On "That 70's Show," Kitty and her mother Bea (played by TV legend Betty White), had an edgy and complicated relationship. This brought a complex layer to Kitty's cheery spirit that helped further develop her character. Bea consistently scrutinizes Kitty until she finally stands up for herself in a rousing and emotional moment. This set White apart from other guest stars as Rupp and Smith review past scenes in a video interview with Entertainment Weekly.
"Oh my god, I loved Betty White so much, and she was so mean to me. Yeah, she was really mean, she was a mean mother." She then clarifies that she's referring to her character, much to the relief of her co-star Smith who agrees "Betty White was great." Rupp continues to explain "Yeah I loved that relationship because, because it was very passionate on Kitty's end and Red was just enamored with her. It gave Kitty some good conflict so I really liked that. It was, to me, true to life. It was heartfelt."
This scene also gave Rupp the chance to flex her tremendous dramatic acting chops which led her to future roles like the enchanted Sharon Davis on Marvel's "WandaVision." The esteemed actress will even be reprising her part, as a testament to her undeniable abilities, in the upcoming "Agatha: Coven of Chaos." That's great news for fans who will also enjoy her in future seasons of "That 90's Show."
