Betty White is considered a trailblazer in media, having the longest-running career for any woman in TV prior to her death.
She’s been starring in movies and tv shows for the past 8 decades, starting way back in 1939. Betty was known in the Disney community for her work in films such as Hercules and Toy Story 4, just to name a couple.
