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?"

Classic Bette at the 1982 Oscars

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

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.

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.
