Betty White’s 100th birthday coming to theaters for one-night-only event

Betty White is about to hit a very big milestone come Jan. 17.

The iconic star of both the big and the small screens will hit triple digits, turning the big 1-0-0, next year. Fans will able to celebrate the joyous occasion with her in a special one-night-only theatrical event.

“Betty White: 100 Years Young — A Birthday Celebration” will be distributed by Fathom Events and will be shown in 900 cinemas nationwide on Jan. 17, 2022.

Tickets will go on sale on Dec. 17.

The show will take a gander at the much-loved actress’ life behind the scenes, as well as her relationships with her friends and staff and her efforts as an animal advocate.

The “Golden Girls” star’s 100th birthday bash will also be in the show, with a guest list that includes the likes of Ryan Reynolds, Tina Fey, Robert Redford, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Jay Leno, Carol Burnett, Craig Ferguson, Jimmy Kimmel, Valerie Bertinelli, James Corden, Wendie Malick and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Highlight reels from her illustrious career will be featured in the show, along with footage from her appearances on “Saturday Night Live” and her roles on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and “Hot in Cleveland.”

“Who doesn’t love a party?!? This one is gonna be great,” White said in a statement.

Filmmaker Steve Boettcher added, “We didn’t want this day to pass without bringing together all the people that love her, from her co-stars and friends to her many millions of fans of all ages, to celebrate her 100th birthday with an entertaining and loving look at what makes Betty a national treasure.”

The sitcom revolved around Dorothy Zbornak (Bea Arthur), Rose Nylund (White), Blanche Devereaux (Rue McClanahan) and Sophia Petrillo (Estelle Getty) living together in Miami as they face life in their later years together as pals.

White’s legacy on “The Golden Girls” will further be memorialized in the upcoming fan convention.

The Golden-Con: Thank You for Being a Fan event will be held in Chicago April 22-24.

“We’re creating a space where fans can celebrate all the things they love about the show: friendships, laughter, families of choice, Scandinavian nitwits, sexy Southern belles, stern substitute teachers and Sicilians,” event producer Zack Hudson told Edge Media Network in October.

When The Post asked White’s reps if she plans on attending the inaugural Golden-Con, her spokesman Jeff Witjas said: “No she is not. At 99 and about to be 100 [on Jan. 17], Betty no longer travels by air.”
