Actress Betty White Honored for Humanitarian Efforts

Published on: December 07, 2012

The problem with actress Betty White is that she gives too freely of her time, said one fan attending the December 6 award ceremony for the 90-year young humanitarian who is recognized for her advocacy and contributions on behalf of animals. White’s tireless efforts earned her Universal Studios Hollywood’s ‘Who-Manitarian of the Year’ Award 2012. It was presented by Max, the Grinch’s lovable canine sidekick played by local rescue dogs during the annual theme park Grinchmas show. Betty White, a seven-time Emmy, Grammy, and Screen Actors Guild Award winner, is best known for popular roles in Mary Tyler Moore, Golden Girls, Hot in Cleveland, and even Dr. Seuss’  The Lorax, just a few of hundreds of movies, television shows and productions she’s been involved with.

She stood next to a whimsical, curving 60-foot Grinchmas tree overlooking a field of snow that kids were invited to play in after the awards ceremony, an event launching Universal Studios Hollywood’s Grinchmas. Included with theme park admission, the family-friendly Grinchmas celebration will ring in a jolly Who-liday season with The Grinch, his faithful dog Max, tons of fresh snow, and celebrity readings of the Dr. Seuss classic, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”. More than 30 celebrity readers are confirmed to participate in the 2012 program. Grinchmas begins this weekend, Saturday, December 8 and Sunday, December 9, and continues daily from December 15 to 31, 2012. See: universalstudioshollywood.com
