As they say, the show must go on!
And I’m sure that is something Betty White said many times during her life, and career, so it’s only fitting that the show dedicated to her life will go on, despite her passing.
Betty’s life will be featured in a movie which was supposed to celebrate her 100th birthday on January 17. The flick was scheduled to play in movie theaters for just that one night. It will proceed as planned — so producers told the New York Post — and it’s a real good bet theaters will be packed to capacity.
The title of the project will be different now, though, and will be called “Betty White: A Celebration.”
The production team behind the project released a statement that said, “During the many years we worked with her, we developed a great love and admiration for Betty as a person, and as an accomplished entertainer. … We will go forward with our plans to show the film … in hopes our film will provide a way for all who loved her to celebrate her life — and experience what made her such a national treasure.”
Special guests include Ryan Reynolds, Tina Fey, Robert Redford, Lin Manuel- Miranda, Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Jay Leno, Carol Burnett, Craig Ferguson, Jimmy Kimmel, Valerie Bertinelli, James Corden, Wendy Malick and Jennifer Love Hewitt.
The documentary will be released in limited theaters. Check here for local showings.
