Producer Steve Boettcher told ET on Monday: ‘She did it 10 days before she passed away. She looked amazing, she loved getting “glammed up,” as she calls it, in her hair, makeup, she was just striking and beautiful. She was smiling and really she wanted to thank her fans sincerely, from the bottom of her heart, for all the support over the years’

‘She always made the point that if you look at those negatives, you spoil all the good stuff’: In the clip, the blonde funnywoman said she hoped to be remembered as a ‘cock-eyed optimist’ like her late mother, Tess Curtis White (R)

‘It’s kind of a shout-out to her fans that she did 10 days before she passed away,’ producer Steve Boettcher told ET on Monday.

‘She looked amazing, she loved getting “glammed up,” as she calls it, in her hair, makeup, she was just striking and beautiful. She was smiling and really she wanted to thank her fans sincerely, from the bottom of her heart, for all the support over the years.’

In the clip, the blonde funnywoman said she hoped to be remembered as a ‘cock-eyed optimist’ like her late mother, Tess Curtis White.

‘She always made the point that if you look at those negatives, you spoil all the good stuff, and it goes by and it’s gone and you haven’t tasted it,’ Betty said. 

Pioneer: Betty – last publicly seen January 16, 2020 – often joked she started out in ‘silent television’ having made her first appearance on the small screen in 1939 (pictured in 1954)

Dipped: Throughout her impressive 80-year career, White played memorable regular roles in CBS’ The Mary Tyler Moore Show, NBC’s The Golden Girls (pictured in 1987), and TV Land’s Hot in Cleveland

‘And I really believe in that philosophy. If you don’t at least notice it and accentuate the good stuff, when the bad, really tragic stuff comes along it makes it tough to handle. When you find something let’s say funny or enjoyable, the whole body has a different attitude, it relaxes.

‘And that’s gotta be healthy to have that aspect as opposed to the tension and the worry. I think optimism has a lot to do with it. And I learned that at my mom’s knee, and my dad’s.’
