One of my favorite movie stars, actresses and comedians of all time. Loving this salute and honor to the one and only. This visual book portrays Betty like no other and cherishes her beauty and memory of more than 80 years. Complete joy and entertainment.
One of my favorites of course is her starring in “Golden Girls”, but her career and acting life is remarkable! To see the photos of her throughout a lifespan back into the 50’s is awe inspiring. This photographic retrospective is of elegance just as Betty portrays. Her achievements and contributions are combined with photographs to not only honor and pay tribute to her exquisite life but to allow us all to celebrate who she was, an icon.
Betty White was best known in her later years as ditsy Rose Nyland in Golden Girls, a sweet, innocent lady over whose head go caustic remarks from her roommates. In reality Betty was clever and sharp witted and this book gives the reader a real insight into her personality through a series of stories about an actress whose career spanned more than 70 years. It's truly the type of book you will read over and over again.
Golden Girls is one of those shows that I can keep on watching once a year, if not more. It never gets old, and the humor is so finely written sometimes that it keeps you entertained. Betty White will always be a treasure and an icon, especially for me.
Full review to be posted soonish.
I would like to thank the publisher and netgalley for providing me a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
This book talks about her life wonderfully. It is well written and interesting. Whether you are a fan or not I am sure you will enjoy this book. It is not only well written it is well designed too. The photos are wonderful. It is a full history through photos along with great informational details. You find her entire life chronicled. It is fantastic and after reading this book you feel like you know Betty White much better. It is a book as interesting as she was.
From Password to Sue Ellen Nivens to Rose Nylund to Elka Ostrovsky to her countless other beloved characters, Betty White was a national treasure and a fixture on our televisions for decades. Betty White: 100 Remarkable Moments in an Extraordinary Life by Ray Richmond is a fun look back at her amazing life and career. Full of gorgeous photographs and information about Betty's personal and professional life, as well as her legacy, this is not a wordy traditional biography, this book just focuses on the most pivotal moments and events in Betty’s life, making it a quick, easy but still informative read.
This is the perfect book for anyone interested in pop culture, television history… really just ANYONE, because honestly, who doesn’t love Betty White, right?
Betty White was an amazing woman and this just made her more of a national treasure in my eyes! RIP Betty
I love biographies and memoirs and this just made me feel happy. Although Betty sadly passed before her 100th birthday, this collection of great moments helps remember just how wonderful of a person she was and the best memories she gave us as fans.
I’m so glad I got my hands on this book. I may not have known a lot about Betty White but I have enjoyed everything I’ve seen her in. I’ve also read her memoir and learned she’s a huge animal lover especially dogs. She was a great human being and she deserves this wonder book dedicated to her.
This was such a great book about one of the worlds greatest actresses, Betty White. There were so many beautiful pictures of her in this book. I learned a lot of things about her I didn’t know like she ate a hotdog almost everyday for lunch!
Betty White was not only an amazing actress but an amazing person as well. She was funny and caring and we’re all going to miss her!
Thank you NetGalley for this arc in return for an honest review.
I grew up with Betty White on my TV set every Saturday night in Golden Girls. Oh how I loved that show. I've seen her in many things since but nothing will compare to those Golden Saturdays!
I loved reading this book about Betty's history. I had no idea she will be turning 100 in 2022 but I guess that tracks with me looking a whole lot older when I peek in the mirror!
If you adore Betty like I do, or would just like to learn more about how she changed the TV world for all women that came after her, definitely pick this one up.
A visual salute to a marvellous woman. This book follows her journey from birth to beginner actress to national treasure and everything in between. The photos that have been chosen for this book are also perfect and you can see just how beautiful she was, and still is.
Betty White was an amazing woman. This book really captures her through her life. The photos are fabulous and the the stories in it are wonderful. Any true fan of Betty's must read this book!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this book.
This book was great for just the beautiful pictures of Betty White alone, but the text was great too. The book is well researched and well put together. This is a beautiful book and would make a great gift for anyone who is a fan of Betty.
What an awesome book about a legend. I finished it on the 31st December here in South Africa and woke up the next morning to learn of Ms White's passing.
She was a legend in her time and this book just highlighted some of the more remarkable moments in her life.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me to read this book..
If you don’t already love Betty White, you will after reading this book. She is one to always amaze. I’m so glad I’ve been given the chance to read and reviews this wonderful book.
With Ms. White approaching her centennial (100th) birthday, this book is a great testimony of a life well lived.
Cheers to you Betty White!
Betty White is a remarkable woman and this book actually does her justice! Full of pictures and wonderful stories, this is a book to treasure, just like we do the woman! I enjoyed this book so much and had a VERY hard time putting it down!
I thought I knew a lot about Betty White but boy was I wrong. As a kid growing up in the 80s, I watched Ms. White on golden girls (then subsequently other shows and movies) I had no idea how far back into television history she went. This was a wonderful read and the pictures are awesome.
Who doesn't love Betty White? This book was just a touch of her achievements and moments. It would be a great coffee table book. Not a book to read all at one time, but good over time.
4 amazing stars!
Betty White is a beautiful soul and fantastic entertainer. Her life story is an enjoyable read.
I voluntarily read an advanced copy.
Betty White: 100 Remarkable Moments in an Extraordinary Life
by Ray Richmond
Publication Date: 07 Dec 2021
Synopsis:
"Betty White: 100 Remarkable Moments in an Extraordinary Life is a visual salute to the First Lady of Television, spanning her 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.
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."
