Betty White turns 99, revealing birthday wishes and thoughts to many of her fans after a long career



Veteran actress Betty White is celebrating her 99th birthday on Sunday and she looks forward to letting many of her fans come to the celebration.

Jeff Witzas, a longtime friend and agent of the five-time Emmy-winner, told Fox News that although she is happy to mark her last birthday in double digits, she is playing safe due to the coronavirus epidemic.

“Betty planned to run a few miles for her birthday, but Kovid has canceled this so she can be safe at her home by doing various activities.”

She noted that she “loves her fans” and never takes anything from them. When it came time for White to blow out the candles, his representative explained that his wish was quite simple.

Amid the cotivirus epidemic, 98, White says she has been blessed with very good health.
