It-girl Betty White delivers a hilarious, slyly profound take on love, life, celebrity, and everything in between.
Betty White's award-winning career in television and film has spanned an impressive seven decades and has included iconic roles on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Golden Girls. Widely recognized for her lifelong work for animal welfare, she lives in Brentwood, California, with her golden retriever, Pontiac.
White has been experiencing a renaissance of sorts, with her Snickers commercial during the Super Bowl, hosting Saturday Night Live, and her new cable sitcom, Hot in Cleveland. But the 89-year-old wonders what all the fuss is about. She's been here all along and has a 70-year career to show for it. With more than three books (e.g., Betty White in Person) behind her, it is only fitting that she now adds her musings on life-everything from red carpet events (doesn't like them) to coloring her hair ("I have no idea what color my hair is, and I never intend to find out") to dating younger men (nope) and her passion for animals (to which she devotes six chapters). With iconic roles on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Golden Girls as well as a long, happy marriage to game show host the late Allen Ludden, White has much on which to draw. Verdict A lightweight, quick read penned by a beloved show business icon. [See Prepub Alert, 11/1/10.]-Rosy Brewer, Sno-Isle Libs., Marysville, WA (c) Copyright 2011.
