Review
In Bette, biographer George Mair tells how Bette Midler at 20 went from a pineapple factory worker in Hawaii to a regular gig in the Broadway hit, Fiddler on the roof in less than a year. Bette Midler blossomed into "The Divine Miss M", the diva once described as one of the "raunchiest and funniest live acts going. " Her movies range from the portrayal of the doomed Janis Joplin-esque character in The Rose to comedies like Down and Out in Beverly Hills and Ruthless People. Her many hit singles include The Rose, Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, Wind Beneath My Wings, and From a Distance. But there is another Bette Midler out of the spotlight: insecure, uncertain, vulnerable, overweight, never at ease with herself and frightened of relationships with men and money. Bette reveals the cruel relationships and family tragedies throughout her life. Bette examines the continuing appeal and loyalty between her and a vast audience of gay men. And, finally, it describes the great joy she's found in her unlikely marriage to Martin von Haselberg, A German commodity broker and performance artist. Bette Midler's instincts and courage vaulted her from obscurity to the top of the entertainment business. She's someone who has gone from a not-very-pretty, not-very-lucky teenager to one of the most sought after entertainers in the world today. -- Midwest Book Review
