Q. Is there
still anything
between Peter
Riegert and
Bette Midler,
or is that whole
affair caput?
A. Riegert,
35, says he and
the Divine Miss M are still close
friends but he doesn’t go into details of what ended their three
years together. “It was a great time
when I met her. I was in a show, I
was working, I was making $110 a
week. I was in love… Bette is her
own invention. I was just somebody
who shared some time with her …
Everybody has people along the
way who make you bigger and better, and she was one of them.
