When you think talent, you think Bette Midler.
The singer-songwriter, actress, comedian, and producer, is a hugely popular celebrity — she made major waves in music and film in the ’70s and ’80s, and is still beloved to this day!
And for good reason — Bette is incredibly talented. Not only is she a spectacular musical artist, releasing 14 albums since 1970, she’s also starred in Broadway shows and a variety of movies and television shows.
Bette, who was born in 1945, rose to prominence in 1970, and made her motion picture debut in the movie The Rose in 1979.
After that first film, for which she won a Golden Globe, she continued starring in hit movies, including Beaches, The First Wives Club, and Gypsy.
Over the course of her career so far, Bette has won four Golden Globes, three Emmy Awards, three Grammy Awards, and two Tony Awards.
As if that weren’t enough, Bette also became a mother in 1986, and raised her daughter Sophie to be an incredible young woman.

Bette Midler, who began her career in 1970, is a famous singer-songwriter, actress, comedian and producer.
She has always been a beloved star, even though she isn’t in the spotlight as much anymore.
In 1984, Bette married Martin von Haselberg, one half of a performance art duo.
The couple has been happily married since they tied the knot in the 1980s.
In 1986, Bette gave birth to their only child, a daughter, Sophie.
Growing up, Sophie was always interested in her mother’s acting career.
After high school, Sophie attended Yale University, where she studied sociology and East Asian studies.
After graduating and working for a few years, she returned to Yale to study at the drama school.
In 2014, Sophie started her own acting career, following in her mother’s footsteps.
Her debut performance was at a theater in NYC in October 2014, in a play called Billy and Ray.
After her theater debut, Sophie was cast in Woody Allen’s 2015 film, Irrational Man.
Since Sophie entered the spotlight, though, people have noticed something interesting about her appearance: she looks exactly like her mother.
Bette Midler’s distinctive features — her angular cheekbones, iconic nose, inset eyes, and large smile — have definitely been passed down to her daughter.
Do you see the resemblance between the two?
