Betty White says she is celebrating her 99th birthday in quarantine

Legendary Betty White turns 99 on January 17, and like many others this year, she’s planning a birthday in quarantine.

White recently spoke with “Entertainment Tonight” about how she will spend the start of her senior year as a nonagenarian.

“What am I doing for my birthday?” she said. “Running a mile each morning has been cut down by COVID, so I’m working on getting The Pet Set re-released and feeding the two ducks who come to visit me every day.”

“The Pet Set” was White’s 1970s show in which she featured animals and some of her famous animal-loving friends.

The beloved comedic actress told People magazine that the key to a long life is “having a good sense of humor.”

“You just have to look on the bright side and not dwell on the downsides,” White said. “Takes too much energy being negative. Also having a good agent that keeps me busy all the time.”
