Betty White: The First 90 Years

by Andrew E. Stoner

Betty White: The First 90 Years takes a fan-based look at one of America's most loved and most endearing stars and if the first nine decades of her life are any indication there is a lot of fun still to come.

Look inside and roam Betty s roles from her snarky, unforgettable appearances as Sue Ann Nivens on the ground-breaking Mary Tyler Moore Show to her naïve air-head Rose Nylund, one fourth of the mega-hit sitcom, The Golden Girls.

A whole new generation of fans know Betty only from her appearances on Saturday Night Live, Boston Legal, Hot in Cleveland, or her scene-stealing ways on the big screen, including Lake Placid and The Proposal. Betty Whites career spans from the very start of television to the phenomena now known as social media. Inside you will find all the facts you would ever want to have to stump some of her younger fans who think they have just discovered Betty.

Mixed in with the significant accomplishments of this TV pioneer are a lot of laughs and fun memories from her literally thousands of hours of TV appearances. Whether it is Sue Ann Nivens how to get the man advice, to one of Rose Nylunds St. Olaf stories, you will enjoy spending time with the last of America s truly Golden Girls!

Not worth reading. He says the same thing several times. She has accomplished so much after her 90th birthday! This author has never met her. He is exploiting her.

As much as I love Betty White, this book is written by a fan who has never met her. It reads like an extra long Wiki entry about Betty. Very repetitive. Very disappointing.

I have read other biographies of Betty White -- this one does not measure up. The author admits that he has never met Ms. White.

The book contains detailed reviews of each episode of several of her TV series, which can be somewhat boring to read, with much more emphasis on her later career and not much on her early years in radio and TV.

Starts off well but it seems like it runs out of ideas and ends up just listing Betty's programmes etc. Still interesting reading in the main and did enjoy it
