When I was about 15 suddenly everyone in L.A. County had a TV set for the first time, and Betty White was on it five hours a day. She was local and live. She had a niche to herself, the sparkling, very young woman (surrounded by grave men of middle age). Quite an oddity at the time. No one like her. No women newscasters or on talk shows, for example. This was the era in which a woman could not get a credit card without a man to vouch for her.
Betty White was an instant favorite.
