If You Ask Me: (And of Course You Won't)

By Betty White

Book Overview

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.

Customer Reviews

Soothing

This book is everything you would expect from Ms. Betty White. Fun, witty, and emotion. This was only the 2nd audio-book I have ever listened to. Her voice was so soothing as she read, reminded me of my grandma. She expressed happiness and emotion as she read. Many would say this book contains basic content. I found it to be perfect, it wasn't the "look at me, look at me" of today's celebs.

Classic Betty

I read this book within a few hours of waiting online at a book store to meet her years ago. Definitely a book I couldn't stop reading! Betty White was such a funny person and had a great personality. Loved reading about her life and will reread this book again in the future!
