INTERVIEW: B&B's Betty White (Ann)"Most roles I’m offered have me there to provide a chuckle. On B&B it’s all serious, baby. I get a chance to do something I rarely do—emote all over the place! Ann’s such an interesting character study.
"I think she’s starting to get panicky and doesn’t want to face death. In her mind she didn’t show up in Los Angeles to make amends with her girls. She’d never admit she’s been less than perfect as a mother. But she’s losing her power. She’s losing control. She wants to get rid of some of the old garbage, so it’s nice for her to be with Stephanie and Pam and resolve some issues that have been sticky for a while."
