BETTY WHITE
Sue Ann Nivens (Mary Tyler Moore Show, 1973-77)
Rose Nylund (The Golden Girls, 1985-92)
White's Sue Ann was a perfectionist with a cold, sometimes cruel heart. But White would go on to become positively beloved for her dim-witted, sweet Rose. Her Elka Ostrovsky on Hot in Cleveland seems to be working for her, though it hasn't made us forget about either of those ladies. But we know it's best not to bet against Betty. — Abby West
