The documentary will show video from White’s final interview while providing “a backstage look at her career, and insights into what was most important to her.”
The producers of “Betty White: 100 Years Young — A Birthday Celebration” confirmed Friday that the film will be released as planned Jan. 17, which would have been the Emmy winner’s centennial birthday. The title of the feature, however, has been changed to “Betty White: A Celebration.”
“During the many years we worked with her, we developed a great love and admiration for Betty as a person, and as an accomplished entertainer. ... We will go forward with our plans to show the film ... in hopes our film will provide a way for all who loved her to celebrate her life — and experience what made her such a national treasure.”
Reynolds, who starred opposite White in the 2009 romantic comedy “The Proposal,” paid tribute Friday to his late co-star, who “managed to grow very old and somehow, not old enough.”
