NBC’s journalist Michael Okwu made a blunder when reporting Michael Jackson memorial from Forest Lawn Memorial Cemetery for Today Show on Tuesday (July 7) morning. During the live broadcasting, Okwu said if the King of Pop was buried at the cemetery, he would have some “very serious Hollywood company” including actress Betty White (photo below). Host Meredith Vieira promptly corrected what Michael Okwu said by noting him that Betty White is very well and still alive. TMZ pointed out that Okwu probably meant Bette Davis, aka Ruth Elizabeth Davis.
Betty Marion White was born January 17, 1922. White is a five-time Emmy Award-winning actress and former game show and talk show host, with a career spanning over 65 years. Her television roles include Sue Ann Nivens on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Rose Nylund on The Golden Girls. [Wikipedia]
