Sir, – Betty White showed us that age does not mean you can't keep participating ("Golden Girls star Betty White dies aged 99", Culture, December 31st).
She had such a long roster of films and television performances but one I enjoyed was her time on the soap opera Bold and Beautiful at the relatively young age of about 87. This show had no aversion to older actors, with Phyllis Diller appearing at 95.
Life has become complicated, concerning, and frustrating over the last few years, but we should look to the examples from Betty White on how to live life to the full. – Yours, etc,
