Bette Midler On Reducing Her Extravagant Dimensions: “Slimming down for the great public, you know. They don’t like them robust. Besides, I looked like a house. I didn’t care for the way I looked. I couldn’t get into any of my clothes, plus I saw how I looked on the Great Tube. It was terrifying. I finally had enough. I lost 15 to 20 pounds.” (Eugene Register-Guard ”“ Nov 19, 1977)
