Happy birthday, 97 Years Old's Betty White
Happy birthday, Betty White!
The television legend turned 97 years old on Thursday and is planning on celebrating in the best (and classiest!) way ever.
“Betty is feeling great,” a rep for White tells PEOPLE. “She has the absolute best sense of humor.”
White is planning on ringing in the big day with a poker night with close friends whom she’s played with for years. And obviously a birthday wouldn’t be complete without cake! There will be plenty of cake to go around, as well, the rep confirms.

Last September, White took the stage at the 2018 Emmy Awards and reflected on her senior status.
“Somebody said something the other day about first lady of television, and I took it as a big compliment,” she said.
Then came the punchline: “And then I heard her talking to her daughter a little later, and she said, ‘First lady, she’s that old. She was the first one way back.’ “
Betty White reflected on her extraordinary career. “It’s incredible that I’m still in this business and you are still putting up with me … It’s incredible that you can stay in a career this long and still have people put up with you. I wish they did that at home.”
At the age of 90, she told the Vancouver Sun her secret to staying so young. "I'm not only blessed with good health, but good energy," she said. "I can credit my folks for the genes that put that together. I'm not trying to be any younger. I'm not lying about my age. If I were lying about my age, I would say I was 89."
Here are five times the golden girl proved she's still young at heart — even well into her 90s.
1. She retweeted Ryan Reynolds
In May 2018, the Hollywood hunk posted a "Golden Girls" parody video to promote his new film, "Deadpool 2." White, who played Rose Nylund in the classic '80s sitcom, retweeted the viral video, which played the "Golden Girls" theme song over the "Deadpool 2" trailer.

2. She's a social media influencer
For Super Bowl LII, Tide worked with a number of celebrity influencers to promote their brand. White joined Drew Brees, Antonio Brown, Danica Patrick and Isaiah Mustafa in the social media campaign. The star's tweets were in conjunction with TV spots that ran during the big game.
3. She's still cracking jokes
White's work was honored during the 70th Emmy Awards in September 2018. During her speech, the honoree joked about her age. "Somebody said something the other day [about how I'm] the first lady of Television, and I took it as a compliment," White said. "Then I heard her say to her daughter, 'Yeah, first lady – she's that old! She was the first one way, way back.'"
"It's incredible that you can stay in a career this long and still have people put up with you," White said. "I wish they did that at home." She also thanked Lorne Michaels for all the things he had done with her – then corrected herself, "I mean for me!"

4. She "dabs"
When the Carolina Panthers made it to Super Bowl L, White revealed a secret on Twitter — she taught quarterback Cam Newton everything he knows. Newton, who is known for his dancing, often "dabs" — and so does White. She posted a video of herself dabbing on Twitter, claiming she taught Newton the dance move.

It is unclear if White has kept up on dancing trends enough to know how to "floss."
5. She has celebrity crushes
In 2016, White told James Corden who her celebrity crush was. While appearing on "The Late Late Show," White said for her 94th birthday she was "going to celebrate with Robert Redford."
"He doesn't know that, and I think he's out of the country, but I'm going to celebrate with him," White joked.
