Ten Days of Betty: 8 Days Left


















Today on Day 3 of the 10 Days of Betty here on SLWMAC, i present to you Betty White's complete Oral History, as told by BW herself to her (classic archetype of an) agent of 30+ years. It is VERY long, about two and a half hours or so, but it is also very rich in detail and i think it gives the viewer a great deal of insight into Hollywood, as well as to the woman herself. Stretching from her childhood all the way into her later career, with time spent discussing virtually everyone she has ever worked with. it's really something. there's one of these oral histories with Bea Arthur, too. i'll probably post that sometime in the future. it's been about a year since she passed, so maybe i'll do that soon.

The first of the last four clips is Betty discussing famous skits she did with Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show. The clips following that are the skits in question.
