In the interview, White opened up about her plans for her big day, giving a glimpse into all the fun activities she had set up for her birthday. The award-winning actress noted that initially, she planned to follow her routine run of a mile each morning.

However, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic had put a damp on that plan, so she had other things in mind. She revealed that she would release her weekly show, “The Pet Set,” and feed the two ducks who visit her daily.

“The Pet Set,” which was initially created in 1971, is debuting on digital platforms and DVDs as part of its 50th-anniversary celebration. The show focuses on White’s love for animals as she invites her famous friends along with their pets.

In a recent interview with People Magazine, the eight-time Emmy Award winner shared her tips for staying joyful regardless of what is going on around her. She credited her unique sense of humor for keeping her going for so long.

Born in 1922 in Oak Park, Illinois, White made her break into Hollywood after her dream of being a forest ranger failed because women weren’t allowed to be rangers. She is known for her roles in major television shows like “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”

In March, fans may recall that White trended on Twitter after it was announced that actor Tom Hanks tested positive for COVID-19. Many of her fans worried about how she fared, given that she was high risk.
