National treasure Betty White turns 100 on Jan. 17, 2022, and she has invited all of us to celebrate right along with her!

For one day only, movie theaters around the country will be playing "Betty White: 100 Years Young—A Birthday Celebration," a film which will highlight White in her day-to-day life. She'll take us behind-the-scenes on sets, show us what it's like working with her office staff and how she entertains at home. And viewers will actually get to attend her birthday party, virtually!

White will be joined by some of her most famous friends, including Ryan Reynolds, Tina Fey, Robert Redford, Lin Manuel-Miranda, Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Jay Leno, Carol Burnett, Craig Ferguson, Jimmy Kimmel, Valerie Bertinelli, James Corden, Wendy Malick, and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

And what would a movie about Betty White be without showcasing her actin legacy? It will feature tributes to some of her most iconic roles, including Rose on "Golden Girls," her hosting gig on "Saturday Night Live" her Snickers Super Bowl commercial, and her role as Sue Ann on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show."

White said to CNN in a statement, "Who doesn't love a party?!? This one is gonna be GREAT!"
