About this title

Synopsis

Reviews

Her late husband, Allen Ludden, once remarked that White had been one of the pioneers in silent television. That is just barely an exaggeration, because she got her start in Hollywood on Television in 1949 and has not been off the tube for any length of time for the past 46 years. Best known for her roles as Sue Ann on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and as the terminally naive Rose on The Golden Girls, she has had four Betty White Shows, starting in 1950, as well as a show close to her animal-lover's heart, The Pet Set. She also played minor, recurring characters on The Carol Burnett Show and its spin-off, Mama's Family, and announced the Rose Bowl parade for 20 years. Additionally, she was a frequent guest of Jack Paar and Johnny Carson and appeared on innumerable game shows. She knows everyone in the business, although her affection for them one and all, while perhaps real, cloys after a time. This behind-the-scenes look at television since the late 1940s, with its dozens of photos, should delight fans.

White's portrayals have always seemed good-natured, whether she was playing Sue-Ann Nivins on The Mary Tyler Moore Show or Rose Nylund on The Golden Girls. In her entertaining and insightful autobiography, she comes off as upbeat and good-natured in real life. White started out in early television on a five-hour-a-day live show called Hollywood on Television and has had "steady" work ever since. Here she chronicles her experiences on many hit series and several short-lived series, plus her two marriages. She writes with particular care and poignancy about her second marriage to Allen Ludden, which lasted a blissful 18 years until Ludden's tragic and untimely death. White's love of friends, family, work, and animals comes shining through these pages, as does her high-energy pleasant personality. This Hollywood autobiography can be highly recommended for all public libraries.
