Bette Midler On Her Husband Martin: My husband, he’s something. Did you see that HBO special with him? He did a terrific job, though some people just didn’t get it. I’d like to take more time with him. I’ve worked steadily for four years now. I’m overweight, I’ve got bags under my eyes, and I miss my daughter Sophie. Enough.” (Reading Eagle, December 24, 1988) – Bette Midler
