TV Show Host
In the late 30s, she started at the Bliss Hayden Little Theatre but later put her acting career on hold to volunteer for the American Women’s Voluntary Services during World War II. After the war, she was turned down several times for being “unphotogenic,” which led her to act in radio shows and commercials before hosting Hollywood on Television with Al Jarvis.
She later starred in the first of her numerous TV sitcoms, Life with Elizabeth, which was nationally syndicated from 1952 to 1955. In 1954, she hosted and produced her own daily variety talk show, The Betty White Show, on NBC, where she prominently featured an African-American performer, Arthur Duncan.
In the 60s, she turned her focus to game shows, including Password (hosted by her husband Allen Ludden) and ‘What’s My Line?’ ‘To Tell the Truth’ and more. She made her feature film debut in the 1962 drama, Advise & Consent. Furthermore, fans loved her role as Kansas Senator Elizabeth Ames Adams.
