Meghann Fahy, known for her role in The White Lotus, shared fond memories of the late Betty White during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on April 8. The two actresses worked together on the Hallmark movie The Lost Valentine in 2011, where Fahy portrayed a younger version of White’s character. Although they didn’t have direct scenes together, Fahy reminisced about White’s legendary habits.
Fahy revealed that White enjoyed vodka on ice and had a fondness for chocolate cake for breakfast, describing her as a true legend for these indulgences. She elaborated, “I think she just sort of moved through life in this amazing way.” Underscoring White’s ability to be extraordinary yet relatable, Fahy expressed how meaningful it was for her to meet the iconic actress early in her career.
Jimmy Kimmel humorously questioned if White was drinking vodka alongside her cake, to which Fahy clarified that the drinks were for outside the set context. Reflecting on White’s life, Fahy stated, "It was so cool for me to meet her… and learn that you can be as incredible as that, and still be so human and not fussy."
In a lighthearted moment, Kimmel noted that one could live a long life drinking vodka and eating cake, leading Fahy to joke that she started this lifestyle at 20, inspired by White’s example. The late actress had previously shared her "recipe for living a long, happy life," which included vodka and hot dogs, along with a focus on positivity.
As they discussed her legacy, Kimmel recalled how Sandra Bullock, White’s co-star in The Proposal, wished her a toast of vodka on ice, embracing the humor and kindness that represented White’s character throughout her life.
Meghann Fahy’s heartfelt tribute reminds us of Betty White not only as a beloved television icon but also as a woman who embraced life with joy and indulgence.
