Above is a photograph of Elton with one of the former stars of TV's Golden Girls sitcom.
''Betty White is my guest of honour,” Elton told Access Hollywood before the EJAF Oscar gala in West Hollywood. “I want to meet a legend and she is a legend!”
He even had a special place at his party for the actress.
“She’s sitting on my right hand side,” he said. “I’m so thrilled that she’s coming.”
Elton explained the two had already developed a friendship pre-party, via phone, over their shared love of canines.

White is a Morris Animal Foundation trustee who is raising money to help improve the lives of animals. She agreed to match up to $25,000 to fund research into leptospirosis, a potentially fatal and contagious disease that affects a growing number of dogs. Sir Elton and his foundation recently matched Betty’s donation.
