Upon accepting her SAG Life Achievement Award, The Golden Girls star Betty White expressed her amazement at "how far a girl as plain as she is can go."
The She in question was Sandra Bullock, who introduced the award, saying that most people love Betty White, but She finds White, her The Proposal fellow player, "annoying" because the 88-year-old veteran makes her feel like "a slacker."
White's acceptance speech, though at times she seemed to be reading cue cards a little too carefully, was peppered with funny moments. In addition to the Bullock joke, White explained she was still starstruck after all these years, going on to talk about the number of famous faces in the crowd. She then casually added, "and I worked with quite a few [of you] … maybe had a couple." Laughter. Long pause. "And you know who you are."
White wrapped up his speech saying "I was only 88 last Sunday, so I've got lots of stuff to do," and "This is the highest point of my entire professional life."
