[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 401567, member: 7"] I'm divided on whether or not I see Betty White as always playing a variation of Sue Ann. I suppose that's how the industry viewed her because MARY TYLER MOORE was her biggest break with a running part on a TV show after years of being a game show regular. Her role as Ellen in "The Family" sketches and later the MAMA'S FAMILY sitcom mirror Sue Ann, at least a little anyway. Her reputation as being naughty and flirtatious is the reason NBC originally wanted to cast her as man-hungry Southern belle Blanche Devereaux on THE GOLDEN GIRLS. It was TV director Jay Sandrich that suggested White and Rue McClanahan, and that they play Rose and Blanche, respectively. So I guess that underlining "vixen" has stuck with her.
