ASK CHRIS PICK: Golden Girl Betty White is the honoree at the 40th-anniversary gala for Actors and Others for Animals. For decades the animal lover has been a tireless critter advocate and was one of the earliest members of the group that counts Doris Day, Mary Tyler Moore, and Diane Keaton among its ranks. Proceeds from the fund-raiser go to pet adoptions, veterinary care, and Betty’s Bucks for Balls Spay/Neuter Campaign. President JoAnne Worley officiates at the vegetarian, fur-free animal love-in.
