Betty White turned 93 years old yesterday and rather than cake and punch, her Hot in Cleveland family decided to give her something a bit more menehune (that means a mythical Hawaiian elf creature; I couldn’t find the word for “festive”).
White was being escorted to the set when she was stopped by a single hula-ing woman. Then, the whole cast and crew got involved (with a ribbon dancer!) and provided her with a proper Hawaiian flash mob . Co-stars Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves and Wendy Malick even joined in toward the end.
It may be questionable to surprise someone of 93 years like that (White herself says “At 93, you shouldn’t be doing this!”) but the icon was obviously touched by the dance-filled display. They also celebrated with a Hawaiian cake because old people love Hawaii. My grandpa is 93, too, and he calls his deck his “lanai.”
There are people who are “over” Betty White, or don’t get the hype. Well, Betty has just one thing to say to that.
Happy birthday, Betty!
