Posted January 04, 2022 12:00 am
Betty White became America's sweetheart, but first, she was Oak Park's little bundle of joy.
The late actress, who died on Dec. 31 at her Brentwood, California, home, was born in the Chicago suburb on Jan. 17, 1922. And though she and her family moved to the West Coast just a year later, White often spoke fondly of her Oak Park roots and would return to visit family members.
