Never heard of her.
Not surprising. She was from before my time, but I knew who she was… if you’ve ever heard the song Stormy Weather, it was probably her singing.
I didn’t know she was still alive.
Teh Jawa, apparently.

I’ll be completely honest here: I have no idea what to feel. Or even if I should have a particular feeling.
Pretty much the same here.
Yeah. I didn’t know him - as much as anyone “knew” him - like some of you, but I did have some interactions with him, mostly around his daughter. Not sure what I feel.
That’s three. Betty White is safe for another day.

If I remember correctly, she was born with a condition that was going to limit her lifespan, so it’s not a surprise that she died young.
