Still absolutely stunning, an exceptional woman of immense talent and ambition, the inimitable Betty White now tells all about the golden years of television and her wacky, wonderful life in front of the camera. . .and behind it.

From her early days as the star of one of TV's first chat shows to her unforgettable roles in 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' and 'The Golden Girls,' Betty White brings us the personal side of workin on TV with the biggest stars in the business.

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. (Aug.)
