Betty White 2011 Wall Calendar [Calendar]

CC Workman Publishing (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2010

Announcing the Betty White calendar for 2011, featuring twelve glorious months of Betty, the beloved actress, comedienne, and surprisingly hot-hot-hot celebrity. At age 88, Betty White has a hit show—Hot in Cleveland. Made Saturday Night Live funny again when NBC gave her the guest-host spot at the urging of a 500,000-member Facebook campaign. And starred, with Abe Vigoda, in the year’s #1 Super Bowl commercial (Snickers). She is classy, earthy, unassuming, a winner of multiple Emmy awards and an outspoken advocate for animal charities. And she’s got a fantastic sense of humor about herself. Now that’s our kind of pin-up girl.

Betty White’s royalties will support Morris Animal Foundation.

5.0 out of 5 stars America's Sweetheart Indeed!, November 28, 2010

Every December I can't help but peruse the Calendar Kiosk at the mall to see what celebrities and shows have cemented themselves into Pop Culture history via these freshly-printed monthly records for the upcoming New Year.

The staples are always there: Elvis, Marilyn, Lucy, etc. as well as the current crop of media sensations: Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Twilight, Glee, etc.

What a delight this year to see America's Sweetheart, Betty White awarded her own 2011 Calendar. Technically, this isn't Betty's first calendar appearance because about 20 years back there were "Golden Girls" calendars available for a few years when the series was at the height of its popularity. But this is the first calendar that's ALL Betty, ALL the time! (or as the cover proudly proclaims: "12 Months of Betty at Her Best!").

The high-quality pages contain the following images of the unsinkable octagerarian:

January: A great colorized early '50s pose of Betty in a sleeveless striped top wearing pearls and smiling.

February: A 1990s pic of Betty lounging in silver dress (from an Entertainment Weekly photo shoot), being waited on hand-and-foot by a trio of hunks in black-and-gold '50s-style swim trunks. (From the same photo session as the cover but a different pic).

March: A recent pic of Betty in a yellow blouse listening to a boom-box and giving a peace sign with her fingers.

April: A large B&W pic of Betty as Sue-Ann Nivens putting the moves on a disinterested Lou Grant.

May: Betty and Molly Shannon in a pic from the hilarious SNL "Muffin" talk show sketch from May 2010.

June: A large B&W pic of Allen Ludden kissing Betty's cheek on their wedding day in 1963.

The centrespread features a nice collage of color and B&W Betty pics from the early '50s to the present.

July: A large B&W pic of Betty and Johnny Carson as Tarzan and Jane. Betty's wearing a leopard-print jungle dress.

August: Color pic of Betty dressed as a chicken from the "Golden Girls" episode where they put on the "Henny Penny" play.

September: B&W pic of Betty playing the piano with a poodle, circa 1958.

October: Betty and Will Forte in a SNL parody of "The Lawrence Welk Show" from May 2010.

November: A gorgeous color 1950s pic of Betty in a red plaid cowboy shirt relaxing against a big haystack.

December: Betty on the "Today Show" with Elmo of Sesame Street, from 2010.

Each month also has a small blurb with fun facts about Betty and the proceeds will go to one of Betty's animal charities.

Cute, campy and great fun for the year to come. Get it!

It's a cute calender, containing photos of Ms. White from the 1950's throughout her career to present day. Most people will recognize several photos, esp. from the Mary Tyler Moore show. I bought it for my Mom, MIL who got a kick out of it and also for a few friends who donate to animal charities, because Ms. White's royalties from this calendar go to the Morris Animal Foundation. I appreicated that I got a nice gift with more meaning behind it.
