These vintage photos of Betty White make for a fun trip down memory lane

If you’re a bit younger, these pictures might be ‘new’ to you -- had you ever seen Betty as a young woman?

Actor Betty White, whose saucy, up-for-anything charm made her a TV mainstay for more than 60 years, would have turned 100 years old on Jan. 17.

She died Dec. 31 at the age of 99.

Her quirky characters over more than a half-century included the oddball Rose Nylund in “The Golden Girls” and the outspoken caretaker on “Hot In Cleveland.” She also drew laughs in “The Proposal” and the horror spoof “Lake Placid.”

White once said her character Sue Ann Nivens in “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” could be “icky-sweet” but was “really a piranha type.” That role brought her two Emmys.

Below are some photos we found in Getty Images, showing White’s storied career.
