Betty White was precious by all, including her “crush” Robert Redford
Following the starlet’ death at the age of 99, Robert stated in a declaration to E! News, “Betty lived life devoted to her craft and her love of animals. She made us all laugh, including me.”
He then included: “I had a crush on her too!”
The Golden Girls star just recently revealed appreciation for the Hollywood star in aDec 28 interview with People, stating, “I’ve heard Ryan [Reynolds] can’t overcome his thing for me however Robert Redford is The One.”
Robert didn’t respond at the time, however Betty’s The Proposal co-star did, joking on Twitter, “I’m absolutely sick of the media exploiting past relationships just to drive clicks.”
Of course, Betty and Robert have a history– sort of. Back when Betty played Sue Ann on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, she made a recommendation to the star of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in the episode “Chuckles Bites the Dust,” as reported by Thrillist
