Betty White’s wax figure is arriving at the Madame Tussauds museum in Washington D.C. today, Oct. 9.

White, 91, is the oldest ever person to be honored with a Madame Tussauds figure.

When it was first unveiled about 16 months ago, she cracked a few jokes.

“The only thing that irks me is they waited until I was 90,” the Golden Girls actress said then, reports Entertainment Online. “A few decades ago would have been swell.”

White also quipped, “I want to thank Madame Tussauds Hollywood for taking their sweet time in making my wax figure. Would it have killed them to do this 50 years ago before gravity took over?”

“Seriously though, it will be an honor to stand among the greats like George Burns and Lucille Ball,” she said.
