NEW YORK (AP) – Show-biz sweetheart Betty White is about to get another dose of love, this time from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
The 93-year-old will be honored with this year’s lifetime achievement award next month at the 42nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards.
In the 1960s, White was a frequent contestant on “Password,” where she met and subsequently wed its host, Allen Ludden. She also appeared on “The Match Game” and “The $25,000 Pyramid.”
She was the first woman to receive an Emmy Award for outstanding game show host for the show “Just Men.” And she had a recurring role on “The Bold and the Beautiful” from 2006 to 2009.
Previous honorees include Oprah Winfrey, Barbara Walters and Regis Philbin.
