Bette Midler On Sophie: “Sophie’s so smart she speaks German and Mandarin and studied and lived in China for a while. Now she’s back and has just graduated from Yale drama school. She’s going to be an actress. What a thrill! She’s a real good person, too. I think what we did right was that we paid attention and we listened. We let go of our preconceived notions and we treated her as though she had worth and that what she was saying was right. We’re so proud of her.” (Jewish Chronicle, 2014)
