Showbiz legend Betty White's career will be brought to life at Newbridge Silverware in Kildare with an exhibition dedicated to the Golden Girl opening up.
Home to the Museum of Style Icons, Newbridge Silverware has a collection of garments, awards, and personal jewellery which once belonged to the late actress. Items on display also includes items from the actress' personal life.
Launching the exhibition, model Pat Mulcahy was pictured wearing one of Betty White’s favourite tracksuits as well as a jumper reading 'St Olafants', a nod to the fictional town from which Betty's Golden Girls character Rose hailed from. Betty's career in television and film spanned an impressive seven decades.
