The documentary, Betty White: 100 Years Young, was scheduled to be shown by Fathom Events in cinemas for one night only to mark the occasion.
Our hearts are broken at Fathom Events as we mourn the passing of Betty White. Please read the statement shared from the producers of the upcoming celebration of Betty's life and career.
