Bette Midler’s career has spanned almost 60 years. She turned 80 this past December and is still making headlines. Midler built a career that crossed film, music and Broadway with standout performances that became part of music culture history. She earned two Oscar nominations and won three Grammy Awards. Her stage, concert, film, and charitable work have kept her in the spotlight, especially when she returned to Broadway in Hello Dolly, which earned her a Tony Award for Best Actress.
The enthusiasm around her shows no sign of slowing. Social media is filled with tributes that praise her humor, racy and bawdy much of the time; her energy; and the unmistakable spark she brings to every public appearance.
