Purchase options and add-ons

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 fifteen years of her life, If You Ask Me is funny, sweet, and to the point-just like Betty White.

She Is Simply the Best
Sometimes you just need a smile! 🙃🙂I love Betty White as most of us do. Did you know she has a few books? This one consists of very short chapters about her advice, her take on situations and her experiences. It is a quick, feel good read! .This came out when she was 89! Such an amazing inspiration to know that age is just a number it has never held her back. The amazing Betty White just turned 97 in January!! I know this Golden Girl will be with all of us forever 💖 .

Feeling nostalgic I decided to start reading one of Betty’s book. It’s how I imagine all her conversations to be.

To know her is to love her. Betty will always be the Rose in my garden. For years I have enjoyed watching her at her craft. Reading her behind the scenes is such a treat. I came away with so much and truly did enjoy the ride.

The book barely covers any real details about her life. There are some pictures, but most of it is just fluff. I do not recommend.

Loved this book and could NOT put it down. Finished it in one reading and that would be my only remark, that it was not nearly long enough... but it was brilliant. Like Betty's other books this one was like having a one-on-one sit down chat with Betty herself. Her takes on everything were heartfelt, hysterical and full of love, like the lady herself. It made me miss her even more, but what a remarkable, long and wonderful life she led. This book is like an extra gift from her. I love you Betty...

A little disappointed. Yes a paperback, but quite a flimsy light paperback compared to what I've bought previously. I actually didn't want to give it as a gift, it felt cheap. A fantastic option to just read yourself, but not the kind of quality you'd want to gift.

...disguised as Betty White Shares anecdotes and the wisdom of (back then) almost 90 years. It is a refreshing experience to read this, to laugh with this special Golden Girl, and to think about the truth behind so many of her words. I am glad I bought this book, and hope for many more to come from Betty White. Thank you, for being a writer!
