Betty White's career has spanned more than 60 years in television, and the Emmys will honor her remarkable longevity with a lifetime achievement award.

White will receive the prestigious award at the upcoming Daytime Emmy Awards. The ceremony will broadcast live on Sunday, April 26 at 8 p.m. EDT on Pop.

"Betty White is an American institution," said Bob Mauro, president of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. "Betty's career as a female pioneer has followed television from literally the beginning of the medium, winning her first Emmy Award in 1952, to the digital-streaming future, winning again in 2010. She is one of the most beloved female performers in the history of television and the National Academy is proud to be honoring her with a most well-deserved Lifetime Achievement Award." 

The 93-year-old actress started her TV career in the early 1950s, starring on the show, "Life with Elizabeth." She's best known for her roles in "Mary Tyler Moore," "Golden Girls" and "Hot in Cleveland" as well as her recent series, "Betty White's Off Their Rockers."

White has won five Emmy awards and received 21 nominations over the course of her career. She received the Screen Actors Guild Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010 and collected the Favorite TV Icon award at the 2015 People's Choice Awards.

Age has not stood in the way for the hard-working actress. She recently provided one of the best moments from the "Saturday Night Live" 40th anniversary special last month when she locked lips with Bradley Cooper in an intense kiss that lasted for nearly a minute.
