The Hollywood legend Betty White turned 99 on Sunday, and she spoke out the day before to reveal how she planned to mark the occasion.

“Since I am turning 99, I can stay up as late as I want without asking permission!” White told the Associated Press. The former “Golden Girls” star added that she would spend part of the day feeding local ducks that visit her home in California.

As for her birthday meal, White said that she would have a hot dog and French fries, brought over by her friend and agent Jeff Witjas, who also gifted her a bouquet of roses.  She also said that she is feeling great as she heads into her 99th year.

“I am blessed with good health so turning 99 is no different than turning 98,” she told People Magazine, going on to emphasize the importance of a “sense of humor.”

“Don’t take yourself too seriously. You can lie to others – not that I would – but you cannot lie to yourself,” White advised. “I don’t like the other side. The positive side is a lot more fun.”

White is already looking forward to life after lockdown when “visiting with close friends and bringing food to my animal friends” will become feasible.

As for her tips to longevity and happiness, White said, “Again, having a sense of humor. Just looking at the positive side and not dwelling on the downside. [It] Takes up too much energy being negative. Also having a good agent who keeps me busy all the time.”

This comes months after a friend of White’s said that her cocktail of choice is a “vodka martini” with “hot dogs and French fries.”

“Betty loves to joke that vodka keeps her young,” the friend told Closer Weekly. “She loves the image of her sitting at home in a rocking chair, drinking a martini and watching game shows, but she’s not really a big drinker. That’s not her. She’ll only take a few sips of a cocktail if the occasion calls for it.”

A representative for White recently told Today that she “has a beautiful backyard with a number of wild animals visiting.”

The rep added that she “has helpers who are great” with her and “wild animals visiting” her backyard.

“The virus is afraid of Betty,” the rep added.
