Further success followed in 1985, when White secured the role of Rose Nylund on "The Golden Girls", which went on to earn her another four Emmy Awards. During the first decades of the 2000s, White experienced a career resurgence, starring in numerous television shows, including "The Bold and the Beautiful" (1987), "Ugly Betty" (2006) and "Boston Legal" (2004) to name just a few.
