Not Busy Enough, Betty White to Also Write Two Books
By JULIE BOSMAN
Betty White may be 88 years old, but she’s certainly not finished acting. And she’s not finished writing books, either.
Ms. White — the “Hot in Cleveland” star who will also be seen on “Community,” and just about anywhere else that a television set or computer monitor is on — just signed a deal to write two books for G. P. Putnam’s Sons, the publisher announced on Wednesday. The first book, “Listen Up!,” is about “life lessons learned during her incredibly varied and long career in Hollywood, with an emphasis on the extraordinary past 15 years of the star’s life,” according to a statement, and is scheduled for release in spring 2011.
The second book, scheduled for publication in 2012, is called “The Zoo and I,” and will have stories about Ms. White and the animals at the Los Angeles Zoo. (She is a board member there and an animal rights advocate.)
She has written or co-authored five books. In a statement, Ms. White said, “Much as I love what I do for a living in show business, I love writing even more.”
