At 71, Anne Cotheran might not seem to need a role model.
But she was awed by Betty White.
“I’m 71 years old. She’s 88. She’s up there on the stage. This is an inspiration. Amen,” Cotheran said after White’s appearance Sunday at Life: An Expo for Boomers & Seniors.
“I can’t thank you enough,” White told several thousand people at the Chattanooga Convention Center. “I can’t thank everybody enough for an 88-and-a-half-year-old broad to still be doing this.”
White, who’s been a part of television history in every decade since the 1950s, is white-hot again.
