I liked this book. I am a BIG fan of Betty White (who isn't?) and I enjoyed learning about her career from her earliest days on radio and tv beginning in the 1940s through The Golden Girls years. There are many triumphs and awards. There's good coverage of her stint on The Mary Tyler Moore Show; slightly less (unfortunately) on The Golden Girls. Along the way she also had a few clunkers believe it or not. As I read, I heard the voice of Sue Ann Niven narrating, with that sugary syrup dripping, which made it quite fun. Betty also describes her many guest shots and game show appearances, and of course her devotion to her late husband, Allan Ludden, the host of Password, shines through.
My only complaint is that the book ends in 1995, the year it was published. Betty has continued to flourish since then and I would love to be able to read more. There's 25 more years of Betty White to learn about!! Finger's crossed.
***1/2 Three and a half stars!
