.....has been a favorite of mine ever since she played The Happy Homemaker, Sue Ann Nivens, on The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
Syrupy sweet and proper as a TV cooking show hostess, she was a sexual predator, especially desirous of newsroom boss Lou Grant; when off the air, in that juicy role, she was one of TV's first cougars.
I dug it.
She married Password host Allan Ludden and once said the reason he always had such a big grin on his face, while on the air doing that popular game show, was because she was crouched beneath his moderator's desk entertaining him during the telecast.
She may not have been kidding.
I enjoy her shockingly tasteful and always inspiring sexuality, even when she still displays it at her advancing age.
And I remember pointing out to my lovely wife how that was a desirable attribute, when we would watch Mary Tyler Moore together while dating back in the sixties.
Happily she took my hint to heart.
Good times.
I hope they ask Betty to be on "Dancing With The Stars," even if she can't move any better than Cloris Leachman or Buzz Aldrin did, so we can hear some more of her saucy, mischevious comments.
