Betty White wanted to be a zookeeper when she was a little girl, but as those jobs weren't available to women, she decided to become an actress. By 1949, she was working on television, eventually staring in her own shows. She was a frequent guest on game shows, and even hosted Saturday Night Live. Her most famous roles were on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Golden Girls. 

I love Betty White so much, and this Big Little Golden Book biography is wonderful! AJ knew nothing about Betty, but was engaged with the story, and particularly excited when she read that Betty married Allen Ludden! A marvelous celebration of Betty's life! We also loved Margeaux Lucas' illustrations and the fun list of quotes at the end.
