LOS ANGELES--()--Betty White, who turns 91 on Thursday, Jan. 17, received an early birthday present from her friends at The Lifeline Program. Lifeline surprised White this week with a red-tailed boa constrictor named Jacob, from Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens. The Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association’s “Adopt an Animal Program” enables anyone to assist one of the zoo’s terrific residents.
“Jacob the boa constrictor is good as gold and cuddles in my arms… and around my neck”
White first met Jacob in September 2011 on the set of her debut music video, “I’m Still Hot.” It must have been love at first sight, as White and Jacob’s instant chemistry on camera helped garner the music video’s more than 2 million hits on YouTube and multiple marketing and video awards including a MarCom Platinum Award, Silver Telly Award, Communicator Award of Excellence and finalist nomination for a Digiday Video Award.
“Jacob the boa constrictor is good as gold and cuddles in my arms… and around my neck,” said White of her early birthday reunion with Jacob. White has worked with the zoo for more than 50 years.
