On Jan. 17, Betty White, legendary actress and the nation’s collective Nana, turned 95.
Due to the Golden Girl’s milestone birthday, her name began to trend on Twitter — and of course people thought it was because the worst had happened.

Betty White turns 95 today. Think about it, when she was growing up there was no TV, no microwave, and people still used MySpace. @absrdNEWS

Betty White is 95 today, which means she's old enough to remember the last time a Republican came to power by winning the popular vote.

Betty White is 95 today. She's lived to see two great depressions when you include the mental one we are about to enter.

Not surprising that it's Betty White's birthday the same day as Ben Franklin since they were born at the same time.
