Seven-time Emmy winner Betty White’s wit and wisdom take center stage as she tackles topics like friendship, romantic love, aging, television, fans, love for animals, and the brave new world of celebrity. Drawing from a lifetime of lessons learned, If You Ask Me mixes her thoughtful observations with humorous stories from a seven-decade career in Hollywood. Longtime fans and new fans alike will relish Betty’s candid take on everything from the unglamorous reality behind redcarpet affairs, to her beauty regimen, to the Facebook campaign that helped persuade her to host Saturday Night Live despite having turned down the hosting job three times over the course of her career. Featuring all-new material, with a focus on the past fifteen years of her life, If You Ask Me is funny, sweet, and to the point—just like Betty.

Betty White, winner of seven Emmy awards, provides a series of patchwork essays and vignettes that exhibit often self-deprecating wisdom gained over a life that is approaching 90 years. Whether exploring friendship, television sitcoms, or her profound love of animals, White is positive and highly engaging. There's a special talent that effective actors have for projecting their personalities through the microphone, and White is among the best in her warm narration. There is some minor repetition of ideas and anecdotes among the chapters, and those who have heard her earlier memoir, HERE WE GO AGAIN: My Life in Television, will undoubtedly recognize components. But this effort is, nonetheless, an enjoyable listening experience. W.A.G. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
