Betty White honoured in wax

Old school TV legend, Betty White, unveiled her wax lookalike at Madame Tussauds in Hollywood on Monday. According to People.com, the former Golden Girl star said, "The only thing that irks me is they waited until I was 90. A few decades ago would have been swell."

Also paying homage to the star was TLC's 'Cake Boss', Buddy Valastro, who whipped up a life-sized cake of Betty. The vanilla cake was over 1.5m tall and was covered in chocolate.

Another tribute was put together by NBC earlier this year when they arranged a 90th birthday special for White featuring some of her celebrity friends.

And to top it all off, The Los Angeles Zoo named a baby orangutan "Elka", after White's character in the series "Hot In Cleveland".
