Tuesday, December 18, 1984
Flamboyant singer-actress Bette Midler, and her husband were planning to leave for a Hawaiian honeymoon this week following a wedding her publicist said was low-key because “she didn’t want a zoo.”
Miss Midler, 38, married Martin von Haselberg* a performance artist and commodities trader, over the weekend in a private civil ceremony. Bob Gibson of The Group, her publicity representative, said in Los Angeles.
“They didn’t want a big Hollywood wedding. She didn’t want a zoo.
