Betty White, Actress: The Proposal. Betty White was born in Oak Park, Illinois, to Christine Tess (Cachikis), a homemaker, and Horace Logan White, a lighting company executive for the Crouse-Hinds Electric Company. She is of Danish, Greek, English, and Welsh descent. Although best known as the devious Sue Ann Nivens on the classic sitcom The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970) and the ditzy…

Singer and performer Eddie Fisher wed actress Debbie Reynolds in Grossinger, New York, in 1955. Their close friends and couple, Elizabeth Taylor and Mike Todd, had the roles of best man and matron of honor. However, controversy struck when Todd tragically died in a plane crash in 1958 and Fisher and Taylor began to have an affair.
