Actress Betty White, who managed to become America's "sweet old sweetheart" with a career of over 80 years, winning numerous awards for her television roles, died tonight, three weeks before she turned 100 years old.

Betty White was honored with a Lifetime Achievement award by the Daytime Emmy Awards last night for her career, spanning seven decades.

Hollywood actress Betty White just celebrated her 93rd birthday, and her sitcom colleagues from "Hot In Cleveland" made it extra special.
