Vicki Lawrence shares memories of working with her friend Betty White and reveals what she says was her final word
Below, she remembers White, shares sweet stories of their friendship and reminisces about White’s marriage to the late Allen Ludden, who died in 1981.when she was a guest on the show. I don’t remember the first meeting. But I remember how she would talk about starting out in television. I remember talking to her one time and saying, “When I was a little girl, I used to watch Al Jarvis [one of the hosts of] all the time. And she said, “That was me.
When my kids were little, we got a cat and named her Sophie. When we moved down to the beach, a kid on a bike literally ran over her and broke her front legs and left her in the bushes to die. … The vet splinted its legs, and when it got in and out of its litter box, it looked like Frankenstein. After eight weeks, the vet told us that the bones were not touching, so it would be best to put the cat down. The kids were so upset their fingernails were digging into my arms.
It’s nice to know that someone who appears to be such a good person really was that way in real life. I was fortunate to work with the most spectacular ladies in the world. Betty was a very special lady. Somebody sent me a clip last night saying, “Thehad a better sex life than any of us” and it’s the funniest conglomeration of clips from that show. Al and I were watching them and laughing out loud, and thought, This is exactly what she would want us to do. She would want us to laugh and remember and love and enjoy and believe that she’s in heaven with Allen.
