl but cant remember what. An awards ceremony or entertaining soldiers perhaps? She was funny. I think I just have this thing for Betty b/c in alot of ways, she reminds me of my grandma. She's a spitfire!

In the past, I would have given it to Bob Hope, Johnny Carson, Ronald Reagan, or maybe Mae West.
And NO, Billy Crystal is NOT senior, nor is Ellen. Sheesh.
And YES, Betty was young once. Take a look:
Phyllis Diller has her beat hands down!!!!
