The surprising ''feud'' hint hidden in Betty White's memoir

Ah, the celebrity feud. Perhaps no phenomenon has sold more tabloids, or generated more clicks, than the old "he-said, she-said. We love learning which of our favorite stars mix like oil and water. Money has been made hand over fist in the wake of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford's infamous feud. There's even a whole TV show about it.

However, it's much harder to capitalize on a supposedly sour relationship when one half is a real class act. This is the case for Betty White, who once came close to speaking ill of a former co-worker in her 1995 memoir Here We Go Again. This was White's fourth book, and reviews from the era might lead readers to believe she had little of substance to contribute to her latest volume. But there was at least one passage that might have fans reading between the lines.

She had some interesting words to write about Cloris Leachman, who also starred in The Mary Tyler Moore Show with White. While the few lines aren't necessarily incendiary, they can certainly be interpreted as... subtly suspect.

"Cloris brings her own energy and tension with her and pours it out as she goes. Cloris may rehearse all week, then completely change her approach at the last minute on show night, which is disconcerting to those working with her but certainly keeps one's attention focused. There is no one quite like her."

Not exactly a "scorched earth" approach, but certainly consistent for a media-trained personality who has spent her entire life in the limelight, giving interviews that toed the company line
