Betty White has fit a whole lot of life into her 95 years, and she's still going strong. The star is a Hollywood icon, with roles in The Golden Girls and The Mary Tyler Moore Show among her most popular. But of all her successes, the actress credits her marriage to Allen Ludden as her favorite. Betty, who was previously married to Us Army pilot Dick Barker in 1945 and Hollywood agent Lane Allen from 1947 until 1949, met her third husband when she appeared as a guest on his game show, Password, in 1961.

Like many of her fans, Betty White "can't believe" she's celebrating her 95th birthday.
"I keep thinking, 'Betty, you’re 95 years old,'" she told Yahoo's Katie Couric in an interview posted on Tuesday. "I’m so blessed with good health and faculties and I’ve got memories and all that. You can’t really expect that at 95."
White quipped, "I am the luckiest old broad on two feet!"

The Emmy-winning actress offered up advice for living a fulfilled life, telling Couric, "Keep busy and don't focus everything on you."
As for what she would tell her 25-year-old self, White didn't have any specific wisdom to impart. "I've been married three times and I probably still would've been married three times," she said. White married and divorced Dick Barker and Lane Allen in the 1940s, before marrying Allen Ludden in 1963. They were together for 18 years until his death in 1981.
