TV legend Betty White—who starred in The Golden Girls, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Hot in Cleveland and dozens (if not hundreds) of other film and television projects over the past 70 decades—has died at 99, just weeks before her 100th birthday.

“Even though Betty was about to be 100, I thought she would live forever,” White’s agent Jeff Witjas told People on Friday.  

While best known for roles like The Golden Girls’ Rose Nylund and The Mary Tyler Moore Show’s man-hungry Sue Ann Nivens, White also appeared in several memorable ads during her career.

“Well, I’ve been in this business for 63 years,” White told Adweek in 2012.
