In the Fall of 1954, a multi-talented broadcaster, who would ,decades later,become America's most beloved Golden Girl, was already a major player in what we look back upon nostalgically, as televsion's Golden Age.
The Betty White Show on
NBC-TV starred the versatile actress,host and singer in a daily 30 minute talk show , accompanied by musical conductor Frank DeVol.
The breezy, informal offering was produced
LIVE in living monochrome at the NBC Studios in Burbank. Her producer was Don Fedderson, who brought American television viewers a wide range of cathrode ray tube confections, ranging from
MY THREE SONS to
FAMILY AFFAIR and
THE LAWRENCE WELK SHOW.
By 1954, Ms. White was a video veteran, having hosted one of the first,
LIVE, unrehearsed and unstructured shows on Los Angeles Television. In this rare episode, from the
FOXEEMA YOU TUBE site, the affable Ms. White sings, talks, leads to commercials and introduces a canine cameo by one of early, network television's most beloved stars.
ENJOY!!!!!
