Description

This visual salute to the First Lady of Television spans Betty White's more than 80 years as a performer and star of such legendary series as The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Golden Girls.

Chronicling 100 highlights from the acting life and passions that have defined an entertainment career like no other, Betty White: 100 Remarkable Moments in an Extraordinary Life includes:

  • A foreword by actor Gavin MacLeod, who was part of The Mary Tyler Moore Show cast with Betty White
  • Over 100 photographs from her decades in comedy as well as a contestant on game shows including What's My Line?, Password, To Tell the Truth, and Match Game
  • Interviews with friends and colleagues, such as Carol Burnett and Candice Bergen


White's pioneering legacy extends back to the earliest days of TV in the 1950s, when she served as both producer and star of the sitcom Life with Elizabeth during an era that predated glass ceilings. The volume also vividly illustrates the beloved White's lifelong advocacy for animals as well as the masterful comic versatility she displayed even as she closed in on the century mark.

Revel in Betty White's talent, elegance, and spunk with this photographic retrospective of her life.

Each book in the 100 Remarkable Moments series is a stunning tribute to a different pop culture icon, visually chronicling 100 extraordinary events that define their legacy. Interviews with friends and colleagues, and over 100 magnificent photographs, combine to create an illustrated retrospective of achievements and contributions readers of all ages will enjoy. Also available: Betty White: 100 Remarkable Moments in an Extraordinary Life Hardcover Edition; Betty White: 100 Remarkable Moments in an Extraordinary Life 2nd Edition; Dolly Parton: 100 Remarkable Moments in an Extraordinary Life

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
