"If You Ask Me (And of Course You Won't), Betty White, hardcover edition. 4 out of 5 stars.
From amazon:
"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."
~~~~~~~~~~
Quick chapters on a myriad of different topics dear to Betty's heart; this made for a most excellent before bedtime read for me. I could read a few quick chapters before turning off the light and not feel like I left off in the midddle of something.
I've always liked her work, though I wasn't wild about her on The Golden Girls (I didn't like that show in general, it wasn't just her portrayal of her character), I LOVED HER work on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Too funny! I should check and see if her current show Hot in Cleveland is available on NetFlix--I hear it's pretty funny.
