"Hot in Cleveland" star, Betty White turns 90 this week and is there any cartoons she was in? (I have yet to see her humor in "The Mary Tyler Moore Show").

Yes, a great many!
She guested as herself in the Simpsons episodes "Missionary: Impossible" (1999) and "Homerazzi" (2007), as well as the 2006 Family Guy episode "Peterotica."
In the English-language dub of the 2008 animated film Ponyo, she voiced Yoshie.
The 2000 direct-to-video film Tom Sawyer cast her as Aunt Polly. In the 2010 short Prep & Landing Stocking Stuffer: Operation: Secret Santa, she was Mrs. Claus.
Ms. White had regular roles in the cartoon series The Lionhearts (1998) as Dorothy, Higglytown Heroes (2004) as Grandmama, and The Pound Puppies (2010) as Agatha McLeish.
Other guest roles:
Father of the Pride: Grandma Wilson in "Donkey"
Gary the Rat: Gary's Mother in "This is Not a Pipe"
Glenn Martin, DDS: Dora in "From Here to Fraternity"
Hercules: Hestia in "Hercules and the Tiff on Olympus"
King of the Hill: Delia in "Escape from Party Island"; Dorothy and Ellen in "The Son Also Roses"
The Wild Thornberrys: Grandma Sophie Hunter in "A Tiger By the Tail" and "The Anniversary."
Fun fact: Betty White has been in television -- off and on -- for over 70 years! She claims that she and a high-school classmate sang tunes from the operetta The Merry Widow during a 1939 broadcast on a Los Angeles experimental TV station.
