On AIDS and lack of Leadership circa 1991:“No matter what anyone is doing now, it’s not enough,” says Midler. “I have to admit at the moment I’m very disheartened at the lack of leadership. And I really do blame the White House. As the saying goes, the fish stinks from the head. Who do they care about? Maybe a couple of people in Europe, but certainly not Americans. If Watts went up in flames tomorrow, and everyone died, I don’t think they’d care. Such an incredible lack of humanity and compassion. It’s appalling.” (1991) – Bette Midler Read More

“Everything passes and everything changes. My thing is to encourage people to be interested in more than just what they hear on the radio. After all, the older you get, the less you want to have missed out on.” (1991, Chicago Sun Times) – Bette Midler

CANTON Tracy Brewer, a 47-year-old grandmother from Canton, took on the Wolverine, Batman, Spider-man, Darth Vader and the Terminator.

And she triumphed over them all Saturday with her portrayal of Winifred Sanderson, a character from the 1993 Disney film Hocus Pocus, who was played by Bette Midler.

She carried her massive leather book of spells and a magic broom (purchased from a Cracker Barrel store) that spun on the stage on its own. She made a subtle bow to the crowd and placed her finger on her cheek, gave a look that connected with the judges and then quickly exited the stage. Read More
