Robert Redford commented on the death of iconic actress Betty White, who was very public over the years about her crush on him.
The “Golden Girls” and “Mary Tyler Moore” actress died on Friday just weeks before her 100th birthday. As the world mourned the loss, Redford joined the myriad of celebrities who knew and/or respected White speaking out about what her loss meant to them.
In a statement issued to Fox News Digital, Redford said that he admired the way White lived her life by dedicating herself to the things she loved.
“Betty lived life devoted to her craft and her love of animals. She made us all laugh, including me,” he said.
After spending a few weeks together working on a project with their families in tow, Ludden would propose marriage to White rather than say “hello.”
