Seems like she is the only celebrity who said goodbye to the scene and truly checked out. I don’t get people like Betty White who feel the need to work until they drop. Is it so horrible to sit and enjoy a beautiful day or read a good book or spend time with friends and family instead of working? Choose every day to enjoy and appreciate the wonder.

She was always the worst thing about "The View." Shrill, self-important, combative, and overrated. I will say I'm glad she isn't cohosting with me, because my daddy wouldn't like her.

She really over stayed her time on The View, she was unwatchable towards the end, it was cringe worthy.

I'll never forget the pained look on Elizabeth Vargas face when she came on to discuss her recovery from alcoholism and she was saying she kept trying to hide her problem from family/friends/coworkers and Babs kept interrupting her and saying "Oh we all knew", several times she did that, so unnecessary.

For someone like Betty White or Angela Lansbury, who have both been performing for about 80 years, the most fun they can imagine having is getting up in front of an audience or a camera again. I'm sure both have done their share of sitting and enjoying beautiful days. You make "working" sound as though they're out digging ditches. They love what they do.

Barbara continues to live in the same Park Avenue apartment she has owned for the last 4 decades. She suffers from dementia. About a year ago she was dropped off at her hair salon and left on her own and got confused as to where she was on Madison Avenue (not far from her residence). Not sure who it was, but someone helped her figure out to call someone or got her back to the building. No one from the neighborhood sees her out and about anymore. She was very present in the area for decades and now remains inside, presumably things are getting worse.

It's never been confirmed that Barbara has dementia but that has been the rumor for sometime now and been reported by gossip sites like TMZ and Radar. It's likely the truth given she hasn't been seen in public since 2016. Allegedly Babs broke her hip late last year and has since been confined to a wheel chair and no longer recognizes anyone. Shortly after she allegedly broke her hip, most of her remaining staff were let go (which is likely why her twitter account has been updated in over a year) and she has live in care.

I think the common consensus is that Babs in in declining health (likely dementia) and that her days are numbered. I remember back in 2013 when she announced she was retiring, there were rumors that ABC was basically pushing her out the door due to growing concerns over her health. The first major sign that something was wrong was during the following season of The View (the year Rosie returned) all of her appearances were pre-taped and she never appeared on a live episode again. Even her tribute to Nancy Reagan in 2016 (which was her final appearance on The View to date) was pre-taped. Also if she were in good health, there is no way she would have stayed away from The View for so long and she hasn't been seen in public since 2016 so all signs to me she ain't well.

As for Betty White, I also feel Betty isn't long for this world. He disoriented appearance at the Emmy's and her frail sounding voice don't bode well.

For a while she was a pretty good journalist, impressive because she was having success in a man's world. But for me- she became cloying and too much of a star- she courted that. And she was not very nice. Nevertheless I always have sympathy for those who survive into very old age and its humiliations.

I remember once they were revealing the new VIEW mug, which I guess is a thing? Any how they had a cake made of the cup and before they revealed the cake they revealed the cup...and they are all looking at this ceramic mug and Barbara very seriously goes 'IS THAT THE CAKE?" Joy laughs at her and says "no that's the cup" Barbara could have shot lazers out of her eyes at Joy.

To the people saying everyone is being cruel about Baba’s aging, again, to reiterate: SHE DATED ROY COHN. If you cannot understand why this speaks volumes about what type of person she is, then there’s nothing else to say.

She’s a rotten person who, like Trump, muscled her way into society through her position at ABC. She wasn’t one of them, and that’s all she wanted to be. There’s a reason they’re friends.

Trumps $$$ brought his way into the Manhattan scene. He was never apart of society though. Just a New York character.

Barbara on the other hand was genuinely apart of NY society. Wasn't she good friends with Ann Slater? She's now dead though.

Fun fact, Trump always wanted to be an actor. Not a lot of people know that about him. That was his original dream was to be a movie star. But it didn't work out that way.

Old boyfriend of mine had some dealings with Lee Guber in the early 1970s and referred to him as "odious". But, then, ex-boyfriend was a huge anti-semite and he himself was also odious. Fun fact: Barbara majored in French at Sarah Lawrence College, but when she covered the Charles and Diana nuptials she admitted on the air not to be able to read the luncheon menu which was in French.

Just lost my comment. Verizon!

R158 just pegged Barbara for me and for Rosie O'Donnell.

Reminds me of that midget French teacher frustrated actress/performer I started with in 7th grade. This was LI. Your public educators were 80%+ helicopter jewish fraus extraordinaire. Rosie was out a bit east but her schools groomed this dynamic of Walters/O'Donnell power play. Like Madinna, this one lost her mom young as well. So these fraus would swoop in and sometimes try to co-opt us from our own parents. Bombarded and immersed in Jewish culture and the focused attention on us was so intoxicating we went right along. The old red/green xmas decor du jour couldn't hold a shabbat candle to that gorgeous blue/silver dreidel CHANUKAKA banner in the hallway. Plastic dreidels handed out every year to add to your ever growing collection. I'm getting the white dreidel this year!

Anyway, that's who Barbara reminds me of, those fraus. Some great, some bad. Comme çi. So Rosie and Babs were pretty much familiar to me but could never place why.

Wasn’t it she who, in rather mean spirit, nearly outed young comic actors Josh Peck & Drake Bell to their embarrassment? It was the only episode of The View I ever saw in full and it was totally brutal.

This was long ago, I think sometime in 2008-9, but I remember my shock at how blatant she was in her line of questioning. Those poor boys did not know what to do with themselves and just stammered and stared at the floor while she went on. It almost felt like she was firing a warning shot at them so they’d be more discreet, which surprised me as I thought closet arrangements were generally & gently left alone by these types of shows.

That episode of The View has ofc been conveniently scrubbed from the Internet.

Like the blue/silver motif trumps red/green, the holy cross, artistically has nothing on the Star of David ✡. It's a star! Not a torture implement. By 2nd grade, all stars in art work, opted for this ✡unless we were told not to. Not this ⛤.

Walters and Maria Shriver. Invaluable class. Able to spot incompetent and phonies in media before hitting the big 20.

Rosie wasn't as blessed as yours truly here. If I was a woman and went into media in NY I would never be dazzled by Walters. She couldn't play me unlike the less well turned out O'Donnell. I KNOW and have always known I'm cut from a finer cloth than these two haridans.
