If You Ask Me by Betty White

I have always liked Betty White and the way she says something serious and makes it funny.  In this book, drawing from a lifetime of lessons learned, Betty tackles topic like friendship, romantic love, aging, television, fans, love for animals, and the new world of celebrity.  She tells humorous stories about her seven decades career in Hollywood.  One time she had a crush on Robert Redford.  Betty's beauty regimen is, I have no idea what color my hair is and I never intend to find out.  She discusses the Facebook campaign that helped persuade her to host Saturday Night Live despite declining the host job three times.  Betty touches on her childhood, her funny parents, early days in show business, as well as her present popularity.  She wanted to be a park ranger or writer when she grew up, but I think acting fits much better.  Betty still finds time to be an advocate for animals and has visited many times with Koko the signing gorilla at the San Francisco Zoo.  Betty says, "I stay in show business to pay for all my animal work."

I plan to keep watching her latest television show "Hot in Cleveland".  It's is so funny and Betty makes aging not look so bad.  This book is funny, sweet, and to the point-just like Betty White.
