Apropos of nothing in particular, we present this press-release photo of newlyweds Betty White and Allen Ludden.
1963. "Allen Ludden and Betty White, co-starring in Lerner & Loewe's hit musical Brigadoon, at the Gladiators Music Arena in Totowa, N.J., now through Sunday, July 14." View full size.
My daughter and I watch the nighttime edition of Password every week (after Secret Agent, before Rocky and Bullwinkle). Allen is a great host and it's particularly fun when Betty is a contestant!
When I saw a photo of Betty White featured my first thought was that she must have just died. I'm glad she's still with us at 98.
I suppose your caption hinted that it wasn't an obit, but I didn't get that far before jumping to my conclusion.
Don't do that to us again.
Allen Ludden was born in (and is buried in) my former hometown of Mineral Point, Wisconsin. Ludden Lake, north of town, is a favorite fishing spot. I’ve seen photos of Allen and Betty at a Mineral Point parade in their honor, but couldn’t find it.
