Both Bette and Liza got special Tonys that year for "adding lustre to the Broadway Season"

Bettes was for Clams on the Half Shell at the Minskoff

My memory may be faulty, but I never thought the Tony committee was doing Midler and Minnelli a favor. I thought the Theatre Wing was upping the star wattage of its broadcast.

While you're at You Tube, don't miss the short clip of Bette Midler answering the question, "Will you ever work with Shelly Long again?"

My favorite Bette award moment was with the almost-fellatio with the Golden Globe. Sure it's on You Tube. Too lazy to look for it.

Why Bette's turned down hosting the Oscars I'll never understand.

Thank you for posting this. It is a great reminder of why we do what we do.

Why Bette's turned down hosting the Oscars I'll never understand.

For the same reason she turned down invitations to be a presenter after her 1982 appearance: she knows when to leave her audience wanting more.
