Nationally adored actress Betty White, who is best known for her role as Rose Nylund on “Golden Girls,” will turn 96 on January 17th. Not only has she won 5 Primetime Emmy Awards, she has had the longest career as a female entertainer in television history. Her talent, success, and jovial personality have made her an American icon. And it turns out White has a secret to her success and longevity: vodka and hot dogs.
White revealed some advice for living a long, healthy, and successful life in an interview with Parade Magazine. “Enjoy Life. Accentuate the positive, not the negative,” White told Parade. “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.”
While White asserts that her optimistic attitude and bubbly personality have contributed to her longevity and success, she also gives credit to vodka and hot dogs. She told Parade that she loves consuming both “probably in that order.” Comments like this are just a part of what makes White the spunky, witty actress America reveres.
