From 1939 to 2021, actress Betty White was one of the most beloved performers in the entertainment industry. Adults probably know her from fan-favorite television shows like The Golden Girls and The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and kids know her from blockbuster movies like Toy Story 4. But many people don't know how much of a trailblazer she really was, including being one of the first woman to write, produce, and star in her own show! Over her decades-long career, Betty White won Emmy awards, was named an honorary mayor of Hollywood, earned a star on the Walk of Fame, and set the Guinness World Record for woman with the longest TV career ever. And off-screen, Betty advocated for animal rights, racial justice, and LGBTQIA+ rights.
In this exuberant illustrated biography from the Who Was...? series and its Who HQ Now format, kids will learn all about the remarkable life of actress and comedian Betty White, and how her influence lingers on in TV and movies.
