How do we love thee, Betty White? Let us count the ways: Emmy Award-winning actor, comedian, animal activist, national treasure, unofficial dimples hall-of-famer, and Best Spoken Word Album GRAMMY Award winner for her 2011 audiobook memoir, If You Ask Me. If you ask us, there’s no better way to celebrate what would have been this first lady of television’s 100th birthday (get the confetti ready for January 17th!) than to listen to her inimitable voice and hear stories told by Betty herself.

Whether exploring friendship, television sitcoms, or her profound love of animals, White is positive and highly engaging. There’s a special talent that effective actors have for projecting their personalities through the microphone, and White is among the best in her warm narration.AudioFile
