NEW YORK (AP) – Bette Midler told interviewer Connie Chung that life in the fast lane isn’t for her.
“I just do what I think you oughta do,” she said in a taped segment for Saturday Night with Connie Chung that is to be broadcast this weekend.
“I lead a moderate life, I volunteer. I do charities. And I know I sound really square because I don’t drive a fast car and burn a lot of fossil fuel.”
When Chung mentioned that Midler brought $300 million in gross revenues to Disney Studios with five films, Midler joked:
“What, that much? Ill kill ’em: Where’s mine? You know they never give you a nickel at the end. Well, sometimes they give, you a watch, you know, it has ^Mickey Mouse on it.
