[@kokoken1]

No one can touch Betty in playing "Password." She was once asked why this version was canceled so soon, and her answer was that Americans don't read anymore. They don't know the language anymore, so how can they love a show that -- even indirectly -- points out their educational shortcomings? She was so right!

[@HighwayLand]

Our educational shortcomings are probably 20 times worse than 10 years ago, and it's going to be 100 times worse 10 years from now.

[@kokoken1]

[@Cathy7167]

She definitely was not a bimbo! She was fantastic, kind and lovely 🥰

[@johnaddeo2251]

Adam Huber - Even more amazing than living 99 years, is how sharp she was at 87 and continued to be until her passing. She’s playing a fast-paced, word association game with a million dollars on the line and she’s as sharp as anyone 60 years younger than her. Regis, who was probably north of 80 himself, was also remarkable hosting a show that most people his age would be hard-pressed to even sit in the audience. RIP beautiful Betty and rockin’ Regis.
