White, Betty: Here We Go Again (My
Life in Television)
"America's queen of television shares her fascinating life story!
Here is Betty White -- a woman who has been
on television forever! is generally how Betty
White is introduced. And quite accurately, too,
since she first appeared in 1949 when both she
and television were rank beginners. Since then,
she has had one of the most amazing careers in
TV, winning five Emmy awards, creating such unforgettable
characters as Sue Ann Nivens and Rose Nylund, and
appearing in a host of television classics from
1952's Life with Elizabeth to The Mary
Tyler Moore Show and The Golden Girls. Here
We Go Again gives an overview of television's
golden era, packed full of wonderful anecdotes
about the many famous personalities with whom Betty
has worked. It also gives a fascinating behind-the-scenes
look at television over five decades, from her
first show, Hollywood on Television which ran live
five and a half hours a day six days a week (33
hours per week!), to Betty's current television
work. In addition, she talks about her personal
life -- how her hectic career caused strain in
her relationships and how she finally found happiness
with her third husband, the late talk show host
Allen Ludden.
As warm and funny as its author, Here We Go Again will thrill
her many fans and delight all of those who are interested in the
history of America's most popular form of entertainment.
Five-time Emmy-winner Betty White enchants readers with her life
story--and provides a behind-the-scenes look at television, from
the early days to the present, offering often hilarious anecdotes
about such stars as Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, Allen Ludden, Merv
Griffin, Cher, Bea Arthur, and Raymond Burr."

Cotter, Bill: The Wonderful World
of Disney Television (A Complete History)
"Accompanied by black-and-white photographs and statistics, a unique chronicle
follows all of Disney's television programs and includes complete schedules of
all broadcasts, seasonal highlights, behind-the-scenes stories, plot synopses,
and much more. (...) A major part of my childhood was watching Disney television
shows - The Mickey Mouse Club, Davy Crockett, Zorro and more. Years later this
led to my working for Disney, and now, a book that describes every episode of
every Disney series [such as the Golden Girls]. It begins back in 1944
when Walt was first thinking about getting into television, and includes today's
hits like Home Improvement and Ellen. The 10+ years of research
included total access to The Disney Archives and watching more than 4,000 hours
of television. It was a true labor of love, and a great chance to relive my childhood.
Now, with The Wonderful World of Disney back on Sunday night, the tradition
started by Walt continues."

Gold, Andrew: All This And Heaven Too
"This was my personal favorite of all my albums, as a whole, and contained
another US hit (Thank You For Being A Friend), as well as 3 UK hits, including
my biggest in the UK, Never Let Her Slip Away. Brock and I had great fun
that year. Thank You For Being A Friend was later used as THE GOLDEN
GIRLS Theme. Some of the Eagles came down during the recording of Never
Let Her Slip Away, and you may notice they ripped the beginning of my song
for Heartache Tonight the next year. Lucky we're friends..grrrr"
