Betty White: The First Lady of Television

TVC 560.4: Television critic, columnist, and entertainment journalist Ray Richmond joins Ed for an early 100th birthday salute to entertainment legend Betty White. Ray’s latest book, Betty White: 100 Remarkable Moments in an Extraordinary Life, provides a visual salute to the eighty-year performing career of the First Lady of Television, including her lifelong passion for animals; the various glass ceilings that White broke as a performer and as a producer during the first decade of television as we know it; her legacy on such TV game shows as Password, What’s My Line?, and Match Game; her skills in unscripted television (including her own talk show, The Pet Set, and her years hosting NBC’s coverage of both the Tournament of Roses Parade and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade); and more. Betty White: 100 Remarkable Moments in an Extraordinary Life becomes available wherever books are sold beginning Tuesday, Dec. 7. Want to advertise/sponsor our show?
