Gotta Watch: Betty White is still raunchy at 90

Actress Betty White turns 90 today, and she’s not slowing down any time soon. The former “Golden Girls” star returned to the public eye after a spot in a Snickers commercial that aired during the 2010 Super Bowl. She followed that up with book deals and a gig as the guest host of “Saturday Night Live.” Now we’re showcasing our favorite moments. You’ve Gotta Watch these bawdy Betty moments.

Sex symbol — Betty White answers viewer questions with Larry King in this clip. She takes on everything from Sarah Palin to “Dancing with the Stars.” Watch Larry King ask her if she was a “loose woman.”

'SNL' star — Betty’s turn as host of “Saturday Night Live” earned her an Emmy, and it’s not hard to see why. She agreed to appear on an episode after fans started a Facebook campaign calling for her to host. The ratings went through the roof that night. Watch some of the best parts.

White hot — Betty sits down with CNN to talk about her rise in popularity. She did the Snickers commercial because “Snickers and a bunch of guys on a football field” sounded fun. She also talks about “SNL” and “Golden Girls.” You can also hear from an ad exec about producing that famous commercial here.

In case that's not enough Betty White for you, check out this Funny or Die clip with Kristen Bell and Sigourney Weaver.

    What I love about this lady is that she has aged naturally.. Maybe a few tweaks here and there I would assume.. And I think that her natural look, is a lot of what draws people to her..
    It is pleasant and very attractive when a woman matures and takes on the beauty that there is in being an older person..
    I often think of what kids now have for role models, what they see as old being.. Instead of a natural elderly pleasant looking person.. They have a grotesque caricature resembling nothing natural or even pleasant to show them what aging looks like.
    Betty white is old.. And she looks old.. But dam she looks gorgeous.. She looks like Betty White.. Older.. But so good to look at..

    I'm disappointed that she would do a commercial for Mars which does cruel testing on animals.

      Your facts seems to come from the STAR and ENQUIRE. I would look for different reading material.

    She is one of the few female celebrities who is still beautiful as she ages.

    Happy Birthday Betty.

    And I have a feeling that you'll pass both Bob Hope and George Burns.
