I just discovered Bette's passing and am so sorry to learn she is gone. My first job out of college was at TV Guide working for Bette. One of my favorite jobs ever. To this day I can see Bette-- larger than life-- and hear her very high heels clicking down the hallway.

I am so sorry to hear of Bette's passing. She was an amazing woman. She had a passion and excitement for everything she did. She will be sorely missed. Both Conni and I will keep her and her family in our prayers.
