Betty, who was once told she was not photogenic enough to make it in the world of TV, but soon proved her critics wrong with a long string of high-profile credits, also told the US publication that she’s “a cockeyed optimist” with an ability to “always find the positive”.
A special issue celebrating her has seen some of her co-stars sing her praises.
Her fellow The Proposal actress Sandra Bullock was one of them, revealing of her on-screen style: “Timing isn’t easy in comedy, because you have to navigate other people’s timing [but] Betty pivots like I have never seen, making it look seamless.
“The rest of us just remain silent and pray we’re not cut out of the scene.”
She urged Betty to celebrate turning 100 in “the same way she has celebrated every day of her life – with humour, kindness and a vodka on ice, toasting to the fact that she’s a bada** who has left us all in the dust!”
