Take a look back at some of the most memorable things the 99-year-old actress has said over the years:

• “I’m a teenager trapped in an old body.”
• “It’s [old age] not a surprise, we knew it was coming – make the most of it. So you may not be as fast on your feet, and the image in your mirror may be a little disappointing, but if you are still functioning and not in pain, gratitude should be the name of the game.”
• “Animals don’t lie. Animals don’t criticize. If animals have moody days, they handle them better than humans do.”
• “Retirement is not in my vocabulary. They aren’t going to get rid of me that way.”
• “People have told me ‘Betty, Facebook is a great way to keep in touch with old friends…’ At my age, if I wanted to keep in touch with old friends, I’d need a Ouija board.”
• “If one has no sense of humor, one is in trouble.”
• “I think it’s your mental attitude. So many of us start dreading age in high school and that’s a waste of a lovely life. ‘Oh... I’m 30, oh, I’m 40, oh, 50.’ Make the most of it.”
• “You don’t luck into integrity. You work at it.”
• “Friendship takes time and energy if it’s going to work. You can luck into something great, but it doesn’t last if you don’t give it proper appreciation. Friendship can be so comfortable, but nurture it-don’t take it for granted.”
• “I’ve always liked older men. They’re just more attractive to me. Of course, at my age there aren’t that many left!”
• “Don’t try to be young. Just open your mind. Stay interested in stuff.”
• “One thing they don’t tell you about growing old - you don’t feel old, you just feel like yourself. And it’s true.”
• “My mother always used to say, ‘The older you get, the better you get. Unless you’re a banana.’”
• “Facebook just sounds like a drag, in my day seeing pictures of people’s vacations was considered a punishment.”
