Book Description

The New York Times bestseller from the beloved actress who's made us laugh on shows from The Mary Tyler Moore Show to Saturday Night Live! In this candid take on everything from the unglamorous reality behind red-carpet affairs to her beauty regimen ("I have no idea what color my hair is, and I never intend to find out"), Betty White shares her observations about life, celebrity, and love (for humans and animals). Filled with photos, If You Ask Me is funny, sweet, and straight to the point-just like Betty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to see why people still love Betty White May 5, 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Still going strong at the age of 89, Betty White is practically a force of nature, and only a determined curmudgeon could dislike this endearing collection of mini-essays by the seven-time Emmy winner. Written in a style similar to her previous book "Betty White: In Person," this new book is filled with chatty, warm, winning anecdotes about HOT IN CLEVELAND, her recent turn on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, and, as always, her love for animals. Her fundamental decency as a person, as well as her gifts as a performer, are evident throughout. Numerous black-and-white photos from throughout her career grace the pages. If you're looking for bitterness, cynicism, or salaciousness, keep moving. But if you'd enjoy spending a few hours in the company of a very classy, funny, down-to-earth lady who wears her success lightly, this is just the ticket.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny Betty May 5, 2011
By A&D
Format:Hardcover
Betty White has become a new top celebrity with her latest successes in movies and television series Golden Girls. In her new book, she discusses of her celebrity, love, aging, television, friends, and her love for animals. She is 89 yrs old now and still as funny and clever as ever. She tells that most of the two- and three-page chapters came to her while she was relaxing on a couch with a pet.

In her book, there is a lot about her passion for animal welfare, including a photo of White sitting face-to-face with Koko gorilla. Betty White has been passionate with the animal welfare for a long time and has been heartbroken of the conditions of some animals and how they are treated. She often tells about the anecdotes of other celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor and how she purchased a puppy in an auction hosted by Betty White, and later on the puppy died.
The book is quite interesting to read. It's a series of short essays about how Betty White feels about a number of different topics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for a Mother's Day Gift May 6, 2011
Format:Hardcover
Like her other books, Betty wrote this by herself in long hand that is so beautiful the editor used parts of her manuscript as artwork. The photographs are way cool, and believe it or not, she only finished writing this book about nine weeks ago so. It is a happy and very well designed book, too, the kind you leave on the coffee table and everyone who comes into the house picks up and starts reading. God bless her and rock on, Betty!
