GREAT READING, FASCINATING CAREER!

Not everyone over fifty may be able to remember the significant details of their third grade classmates, but I can, and Bette would remember, too. Her memories run long and deep. Bette Midler is talent, creativity and pizzaz unlimited. We all must start our careers somewhere, and Bette has come a long way from a pineapple factory worker in Hawaii to a illustrious, top-of-the world entertainer. She has played a host of characters, and often odd, characters over the years, but the one constant in her career has been her musical ability. She can belt out a song with gusto and enthusiasm or mellow it down to an emotional, heart-rendering performance. Who can forget the, The Rose", the infamous "Wind Beneath My Wings" from the movie, "Beaches" or the poignant rendition of, "My One True Friend" from the movie, "One True Thing?" This book is jam-packed with nostalgia, information and events in both Bette Midler's personal and career life. She is the type of lady one would like to get to know better, both for her compassionate side, her strength and perserverance, and her endless witty humour. Overall, this is a great biography and well worth reading.

The best portrayal of the personal Bette

I cannot even describe how great this book is! I plan to be an actress and he not only gave a great great description of the most wonderful person in the world (Bette) he also got me to know how things work in Hollywood! I think this is an amazing book!

Bette is GOD!

I absolutely love Bette! She has been my idol for many years and I know that I am the most devoted and the biggest Bette fan ever! This book is really good and goes far in depth about the divine, but there aren't that many pictures. But, the pics that there are, are obviously fantastic, there can not be a bad picture of Bette anywhere. She is the most fantasticly wounderful ever (along with Janeane Garofalo and Stockard Channing). Bette rocks!

Bette Midler is someone Special,George Mair showed that.

As i Said before,Bette Midler is a special person,and the way George Mair showed this was a Unique (?)and Interesting way. It was Easy to follow,and was not hard to read,even I , A 12 Year old can read it,though it is Well Expressed and use's Discriptive words.I enjoyed this book,and for all those Bette Followers out there, you will too.
