The 90-year-old resurfaced at some event in L.A. on Thursday, looking comfy.

Betty is Jeff Bridges' godmother.

24. she is 90 years old and looks very much the elegant lady! I did not even think she was alive anymore, but I am glad I am wrong. I hope she is happy and Gob Bless her for taking age naturally, unlike so many others!

I think you have your Bettys mixed up. Wikipedia does not show her as being dead.
