Whenever Betty White stepped in front of a camera, there was a solid chance a memorable scene was about to take place.

Fun Fact: she once appeared in 3 soap operas in the same week as part of a NBC contest! One day I had an old 70's Match Game rerun on where Betty was a contestant. #1 was a trick question that was unfairly placed as the first one out of the gate! I got #1 wrong. [Oldest](#!) [Newest](#!)

Today the Weyburn Humane Society is hosting the Betty White Challenge. A longtime advocate for animals, today would have been Betty White's 101 birthday.

Including the films of Clint Eastwood, Sydney Pollack, Robert Benton and Frank Capra, here are the five favourite movies of acting icon Betty White.

The film strays from the other selections on the list in that it is a legal drama rather than a romantic one, although, like The Bridges of Madison County, it also features Meryl Streep. Indeed, it appears that White is a romance nut, which makes her next choice make even more sense: Clint Eastwood’s 1995 film The Bridges of Madison County, which details an intense love affair between a young photojournalist and an Italian war bride. Discussing the film’s impact on her life, White said: “I was 14, and I was so in love with Nelson Eddy I thought it was the end of the world, and I didn’t just like Jeanette MacDonald, I was Jeanette MacDonald! The music – I think it’s the most evocative score in the world; it’s just so beautiful.” White was celebrated as one of the first women to have a significant role both in front of and behind the camera. I wasn’t even interested in show business until then; I did school plays and that kind of thing, but I hadn’t thought of it as a career until I got hooked.”
