Reviews:

Betty White's writing and narration are stellar--crisp and clean as a line drive. Her precise yet conversational intonation is well suited to this delightful romp through her fun-filled creative life. The Emmy Award-winning actress provides the greatest detail on her early years in the infancy of television. Her presence and warmth are palpable as she tells anecdotes about her triumphs and tribulations, her parents and marriages, and her television roles--familiar and less familiar. Her every thought is voiced with the subtle nuances of an experienced performer. With the resurgence of her popularity, both White's fans and students of television history will delight in this must listen. W.A.G.
