Everybody loves Betty: the story of Betty White

[post_page_title]Conspiracy over her name[/post_page_title]

Over the years it has been rumored and reported that White’s first name is short for Elizabeth. However, in a release of her autobiography decades later, White confirmed that Betty was, in fact, her given birth name! She went on to explain how her parents didn’t like a lot of the shortenings for the name Elizabeth, so chose for her and simply called her Betty instead. So we can stop with the name calling – Betty White it is!
