Summary
It-girl Betty White delivers a hilarious， slyly profound take on love， life， celebrity， and everything in between。
Drawing from a lifetime of lessons learned， seven-time Emmy winner Betty White's wit and wisdom take center stage as she tackles topics like friendship， romantic love， aging， television， fans， love for animals， and the brave new world of celebrity。 If You Ask Me mixes her thoughtful observations with humorous stories from a seven- decade career in Hollywood。 Longtime fans and new fans alike will relish Betty's candid take on everything from her rumored crush on Robert Redford （true） to her beauty regimen （I have no idea what color my hair is and I never intend to find out"） to the Facebook campaign that helped persuade her to host Saturday Night Live despite her having declined the hosting job three times already。
Featuring all-new material， with a focus on the past fifteen years of her life， If You Ask Me is funny， sweet， and to the point-just like Betty White。

Firstly， the world does not deserve Betty White！This is a very short memoir from Betty， with the audiobook narrated by Betty。 The overarching theme in this book is her abundant love of animals。 Her stories about her own personal animals， and those “celebrity animals” that she’s had the good fortune to meet， are heartwarming。 I especially loved her story about meeting KoKo the gorilla！This is a quick read that will put a smile on your face！

Betty White could write about anything and I would give her five stars。 Not only that， she could run me down and drag my dead body for miles; I would still give her five stars。 Highly recommend listening to it on audiobook as Betty read her book and as soon as I heard her voice， it made me smile。

Betty White is older than Queen Elizabeth！ She hand wrote the foreword and a chapter on why handwriting is important。 Each chapter is short and to the point。 A very good idea for those of us who want to write about our lives and / or experiences。 Really glad I picked this up and read it。

Funny， irreverent， witty， adorable。。。what other adjectives can I add？ Name them and they most likely will apply to the fantastic Betty White。 This was a soft cover book and very easy to read。 She includes pictures （some from her personal library） as well as many Hollywood standards。 Also included is her Forward and Afterward， written in her own， delicate and quite legible cursive handwriting。Most of the chapters are only a few pages long， so the book is a very easy read。 If you're just looking f Funny， irreverent， witty， adorable。。。what other adjectives can I add？ Name them and they most likely will apply to the fantastic Betty White。 This was a soft cover book and very easy to read。 She includes pictures （some from her personal library） as well as many Hollywood standards。 Also included is her Forward and Afterward， written in her own， delicate and quite legible cursive handwriting。Most of the chapters are only a few pages long， so the book is a very easy read。 If you're just looking for some cute insights into her acting career， some of her early life and cute， quippy anecdotes， then this is the book for you。 She touches on a little bit of everything， without getting overly maudlin or cloying。。。I can almost actually see her sitting down doing all the writing on a notepad before handing it in to her publisher for editing and final approval。I would love to actually meet her and just get a chance to chat for a bit。 I， and everyone else， sees her public persona and it completely jives with what you get from her book。 But， it also gives you a little bit deeper of a look into her as the kindly neighbor next door， who you might play cards with （and she DOES play cards）， or share a walk with or a glass of lemonade with on a hot， sunny day。 That's the Betty White I'd like to meet。 What a treasure。 Wonderful read， wonderful lady。 。。。more

This is such a cute book！ I especially liked the parts where she discussed her relationship with her husband and her love of animals。

I don’t rate biographies and this wasn’t what I thought it would be， but who could ever write a bad review about Betty White？！ She still had me laughing and smiling throughout the audio。

If you're a fan of Betty White then you'll enjoy this book。 She narrates it so it's even more enjoyable。 It's just various stories about her TV life， her friends， and her sweet pets。 It's basically a glimpse into her life but it's nothing too hard-hitting。 I was entertaining and there were a few laugh out loud moments。 If you're a fan of Betty White then you'll enjoy this book。 She narrates it so it's even more enjoyable。 It's just various stories about her TV life， her friends， and her sweet pets。 It's basically a glimpse into her life but it's nothing too hard-hitting。 I was entertaining and there were a few laugh out loud moments。 。。。more

Betty is just so enjoyable。 She reminds me of my my grandmother。 I love the bite-size chapters。 She is witty and down to earth。

This was one of the quickest and simplest autobiographies I've read。 The chapters are relatively short and simple （like a James Patterson novel）。 She doesn't go into too much detail regarding her life but White gives you a nice insight。 Yes， she has been in show business for over eight decades， but she doesn't spill dirt on others。 She speaks kindly， graceful， and humbly。 White has a great career and written a legacy that no one will be able to take away from her。 If you need a little break from This was one of the quickest and simplest autobiographies I've read。 The chapters are relatively short and simple （like a James Patterson novel）。 She doesn't go into too much detail regarding her life but White gives you a nice insight。 Yes， she has been in show business for over eight decades， but she doesn't spill dirt on others。 She speaks kindly， graceful， and humbly。 White has a great career and written a legacy that no one will be able to take away from her。 If you need a little break from fiction or a good non-fiction autobiography， give this book a shot。 。。。more

Short， fast， sweet but not cloying。 Less of an autobiography and more a series of charming musings and no-nonsense writing。 I can't help but love her。 Short， fast， sweet but not cloying。 Less of an autobiography and more a series of charming musings and no-nonsense writing。 I can't help but love her。 。。。more

This one was way off the beaten path for me， but it was amusing。 Short little 'chapters' on show business， friends， family， comedy， etc。 Only took a lunch break and the ride home to listen to。 This one was way off the beaten path for me， but it was amusing。 Short little 'chapters' on show business， friends， family， comedy， etc。 Only took a lunch break and the ride home to listen to。 。。。more

If you love Betty White （and if you don't， 1: why are you reading reviews about her book， and 2: what the H is wrong with you？）， you will likely enjoy this quick read， written by Ms。 White herself。 It consists of 1-5 page chapters， interspersed with full-page photos from various eras of her life。 It's light， a bit of fluff， but who doesn't need something uplifting in the midst of a global pandemic？ I enjoyed her analogy， in a chapter on why she doesn't fear death， that the body is merely the env If you love Betty White （and if you don't， 1: why are you reading reviews about her book， and 2: what the H is wrong with you？）， you will likely enjoy this quick read， written by Ms。 White herself。 It consists of 1-5 page chapters， interspersed with full-page photos from various eras of her life。 It's light， a bit of fluff， but who doesn't need something uplifting in the midst of a global pandemic？ I enjoyed her analogy， in a chapter on why she doesn't fear death， that the body is merely the envelope， and it's the contents that matter。 I also love her idea of heaven， where we are greeted by all of the creatures we have loved in our lives。 If my dogs and cats aren't there， why go？ 。。。more

Unpretentious， quick， reassuring read。 I'm so happy people have let Betty White have her opinions without ripping her to shreds。 But then again， much of her activism has been done quietly。 Unpretentious， quick， reassuring read。 I'm so happy people have let Betty White have her opinions without ripping her to shreds。 But then again， much of her activism has been done quietly。 。。。more

An absolute delightful read！This is the first book by Betty I've read。A quick read， with short， meaningful insights into her life。 Although short stories， they pack a powerful punch of who she was growing up， how she carries herself through life， and the things she holds dearest to her。 An absolute delightful read！This is the first book by Betty I've read。A quick read， with short， meaningful insights into her life。 Although short stories， they pack a powerful punch of who she was growing up， how she carries herself through life， and the things she holds dearest to her。 。。。more
