Betty White, the actress best known for her roles in The
Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Golden Girls, and for being confused with the little old lady who raps in
The Wedding Singer was honored
yesterday by the Los Angeles Zoo. White, who has served on numerous zoo association and foundation boards, will have
a plaque hung in her honor next to the L.A. zoo's gorilla exhibit.
Her new official title is "Ambassador to the Animals,' but I'd like to see what the precise job description of that position is... sounds like fun. The ceremony was attended by numerous dignitaries including the mayor of Los Angeles. White is currently in her eighth year as a zoo commissioner and plans to continue to "love the animals."

Betty White didn't rap in the Wedding Singer. That is erronious.

I am very glad that Betty White has gotten this award for her hard work and dedication. She is a terriffic lady. I had the honor to meet her due to my daughter-in-laws winning the Lifetime Tv Contest to meet the "Golden Girls". Along with her we also met Bea Arthur and Rue McClanahan. All the ladys were very kind and gracious along with being charming. Betty sure is a great gal, and such a good sport. I was thrilled to have been able to meet her. She has a great love of animals and it was very apparent from talking to her how devoted she is to these projects.
