- Reviews -

How to Be Golden is as delightful as its subject matter, Betty White. Even as a lifelong student of Betty, I learned a lot, and was inspired along the way by her life so fully lived--Jennifer Keishin Armstrong, New York Times bestselling author of "Seinfeldia," "Mary and Lou and Rhoda and Ted," and "When Women Invented Television" Anyone who grew up watching Betty White on The Mary Tyler Moore Show or Hot in Cleveland or, of course, The Golden Girls, knows her ageless energy, beauty, sweet demeanor and bawdy humor. This book makes it clear her pioneering ways in the world of television and in the characters she plays are no joke -her humor, resilience, and refusal to live up to tired stereotypes at all stages of her career prove her to be an inspirational role model for all of us. --Lauren Marino, author of "What Would Dolly Do? " and "Bookish Broads" Everyone loves Betty White and after reading Paula Bernstein' s How to Be Golden it' d be impossible not to absolutely idolize the sitcom star.

One of the quintessential stars of any age shines through in a loving story you' ll want to return to as you navigate life. A definite golden joy on its own! --Kristen Lopez, IndieWire TV Editor I had no idea that the same woman who often played sweet, naive characters on TV was actually a brave feminist trailblazer in real life. This fun book captures Betty' s positive outlook on life, and explains the reason she continues to be such an icon. --Melissa Maerz, author of "Alright, Alright, Alright: The Oral History of Richard Linklater' s Dazed and Confused" If you' re looking for a new spiritual guide, have you considered Betty White, patron saint of common sense and double entendres?
