While White may be spending the big day in quarantine, the iconic television star still plans to enjoy her birthday to the fullest. In a statement with ET, the Golden Girls actress shared: 

“You probably didn’t ask, but I’ll tell you anyway. What am I doing for my birthday? Running a mile each morning has been curtailed by COVID, so I am working on getting The Pet Set re-released, and feeding the two ducks who come to visit me every day.”

The Pet Set is a syndicated series that White hosted. On the show, numerous celebrities would introduce their pets, including Carol Burnett, Doris Day, and James Stewart. The series also welcomed discussions on pet care and wildlife preservation.

The Pet Set is one of my favorite shows,” White stated in a news release about the show. “I’m thrilled it’s going to be seen again after all these years.”

White’s late husband, Allen Ludden, produced the show, which is set to be re-released by MPI Media Group on Feb. 23, to honor the show’s 50th anniversary.
