70th Emmy Awards: A Celebration for Betty White

96-åriga stjärnan stal show: Att ni står ut med mig!

Humorlegendaren Betty White var med redan på den första galan för 69 år sedan och fick stående ovationer när hon klev upp på scenen i natt.

Den 96-åriga skådespelaren, som framförallt är känd för komediserien The Golden Girls, har nominerats till 24 Emmys och vunnit åtta gånger.

– Det är fantastiskt att jag fortfarande är i branschen. Och att ni fortfarande står ut med mig! Det är helt otroligt, sa hon tårögd.

White skämtade även om sin ikonstatus som ”första kvinnan på tv” och sa att det mer var ett konstaterande än en komplimang.
