During Saturday’s Screen Actors Guild Awards, Betty White accepted a lifetime achievement award for a career that has spanned over 60 years.

The award was presented by Sandra Bullock, White’s co-star in The Proposal, who joked that White was annoying because she makes everyone feel like a slacker. White teased back, “Isn’t it heartening to see how far a girl as plain as she is can go?” The digs were, of course, all in fun.

White, a lover of animals since she was a young girl, has worked with the Morris Animal Foundation and L.A. Zoo since the ‘70s. She recently told TVGuide.com, "I'm the luckiest person in the world. My life is divided in absolute half: half animals, half show business. They're the two things I love the most and I have to stay in show business to pay for my animal work!"

The actress distances herself from the moniker ‘animal rights activist’ as she prefers to stay away from the political and demonstrative side of animal welfare. Instead dedicates herself to furthering the health of animals, which allows her to stay positive with her work.
