Who doesn't love Betty White？ As a huge fan I was thrilled to read this book follows Betty through the decades。 So many of her tv appearances and honoring moments I remember watching when they first aired。 If there is a downside to the book I would say that I didn't learn much new about Betty White。 Most of the information covered comes from her own book， published articles and televised salutes to her。 But the author does a good job organizing the information and complimenting them with photogr Who doesn't love Betty White？ As a huge fan I was thrilled to read this book follows Betty through the decades。 So many of her tv appearances and honoring moments I remember watching when they first aired。 If there is a downside to the book I would say that I didn't learn much new about Betty White。 Most of the information covered comes from her own book， published articles and televised salutes to her。 But the author does a good job organizing the information and complimenting them with photographs。 A perfect gift for Betty White fans regardless of their age。 Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing group for the temporary ARC in exchange for an honest review。 （4。5 stars） 。。。more

A really quick， fun biography of Betty White。 The book chronicles the highlights of the 10 decades in Betty’s life， lots of pictures and interviews with famous co-stars。 Having watched Password as a child， and Mary Tyler Moore in my teens， I was thrilled to read the inside stories and re-live some of Sue Ann’s great lines。 The book certainly illustrates Betty White is not only a brilliant actress， but a brilliant human being as well。 Many thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity A really quick， fun biography of Betty White。 The book chronicles the highlights of the 10 decades in Betty’s life， lots of pictures and interviews with famous co-stars。 Having watched Password as a child， and Mary Tyler Moore in my teens， I was thrilled to read the inside stories and re-live some of Sue Ann’s great lines。 The book certainly illustrates Betty White is not only a brilliant actress， but a brilliant human being as well。 Many thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advance copy。 。。。more

This is a delightful tribute to one of the longest acting， versatile， celebrities out there， Betty White。 It’s a nice inclusion of her career highlights， which keep occurring。 She has been in show biz for over 75 years and very few can match her。 I grew up with her shows from the 1970s but really paid attention to her in the Golden Girls。 The chemistry between the 4 was magical and I still watch the reruns。 White as naive Rose with her insufferable stories， but then spot on one liners keeps gene This is a delightful tribute to one of the longest acting， versatile， celebrities out there， Betty White。 It’s a nice inclusion of her career highlights， which keep occurring。 She has been in show biz for over 75 years and very few can match her。 I grew up with her shows from the 1970s but really paid attention to her in the Golden Girls。 The chemistry between the 4 was magical and I still watch the reruns。 White as naive Rose with her insufferable stories， but then spot on one liners keeps generations returning。 Betty White is one classy dame， no matter what decade she belongs to。 Thanks to Quarto Publishing and NetGalley for the advance copy。 。。。more

A perfectly fitting tribute to an absolute national treasure！ This is an incredibly detailed decade-by-decade look at Betty White's life and career from birth until the present， where we're just a few months shy of her hundredth birthday。The tone of this is of a gushing fan， and it's absolutely perfect。 Information is drawn from television archives， Betty's own writings and interviews， and accounts from several cast-mates and show personnel over the years。 The story is impeccably detailed and co A perfectly fitting tribute to an absolute national treasure！ This is an incredibly detailed decade-by-decade look at Betty White's life and career from birth until the present， where we're just a few months shy of her hundredth birthday。The tone of this is of a gushing fan， and it's absolutely perfect。 Information is drawn from television archives， Betty's own writings and interviews， and accounts from several cast-mates and show personnel over the years。 The story is impeccably detailed and covers not only Betty's professional history， but also the relationships and passions that make her such a remarkable woman。 Beyond a mere recounting， there's substantial discussion of her impact as well--how she's shaped and influenced the Hollywood， comedy， and acting we know today。 There are ample photos and many of them are just stunning！ She was such a dish--I can't believe she was routinely told she wasn't photogenic！ This book will be a real treat for any fan of Betty's （so， like， everyone）。Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review！ 。。。more

If you are a fan （as I am） of Betty White， who is approaching her century birthday in January， this is the book for you。 Not a memoir or biography--after all， Betty herself has written three of those--this book showcases the highlights （as selected by the author） of a 70+-year career in show business， accompanied by an abundance of beautiful photographs。 Betty started her TV career in 1949 and never looked back。 She originated and developed the beloved characters of Sue Ann Nivens on the Mary Ty If you are a fan （as I am） of Betty White， who is approaching her century birthday in January， this is the book for you。 Not a memoir or biography--after all， Betty herself has written three of those--this book showcases the highlights （as selected by the author） of a 70+-year career in show business， accompanied by an abundance of beautiful photographs。 Betty started her TV career in 1949 and never looked back。 She originated and developed the beloved characters of Sue Ann Nivens on the Mary Tyler Moore show and Rose Nylund on Golden Girls， had her own show（s）， and played guest roles on a plethora of others over the years。 An abiding animal lover and activist， she interacted with many animals at the LA Zoo and even with Koko the gorilla， and these are some of my favorite vignettes in the book。 Other favorites include behind-the scenes descriptions of specific TV episodes in which she appeared， her romance and marriage with Allen Ludden， interviews with her coworkers and celebrity friends， and testimonials to her unsurpassed work ethic and kindness。This book is a celebration of someone who is deservedly hailed a true "national treasure。"My review is based on a complimentary pre-release copy of this book。 。。。more

Betty White: 100 Remarkable Moments in an Extraordinary Life， by Mr Ray Richmond， is an even more enjoyable book than I anticipated。 Photographs and text are all engaging。Because these moments span her life， this is like a biography but without getting into all the minutiae。 While a detailed biography would no doubt be a great read， I like this because I wanted more pictures and fewer details。That said， I think Richmond found the ideal level of detail to include。 Each moment offers more than sim Betty White: 100 Remarkable Moments in an Extraordinary Life， by Mr Ray Richmond， is an even more enjoyable book than I anticipated。 Photographs and text are all engaging。Because these moments span her life， this is like a biography but without getting into all the minutiae。 While a detailed biography would no doubt be a great read， I like this because I wanted more pictures and fewer details。That said， I think Richmond found the ideal level of detail to include。 Each moment offers more than simply a cursory comment as an excuse for the photographs。 These entries offered some insight into where she was in her life at the time and how the given moment became important。 In some ways， I think I prefer this type of biography-ish book。 It is very informative yet also very entertaining。I wasn't sure I could like or respect Betty White more than I already did， but both kept increasing with each moment covered in the book。 If you like her， and who doesn't， this book will be a wonderful trip through her life。 The text is engaging and the photographs are fun and， for many of us， nostalgic。Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via NetGalley。 。。。more

I've always loved Betty White。 She really feels like part of my family。 My first exposure to her that I can remember is when I was a child， watching her on her tv show "Life With Elizabeth"。 I've enjoyed her in so many other shows since。 I'm even enjoying Golden Girls again in reruns。This is a remarkable book - a wonderful walk down memory lane that explores not only Betty's life but the history of television。 I loved seeing all the wonderful photos and being reminded of all this remarkable woma I've always loved Betty White。 She really feels like part of my family。 My first exposure to her that I can remember is when I was a child， watching her on her tv show "Life With Elizabeth"。 I've enjoyed her in so many other shows since。 I'm even enjoying Golden Girls again in reruns。This is a remarkable book - a wonderful walk down memory lane that explores not only Betty's life but the history of television。 I loved seeing all the wonderful photos and being reminded of all this remarkable woman has done - - and continues to do！！ 。。。more

This book was a page turner from beginning to end。 Betty White is a badass and this book was awesome。 First I had no idea how many movies and shoes she had been in and it sent me down a rabbit hole of watching movies over again。 such a legend - you get a look into the backstory， what brought her to where she is now， and what keeps her where she is。 I loved it。 I received an advance review copy for free， and I am leaving this review voluntarily。
