White spoke about his fascinating birthday plans during an interview and, to the delight of fans of his work, revealed news of his current project “Pet”.

“You probably didn’t ask, but I’ll tell you anyway,” said White. “What am I doing for my birthday? Running a mile every morning has been restricted by COVID, so I’m working to relaunch ‘The Pet Set’ and feed the two ducks that come to visit me every day. “

Referring to his 1970s show with celebrities and furry guests, “The Pet Set” will be re-released on DVD and streaming platforms by MPI Media Group on February 23, celebrating the show’s 50th anniversary.

Barnes and Noble

Betty White legitimately wrote the book about life, so you can ask her for a tip or two.

In his 2011 New York Times bestseller, “If You Ask Me: (Of course you won’t),” White shares his observations on everything from Hollywood to hair care. “In this sincere view of everything, from the unglamorous reality behind the red carpet cases to her beauty regime (‘I have no idea what color my hair is and I never intend to find out’), Betty White shares her observations about life, celebrity and love (for humans and animals). Full of photos, ‘If You Ask Me’ is funny, sweet and to the point – just like Betty, ”says the book’s description.

The book is available from Barnes & Noble in paperback or in an e-reader format for Nook devices. Be sure to check out your other books as well: “Here we go again: my life on television”, “Betty White in person” and “Betty and friends: my life at the zoo”.
