“…Dravis offers us a very human picture of the reporter conducting interviews. At times it is entertaining, as for example when she reflects on her "bad hair day" when meeting Clint Eastwood. At other times, it is poignant, as when she reflects on her meeting with Senator Ted Kennedy years before his prolonged struggle with cancer. But in all her anecdotes, Dravis offers readers a picture of how the interviewer, far from being a neutral questioner, is affected by the meeting with her subjects.” - Fritz Ward, Southern California, school teacher and avid day-hiker

Review by: Nicholas Antinozzi on Dec. 26, 2011 :
Bestselling author John Locke sums up Betty quite well in his Foreward. She is a relentless, gracious, amazing woman; a crisp writer who flawlessly weaves her own humble, humorous story into her narrative. Star Struck is a quick, satisfying read that will appeal to all while giving us a glimpse into Betty's incredible life as a journalist and perhaps more importantly, as a single mother to six children. Two thumbs up on aa great read and a life well-lived. I'm heading to 1106 Grand Boulevard, I hear its an incredible ride.
