Betty White, winner of seven Emmy awards, provides a series of patchwork essays and vignettes that exhibit often self-deprecating wisdom gained over a life that is approaching 90 years. Whether exploring friendship, television sitcoms, or her profound love of animals, White is positive and highly engaging. There’s a special talent that effective actors have for projecting their personalities through the microphone, and White is among the best in her warm narration. There is some minor repetition of ideas and anecdotes among the chapters, and those who have heard her earlier memoir, HERE WE GO AGAIN: My Life in Television, will undoubtedly recognize components. But this effort is, nonetheless, an enjoyable listening experience. W.A.G. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
