Betty White, the legendary actress, had two previous marriages before marrying Allen Ludden in 1963. Her first marriage lasted only eight months, while her second ended after two years because her husband did not want her to be in show business.

It took Ludden two years and multiple proposals before White finally agreed to marry him. She regretted not marrying him sooner as he passed away in 1981. Despite their short marriage, White and Ludden shared a strong and lovely bond that continued until her last day. White's close friend and co-star revealed that her last word was for her late husband.
