Betty White spent decades entertaining audiences, but the surprise success of her Super Bowl Snickers commercial reignited her career in a big way. White's career began in the late '40s, starting with radio jobs before fronting her own sitcoms with Life With Elizabeth and The Betty White Show.
She later became a staple of classic game shows such as Password or The Hollywood Squares, before joining The Mary Tyler Moore Show during its fourth season. Her character Sue Ann Nivens became an audience favorite, so she was upgraded to a regular cast member from the fifth season onwards.
