Publisher Description

A memoir of Betty White's first five decades on television—as irreverent and irresistible as the beloved actress herself

Betty White first appeared on television in 1949 and has gone on to have one of the most amazing careers in TV history, starring in shows such as Life with Elizabeth, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and The Golden Girls, among many others. She is one of the hardest-working actresses of any era, and her sense of humor and perennial optimism have seen her through half a century of industry changes and delighted millions of fans.

Now, during Betty’s sixty-first year on screen, a year in which she has enjoyed a huge resurgence of popularity, her 1995 memoir makes a comeback too. Here We Go Again is a behind-the-scenes look at Betty’s career from her start on radio to her first show, Hollywood on Television, to several iterations of The Betty White Show and much, much more.

Packed with wonderful anecdotes about famous personalities and friendships, stories of Betty’s off-screen life, and the comedienne’s trademark humor, this deliciously entertaining book will give readers an entrée into Betty’s fascinating life, confirming yet again why we can’t get enough of this funny lady.

"Two words: Betty. White. What more needs to be said? The woman is awesome. This is an old book she she wrote in 1995, but who cares? It talks about her life in television. I had not idea she had been married 3 times. you go girl. And that her name is Betty. It is not short for Elizabeth. Who knew? In any case, if you are a fan of Betty's, or the Golden Girls, or of awesome, you need to read this book. She is one of my favorite people in the world and the book is just plain good."

    " For someone who claims she can't remember much, Betty White managed to write a memoir filled with excruciating detail-mostly about friend's and acquaintance's pets. The jokes repeat themselves and the book filled to the brim with arbitrary facts. Great read for someone looking for a book on the history of television. If you want to see Betty White at her finest, look for Golden Girl's repeats, Hot in Cleveland, or other appearances because it is NOT in this book. "

    " I was hoping this book was more like her others, with short chapters. But it was kind of long-winded. What kept me hooked was Betty's ever-present sense of humor. She gets wittier with age, and I enjoyed learning about her life in showbiz. I think we could all learn a thing from her. "

    " Interesting look into the evolution of TV and some fun memories of Betty. But, since I wasn't familiar with how it was when TV began and many of the actors and/or radio stars she mentioned, it took me a LONG time to get through this book. Betty White is great, though! "
