Seven times Betty White was living her best life in her 90s

Happy 97th birthday, <a href="https://ca.hellomagazine.com/tags/0/betty-white/"><strong>Betty White</strong></a>! From starring in iconic TV show <em>Golden Girls</em> to cementing herself as a leading animal rights activist, this lady can do no wrong. Maintaining the same energy, pizazz and heart she's had all these years, the actress and comedian has aged like a fine wine, proving that she's truly living her best life in her 90s. <p>When asked for the secret to her longevity in an interview with <a href="https://parade.com/634316/samuelmurrian/betty-white-on-her-legacy-memories-and-her-recipe-for-living-a-long-happy-life/" target="_blank"><em>Parade</em></a> last year, she famously explained: "Enjoy life. Accentuate the positive, not the negative. It sounds so trite, but a lot of people will pick out something to complain about, rather than say, ‘Hey, that was great!’ It’s not hard to find great stuff if you look.” She added that she also loves vodka and hot dogs, “probably in that order.” <p><strong>Click through to see how Betty has made her 90s some of her most memorable years yet...</strong> <p>Photo: &copy; Gabriel Olsen/FilmMagic
