As the world collectively celebrates Betty White's 95th birthday, let's take a moment to appreciate some of her most awesome and influential moments of her long life and career.
1. When she became the oldest person to host "Saturday Night Live" in 2010, proving to everyone that age is just a number and she will not be overlooked because of it.
2. When she became one of only two women ever nominated to serve as the honorary mayor of Hollywood in 1955.
3. When she was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Emmy’s in 2015 for her 7 decades of work, making her a 6-time Emmy Award Winner.
4. She’s been around since sliced bread (no, really!) According to the Huffington Post, sliced bread was introduced to the world in 1928, six years after White was born in 1922.
5. She’s so cool she doesn’t even need a nickname because her given name is already one. That’s right, "Betty" is her real name and it isn’t short for Elizabeth. According to Extra TV, her parents didn’t want her to deal with a multitude of nicknames, so they just gave her one.
6. She has always loved animals and has been an activist for them. She has served on the Board of Trustees at the Los Angeles Zoo since 1973, a place she calls her “home away from home.”
7. Staying true to her love for animals, White was a vegetarian for the majority of her life and is now a vegan because she says she could never “see herself eating a best friend."
8. She isn’t trying to fool anyone and has openly admitted to having plastic surgery on her eyelids in 1976.
9. White has been in show business so long that she currently holds the world record for the Longest TV Career for a Female Entertainer in the Guinness Book of World Records.
10. When she proved that age doesn’t hinder one’s ability to be a prankster by launching her own television series called “Betty White’s Off Their Rockers” in which elders play pranks on young people.
