Video: Bette Midler – Miss Otis Regrets – Diva Las Vegas – 1997
“Diva Las Vegas” was a glittering spectacle in which Bette Midler, the queen of sass and song, took the stage at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Bette wore sequin-like armor and belted out tunes with the gusto of a hurricane. She was part singer, part comedian, and all-around fabulous.
The show was a one-time wonder, captured on film for posterity. HBO unleashed it as a TV special, originally broadcast on January 18, 1997, and repeated on February 2, 1997. Bette Midler snagged the 1997 Primetime Emmy Award for Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program for her dazzling diva act.
