REVIEW
Betty White was a natural entertainer, she promoted of racial harmony on TV, a champion of animal rights, and a supporter of LGBTQ+ rights. She was an all-time great comedian in her own rights and influenced generation of fans. Her notable roles were the role of Sue Ann Nivens in The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Rose Nylund on The Golden Girls. White was known for her work on animal welfare working with many organizations including the Los Angeles Zoo, The Morris Animal Foundation, and African Wildlife Foundation. She was on the board of directors of the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association, and also served as its commissioner. The Betty White Challenge (punctuated with the hashtag #BettyWhiteChallenge) proved to be monumentally success after her demise in 2021, a viral push to donate $5 to any animal organization raised $12.7 million. In 1954, on her variety show called The Betty White Show, allowed the performance by Arthur Duncan, an African American tap dancer, which strongly oppose by many Southern States, but Betty did not retreat. In 2018, White recalled threats to take the show off-air There are numerous biographies about Betty White and this book highlights her career. There are over one hundred photographs, some black & white and the rest in color. One of my favorites is the 1930 B&W picture of NBC Radio City Building on Hollywood Blvd close to Graumann Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, and some of her pictures with known celebrities.
