[SPOILER]Childhood and Family:
Daughter of Fred Midler (housepainter, died late 1980s) and Ruth Midler (died late 1980s), Bette Davis Midler was born on December 1, 1945, in New Jersey, but grew up in Honolulu, Hawaii. The third child of the family, Bette has two older sisters, Susan Midler (mental-health officer) and Judith Midler (died in 1968), and a younger brother named Daniel Midler (born mentally impaired).
Bette Midler, whose nickname is The Divine Miss M, has always loved singing and acting. As a teenager, she was part of a folk singing trio that toured Hawaiian army bases. After graduated from Honolulu's Radford High School in 1963, Bette briefly attended a drama school at the University of Hawaii. However, she dropped out of college after only one year of studying. She also studied acting at the Herbert Berghof Studio in New York.
During Bette's early years in New York, she did various jobs, which included working as a go-go dancer in a Union City, New Jersey club, a hatcheck girl, a glove saleswoman at Stern's department store and a typist at Columbia University.
Off screen, Bette married German-born performance artist Martin Von Haselberg (born in 1949) on December 16, 1984, after just three months of dating. Two years later, the couple welcomed their daughter, Sophie Frederica Alohilani Von Haselberg (born on November 14, 1986) into the world.
The Wind Beneath My Wings
Career:
Bette Midler got her start as an actress in the 1960s with an unknown role on the television series "The Edge of Night." She then moved to the big screen when she got an unaccredited part as a passenger in Hawaii (1966). After the film, she flew to New York to become a stage actress and landed her first professional onstage role in "Miss Nefertiti Regrets" (1966), then played the lead role of Tzeitel in the Broadway production of "Fiddler on the Roof" (1967). She stayed with the role for three years. In 1974, Midler was honored with a Special Tony Award for her great contribution to Broadway.
While pursuing a stage career, Midler also began appearing as a singer in various New York cabarets, as well as New York City's Continental Bathhouse with accompanist Barry Manilow. Her performances caught the eye of Atlantic Records which signed her to their label in the year of 1971. Working with Manilow, Midler gained notice with her debut album titled The Divine Miss M (1972), which remained on the Billboard's album chart for over one year, climbed toward the top 10 and finally received platinum certification. Her second studio album, Bette Midler, was launched in 1973. Like its predecessor, her self-titled album was also well received and she won her first Grammy for Best New Artist in 1973.
The following year, Midler received her first important film role as Virgin Mary in The Thorn (1974), but went back to the small screen to provide her voice for Woody The Spoon in the TV series "Vegetable Soup" (1976). She then released the 1976's Songs For The New Depression, but it only peaked at the Top 30. Midler's follow up albums, Live At Last (1977) and Broken Blossom (1977), did even worse. However, Midler turned heads for her work in Bette Midler: Ol' Red Hair Is Back (1978, TV), in which she nabbed an Emmy for Outstanding Special-Comedy, Variety or Music. Her sixth album, Thighs and Whispers, was released in 1979, but it also failed to break the best-selling charts. In 1979, she was also seen on Broadway in "Bette! Divine Madness."
After five years away from film, Midler again attracted attention with her first starring role as hard living rock singer Mary Rose Foster in director Mark Rydell's The Rose (1979), a film loosely based on late rock icon Janis Joplin's life. Her spectacular acting handed her two Golden Globe Awards for Best New Female Star of the Year and Best Actress in a Motion Picture (Comedy or Musical), as well as received a nomination at the Academy Awards. In addition to acting, Midler also sang for the soundtracks of the film. The Rose soundtrack (1979) sold more than a million copies, while the movie's title theme track reached No. 3 on the charts. She took home her second Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Performance-Female in 1980.
Midler followed up the Rose with the 1980's Divine Madness, a wild in-concert performance filmed at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. Though the album was certified platinum, it only peaked at No. 34 on the Billboard Chart. In 1982, Midler costarred with Ken Wahl for director Don Siegal's hit Jinxed! (1982, played Bonita Friml). After the film, Midler returned to her studio and released her ninth album titled No Frills (1983), which spawned no hits. Midler's next album, Mud Will Be Flung Tonight, hit the music shelves in 1985, and was honored with an American Comedy Award for Funniest Performance on a Record. She was also seen acting in the television movie David Letterman's Holiday Film Festival (1985).
In 1986, Midler reappeared on the silver screen when director Paul Mazursky cast her as the leading role of Barbara Whiteman, opposite Nick Nolte and Richard Dreyfuss, in the blockbuster smash comedy Down and Out in Beverly Hills (1986). As the film became a hit, Midler was promoted as one of the successful comedian actresses in Hollywood. She went on to take roles in such comedy films as Ruthless People (1986), portraying loathsome wife Barbara Stone imprisoned by her scoundrel husband (played by Danny DeVito), The Lottery (1987) and Outrageous Fortune (1987). Midler netted an American Comedy for Funniest Actress in a Motion Picture (Leading Role) for playing mis-matched twins with Lily Tomlin in Big Business (1988). She also lent her voice to Georgette in the animated children's feature "Oliver and Company."
Teaming up with Bonnie Bruckheimer-Martell and Margaret Jennings South, Midler formed the production company All Girl Productions in 1988. With All Girl Productions, she produced and starred in the tear-jerker Beaches (1988), playing popular singer Cecilia 'CC' Carol Bloom, as well as sang for the Beaches' soundtrack. The Beaches soundtrack spawned the mega-hit single "Wind Beneath My Wings" which skyrocketed to No. 1 on the Billboard's singles chart in June of 1989. Moreover, she won a Grammy for Record of the Year.
In the 1990s, Midler played the role of a blue-collar mother in Stella (1990), and scored another hit with her twelve-studio album Some People's Lives (1990). The album produced the huge hit "From a Distance," which won a Grammy for Song of the Year. She next acted opposite Woody Allen in Scenes from a Mall (1991) before delivering a bright turn as Dixie Leonard in the WWII drama For the Boys (1991, opposite James Caan).
Midler won a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical, as well as earned a nomination at the Oscars. The same year, she also launched the 1991's For the Boys soundtrack.
Midler guest starred in the second-to-last episode of the long running "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" (1992), singing Carson's favorite song "One for the Road." With her memorable performance, Midler won an Emmy for Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program and an American Comedy for Funniest Female Performer in a TV Special (Leading or Supporting) Network, Cable or Syndication.
She returned to the wide screen in 1993 with a starring role along side Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy, as a trio of witches, in the fantasy comedy Hocus Pocus, and portrayed Mama Rose in CBS’ television remake of the stage musical "Gypsy" (1993), where she also worked for the Gypsy soundtrack. Due to Midler's outstanding acting, she took home a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Movie or Miniseries. The same year, she also released the album Experience the Divine (1993), and next launched Bette of Roses in 1995
Playing the small part of Doris Saphron in Get Shorty (1995), Midler nabbed an American Comedy for Funniest Female in a Supporting Role in Film. She worked with Goldie Hawn and Diane Keaton for the hit comedy The First Wives Club (1996) and starred opposite Dennis Farina in That Old Feeling (1997) before vanishing from the big screen for a few years.
In 1997, Midler headlined the HBO special "Bette Midler in Concert: Diva Las Vegas." Her outstanding performance on the show won several awards, including an Emmy for Outstanding Performance in a Variety or Music Program, two CableACE Awards for Music Special or Series and Performance in a Music Special or Series, and an American Comedy for Funniest Female Performer in a TV Special (Leading or Supporting) Network, Cable or Syndication. She went back to recording studio in 1998 for the Bathhouse Betty album.
In the new millennium, Midler released Bette, and returned to films with Danny DeVito and Neve Campbell for the feature comedy Drowning Mona (2000), starred as Jacqueline Susann in the biopic Isn't She Great (2000) and made a cameo in What Women Want (2000, starring Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt). She also had her own sitcom on CBS’ "Bette" (2000), playing herself as wife, mother and diva, and won a TV Guide award for Actress of the Year in a New Series, a People's Choice, as well as earned a Golden Globe nomination. However, the series was quickly axed in early 2001.
Disappearing from the scene in 2003, Midler rejoined Barry Manilow for Bette Midler Sings The Rosemary Clooney Songbook (2003). The album became her best-selling album in almost fifteen years and received a nomination at the Grammys for Best Pop Vocal Album.
Midler was back in 2004 to star in the glossy remake of The Stepford Wives (2004, opposite Nicole Kidman and Glenn Close). She will soon play a role in the upcoming The Meddlers (2005), and is scheduled to portray Linda Ashford in Simon Beaufoy’s In the Pink (2007).[/SPOILER]

Еще одна биография Бетт, судя по всему более поздняя
[SPOILER]Bette Midler (born December 1, 1945) is an American singer, actress and comedian, also known (as her informal stage name) as The Divine Miss M. During her career, she has won four Grammy Awards, four Golden Globes, three Emmy Awards, and a Tony Award, and has been nominated for two Academy Awards. She is currently performing a new concert show, The Showgirl Must Go On, live five nights a week as one of the current headliners at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas (together with Cher and Elton John).
Biography
[B]Early life[/B]
Midler was born in Honolulu, Hawaii.[1] She is the daughter of Ruth (nйe Schindel), a seamstress and housewife, and Fred Midler, a house painter who worked at a Navy base in Hawaii.[2][3] Her parents were from Paterson, New Jersey and moved to Honolulu shortly before Midler was born. She was named after the actress Bette Davis although Davis pronounced her first name in two syllables, and Midler uses one (/bɛt/). Midler's family was one of the few Jewish families in a mostly Asian neighborhood.[4] She was raised in nearby Aiea and attended Radford High School(Senior Photo[5]) in Honolulu. She was voted in Hoss Election 1961 "Most Talkative" and in her Senior Year (Class of 1963) "Most Dramatic".[6] She majored in drama at the University of Hawaii (though she only attended for three semesters),[7] and earned money in the film Hawaii (released in 1966) as an extra, playing a seasick passenger.
[B]Career[/B]
In 1965, she relocated to New York City after using the money she got for playing an extra, and landed her first professional onstage role in Tom Eyen's Off-Off-Broadway plays in 1965, Miss Nefertiti Regrets and Cinderella Revisited, a children's play by day and an adult show by night.[8] From 1966 to 1969 she played the role of Tzeitel in Fiddler on the Roof on Broadway; during this period her sister Judith, visiting New York to see her perform, was killed by a taxi cab.[citation needed]
In 1970, Midler began singing in the Continental Baths, a gay bathhouse in the city, where she became close to her piano accompanist, Barry Manilow, who produced her first major album, The Divine Miss M, in 1973.
“ Despite the way things turned out [with the AIDS crisis], I'm still proud of those days [singing at gay bathhouses]. I feel like I was at the forefront of the gay liberation movement, and I hope I did my part to help it move forward. So, I kind of wear the label of 'Bathhouse Betty' with pride.[9]
”
In 1971, Midler starred in the first ever professional production of The Who's rock opera Tommy with director Richard Pearlman and the Seattle Opera.[10]
In 1974, she received a Special Tony Award for her contribution to Broadway for her Clams on the Half Shell Revue at the Palace Theater. In 1979 she played the title role of a 1960s drug-addicted rock star, modeled after Janis Joplin, in The Rose, for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress. For the period of 1975–1978, she provided the voice of Woody the Spoon on the PBS educational series Vegetable Soup.
In 1981 she worked on the troubled project Jinxed!, a comedy in which she neither got along with her costar (Ken Wahl) or the film's director (veteran Don Siegel). Released in 1982, the film was a major flop. Midler wouldn't appear in another film again until 1986.
In 1985, she was a performer on USA for Africa's fund-raising single We Are the World, and participated at the 'Live Aid' event at JFK stadium in Philadelphia.
That same year, she signed a multi-picture deal with Touchstone Pictures. She was subsequently cast by director Paul Mazursky in Down and Out in Beverly Hills, beginning a successful comedic acting career. She followed that up with Ruthless People (1986), Outrageous Fortune (1987), and Big Business (1988). She also scored a hit with the 1988 tearjerker Beaches, costarring Barbara Hershey. She lent her voice to the animated character Georgette, a snobbish poodle, in Disney's Oliver & Company (1989). In 1990 she costarred with Woody Allen (sporting a ponytail) in Scenes from a Mall, again for Mazursky. She earned another Academy Award nomination as Best Actress for 1991's For the Boys costarring with James Caan and directed by Mark Rydell, who had also directed The Rose. She reportedly turned down the lead role in 1992's Sister Act.
Her other films include Hocus Pocus (1993), The First Wives Club (1996), and The Stepford Wives. Her television work includes an Emmy-nominated version of the stage musical Gypsy.
Midler won an Emmy Award in 1992 for her memorable performance on the final episode of The Tonight Show in May of that year, during which she sang an emotion-laden "One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)" to Johnny Carson. There was speculation later that there was a falling out between Midler and the only other guest on the show, Robin Williams. It was perceived that Midler had stolen the limelight from Williams. However, the rumors of a feud between them have been denied by both Williams and Midler, and they have since appeared together on several other talk shows, including The Rosie O'Donnell Show in 2003. After her Tonight Show appearance, Midler told USA Today, "It was a great night. Robin and I had a fabulous time, and we'll never forget it."
She had her own short-lived CBS sitcom Bette (2000-01). Although the initial ratings were high, numbers soon declined and in the show's short lifespan her daughter (played by Lindsay Lohan in the pilot, then by Marina Malota starting with the third episode) and her husband were recast (Robert Hays succeeded Kevin Dunn in the final episode aired). The show was reportedly rocked by backstage turmoil, and did not last a full season. Also in 2001, Bette or Bust, a book chronicling Midler's Divine Miss Millennium Tour was released.
She has won four Grammy Awards including the 1973 Best New Artist and the prestigious Record of the Year in 1989 for the # 1 hit "Wind Beneath My Wings", the theme from Beaches. Her rendition of the 1990 "From a Distance" also earned her a Grammy and is another of her most popular songs. When the American Film Institute announced "The 100 years of the Greatest Songs" on June 22, 2004, two of her hits were selected by the board: "Wind Beneath My Wings" (#44) and "The Rose" (#83). After years of declining sales, however, Bette was officially dropped from Warner Brothers in 2001.
After a long-standing feud with Barry Manilow, the two joined forces for the first time in twenty years in 2003 to record "Bette Midler Sings the Rosemary Clooney Songbook." Of the project, Barry said he had a dream that he was recording with Bette again, so he called her up with the idea and she agreed that it was due time to work together again. They got Columbia Records on board and the album was an instant success, going gold in only a few short weeks.One of the songs from Rosemary Clooney Songbook "This Ole House" became Bettes first Christian radio single shipped by Rick Hendrix and his positive music movement. The album was one of her best-selling albums in twenty years, and was nominated for a Grammy the following year. Midler also starred in the 2004 Stepford Wives as Joanna Eberhart's best friend Bobbie Markowitz. It grossed 100 million worldwide.
In 2003–2004 Midler toured her new show Kiss My Brass to sell-out crowds around the United States. In early 2005, Kiss My Brass Down Under was equally successful in Australia. After the success of her last album, Columbia Records considered releasing a live album, but it never came to pass. Instead, Bette joined forces again with Barry Manilow for another tribute album, Bette Midler Sings the Peggy Lee Songbook. Released in October 2005, the album sold 55,000 copies the first week of release and debuted at #10.
Midler has guest-starred on The Simpsons in the episode "Krusty Gets Kancelled". Midler is first seen traversing a highway picking up trash when she is approached by Bart and Lisa with a request for Midler to appear on a show to revive Krusty's dying career. She appeared on Seinfeld in the episode "The Understudy," which was the season finale of that show's sixth season. She also appeared on The Nanny in the aptly titled episode "You Bette Your Life".
In 2006, a new Christmas album Cool Yule was released by Midler featuring the title song (written by Steve Allen) and a duet with Johnny Mathis of "Winter Wonderland/Let It Snow". Midler next starred in the 2007 film Then She Found Me, directed by Helen Hunt and starring Hunt, Matthew Broderick and Colin Firth, and appeared on the American Idol (season 6) finale, singing "The Wind Beneath My Wings" live at the Kodak Theatre.
On December 6, 2007, Midler's album Cool Yule was given a Grammy nomination for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
Bette Midler has a Vegas show titled "Bette Midler: The Showgirl Must Go On" at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.[11] The show has approximately 100 shows[11] for a two year run.[7] The show is comprised of The Staggering Harlettes, twenty female dancers and a thirteen piece band.[11] The show debuted on February 20, 2008.[11][12]
[B]Personal life[/B]
Midler's manager and boyfriend for a significant period was Aaron Russo.
Midler married Martin von Haselberg (Harry Kipper of her opening act the Kipper Kids) on December 16, 1984 in a chapel in Las Vegas. They had a daughter, Sophie Frederica Alohilani von Haselberg, on November 14, 1986. Sophie is currently a student at Yale University.
[B] Charity work[/B]
In 1995, Midler founded the New York Restoration Project, a non-profit organization with the goal of revitalizing neglected neighborhood parks in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods of New York City. These include Highbridge Park, Fort Washington Park, and Fort Tryon Park in upper Manhattan and Roberto Clemente State Park and Bridge Park in the Bronx.
In 1999, the city planned to auction 114 community gardens for commercial development. Midler led a coalition of greening organizations to save them. NYRP took ownership of 60 of the most neglected plots. Today Midler and her organization work with local volunteers and community groups to ensure that these gardens are kept safe, clean and vibrant. In 2003, Midler opened Swindler Cove Park, a new five-acre public park on the Harlem River shore featuring specially designed educational facilities and the Peter Jay Sharp Boathouse, the first community rowing facility to be built on the Harlem River in more than 100 years. The organization offers free in-school and after-school environmental education programming to students from high-poverty Title I schools.[/SPOILER]
