Betty White is born Betty Marion White in Oak Park, Illinois. She was an actress and comedian. A pioneer of early television, with a career spanning eight decades, White was noted for her vast work in the entertainment industry.

After making the transition to television from radio, White became a staple panelist of American game shows, including Password, Match Game, Tattletales, To Tell the Truth, The Hollywood Squares, and The $25,000 Pyramid; dubbed "the first lady of game shows," White became the first woman to receive the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host for the show Just Men! in 1983.

In the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, Howard Carter, a British archaeologist and Egyptologist, explores a building that he and his crew have partially excavated. He chips away at the edge of a door to what he thinks may be a tomb, until a small opening is made. Then, by the light of a candle, he peers through the opening into King Tutankhamun's (King Tut's) tomb. A companion, Lord Carvarnon, asks Carter, "Can you see anything?" to which Carter replies "Yes, wonderful things!" The inside of King Tut's tomb is still intact and contains many precious items made of gold and ebony.
