Publisher's summary

It-girl Betty White delivers a hilarious, slyly profound take on love, life, celebrity, and everything in between.

Drawing from a lifetime of lessons learned, seven-time Emmy winner Betty White's wit and wisdom take center stage as she tackles topics like friendship, romantic love, aging, television, fans, love for animals, and the brave new world of celebrity. If You Ask Me mixes her thoughtful observations with humorous stories from a seven- decade career in Hollywood. Longtime fans and new fans alike will relish Betty's candid take on everything from her rumored crush on Robert Redford (true) to her beauty regimen ("I have no idea what color my hair is and I never intend to find out") to the Facebook campaign that helped persuade her to host Saturday Night Live despite her having declined the hosting job three times already.

Featuring all-new material, with a focus on the past 15 years of her life, If You Ask Me is funny, sweet, and to the point - just like Betty White.

Critic reviews

“Reads like a chat with the beloved star.” (The Denver Post)

“A breezy patchwork of musings on aging, acting, poker (she plays a monthly game) and pet ownership.” (The New York Times)

Featured Article: The Best Audiobooks Under 3 Hours


Audiobooks do not have to be long to provide a great listener experience. In fact, audiobooks as short as under three hours can sometimes be even better than longer listens: they require less of a time commitment, they make it easy to digest information, and they allow you to stay entertained during events of limited duration, like a road trip. And since each book is so short, you can listen to the ones you really love over and over again. Want an immersive audiobook that doesn’t take weeks to finish? Featuring great stories and strong performances, here are the best audiobooks under three hours.

Betty is just being Betty

I absolutely love that Betty was the narrator of her book. Her book is amazing to the point that I could not stop and had to finish listening in one sitting. LOL I never do that.
Betty’s gift for story telling, providing her own thoughts, and fears makes any reader engaged to listen to more.
Sadly this beautiful spirit has moved on to the next chapter but I know she brings happiness wherever she goes. Thank You Betty

So wonderful.

I listened to this on a long car ride to & from a family funeral.
I’m 55 years old, & my 80 year old Mom was my passenger & co-listener. We both laughed A LOT, & we both had tears at certain points, especially when Betty spoke of her beloved cat, “Patsy”. Mom & I just lost our own beloved pup named, “Patsy”, whom we shared for weeks at a time, at eachother’s homes. Just hearing Betty speak so lovingly of all her pets was comforting.

The entire book was so well written & spoken.

We will surely listen to this one many more times.

Rest in Paradise, Betty. We believe, just like you do, that Heaven couldn’t possibly be Paradise, if our fur babies aren’t there to greet us! We know they are !!

Love Betty White

Loved the book and more so that Betty read it. Love the stories and how awesome and real she was!!!! Loved her in Golden Girls and need to see more of the things she was in. What a bright light she was and she will be missed on TV.
