Betty White Declines Marine’s Invite To Ball

Betty White was thankful to receive an invite from a Marine who asked her hand to the Marine Corps Ball, but the 89-year-old actress had to gracefully decline. “I am deeply flattered and truly appreciate the invitation, as everyone knows I love a man in uniform… but unfortunately I cannot accept, as I will be taping an episode of ‘Hot In Cleveland,’” White said. Sgt. Ray Lewis, who has served in Afghanistan and Iraq, invited Betty via YouTube, following the lead set by fellow marines who were successful in inviting Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake.
