Betty
just doesn’t slow down! The well loved star, who turned 94 on Jan. 17, has had
one amazing year. From an appearance on SNL to
posting her first Instagram, 93 certainly treated Betty well! Celebrate
her big day with us and take a look at all that’s happened in the past year!
Betty started off the year strong with an
emotional win at
the People’s Choice Awards in January 2015 when she received a standing
ovation along with the award for Favorite TV Icon. In her acceptance
speech, she said she was shocked to still be winning awards after so many
decades in the biz — come on Betty, don’t sell yourself short! “Thank you with
all my heart,” the Golden Girls alum said. No Betty, thank YOU!
After
Betty was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Daytime Emmys in
April, she got emotional once again. “So much thanks to you and your mothers
and fathers and grandmothers and grandfathers,” she said in her acceptance
speech with a wink. After over 70 years as an actress, Betty’s two major awards
this past year were completely well deserved! You go Betty!
But
Betty’s year didn’t stop there, oh no! She was the envy of women everywhere
when she passionately locked lips with none other than Bradley Cooper during Saturday Night Live‘s
40th Anniversary Special in February. She really stole the show as her entrance
into “The Californians” sketch earned some of the loudest cheers of the night!
When the
comedian finally
joined Instagram in
June, she gave us everything we never knew we needed! Her first pic? A shot of
her sharing a bottle of wine with her Hot in
Clevelandco-stars of six years. She even used the hashtag,
“HOTFinale” in her caption. What a natural-born pro!
Faux
tragedy struck in September when word spread that the very-much alive actress
was actually…dead!? The world freaked out, but thankfully Betty took to Insta
and proved to the world that no, she was in fact not dead. Phew! Her
photographic evidence was
taken on the set of Bones, when Betty
guest starred in an October episode, which of course she slayed.
Here’s
to another year older, Betty! We wish you the best!
