Reese Witherspoon also penned a hearfelt tribute as she wrote, "So sad to hear about Betty White passing." However, Betty White left a tremendous legacy as a comedienne, actor, author, animal rights activist, and one of the first female television pioneers. "Even though Betty was about to be 100, I thought she would live forever," her agent and close friend Jeff Witjas said in a statement issued to People. "I will miss her terribly and so will the animal world that she loved so much. I don't think Betty ever feared passing because she always wanted to be with her most beloved husband Allen Ludden. She believed she would be with him again."
White, who had no children, was known for advocating for animal rights. She once turned down a role in the film 'As Good as It Gets' because of a scene in which a puppy was thrown down a garbage chute.
