Bette Midler joined forces with Chita Rivera and Rita Moreno for a performance of “America” from “West Side Story” at a Los Angeles benefit event. This collaboration brought together the original Broadway Anita (Chita Rivera), the film Anita (Rita Moreno), and the divine Miss M (Bette Midler) for a rendition that was as fun and campy as one could hope for.

The performance is remembered for its energy and humor, with Bette Midler a little rusty on her lyrics, adding to the charm of the occasion. It was a unique moment that celebrated the iconic song and the talents of these three entertainment legends.
