Look what Betty White gave Meryl Streep for a birthday present

Meryl Streep turns 63 on Friday, June 22, and in her honor The Lifeline Program and Betty White have adopted an adorable Snow Leopard cub for the three-time Oscar winner. America’s “Golden Girl” and the life settlement company that helps seniors discover a new financial option for retirement couldn’t resist giving one of her favorite actresses a present for her birthday.

"Meryl Streep is such a wonderful woman who has given so much to our generation and we wanted to give her a gift as unique and rare as she is," said White. "We know she will fall in love with our Snow Leopard, just like we did."

White’s special gift to Streep was arranged through The Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association’s "Adopt an Animal Program.”

“Having starred in ‘Out of Africa,’ Streep is no stranger to exotic wildlife,” says Stephen Terrell, senior vice president of The Lifeline Program.  “We wanted a fun way to honor her talents and help a good cause at the same time.”

The Lifeline Program offers life settlements and financial planning options to retirees.  For more information, call 770-724-7300 or visit www.thelifeline.com.
