Bette Sighting: Elaine’s

Bette Midler and husband Martin von Haselberg commanded a table of eight Wednesday night at Elaine’s.

Bette looked great. She’s so tiny that you might miss her, but she has a wide, distinctive smile.

When I asked her how her daughter Sophie was enjoying school and what she was working on, Midler got a little twinkle in her eye. She held her hand out like a microphone.

“But, how are you doing? What are you doing? How’s your family?” she asked.

I may ask her to fill in for me during a vacation week.
