This video explores how Bette Midler and the Divine Miss M became the toast of the Continental Baths in the 1970s. How that persona thrilled audiences around the world and inspired roles in films like “The Rose”, “Beaches”, “Hocus Pocus”, as well as Bette’s triumphant Broadway return in “Hello Dolly”. This video is great and should be watched.







Wow! That may be the best one-hour recap of Bette’s career to grace us. Thank you for sharing!
And on a more personal note, Mister D, I hope you’re feeling better, and your recovery is on the road to being complete. Every absence is felt, as you are always in my thoughts. All the best!!
