Betty explained: ‘I got it from my mom, and that never changed. I always find the positive.’
Many of White’s A-list co-stars were interviewed for the feature cover story including a few from her 2009 flick The Proposal.
Sandra Bullock gushed over the actress as she said: ‘Timing isn’t easy in comedy, because you have to navigate other people’s timing. Betty pivots like I have never seen, making it look seamless.
‘The rest of us just remain silent and pray we’re not cut out of the scene.’

The 57-year-old actress sent her best wishes to the star ahead of her milestone birthday as she said that she hopes White embraces her birthday ‘the same way she has celebrated every day of her life with humor, kindness and a vodka on ice, toasting to the fact that she’s a badass who has left us all in the dust.’
Ryan Reynolds said that he has been a fan of the star ‘for as long as I can remember.’
The 45-year-old actor explained: ‘I heard that scripts for Golden Girls were only 35 pages, which makes sense because so many of the laughs come from Betty simply looking at her castmates.’
Betty has spent eight decades working in television and has racked up the longest career in the history of the medium.
Although she has been on a slew of hit programs including The Mary Tyler Moore Show she is most beloved for The Golden Girls.

Another legend in comedy Carol Burnett praised White for her ability to make everyone laugh during appearances on The Carol Burnett Show which aired from 1967 to 1978.
The 88-year-old trailblazer said: ‘She’d come on my show, [The Carol Burnett Show], and if there was a tinge of risqué humor in one of our sketches, she’d roll with it and make it even funnier and add a little wink to show that she was thinking of something sexy.
‘She’s not a stand-up. She’s not a jokester. It’s the way she can twist a line to get a laugh.’
White has also had many historic milestones throughout her storied career like being the first woman to produce a national TV program.
She will have her upcoming 100th birthday filmed for documentary Betty White: 100 Years Young – A Birthday Celebration.
