Bette Midler: Jackpot

By Christian John Wikane

For the already converted, Jackpot confirms Midler's greatness, but for those who only know the Bette Midler of feature films and adult contemporary radio, Jackpot is something of a revelation. [7 November 2008]

Bette

By Michael Abernethy

As anyone who has seen one of Midler's concerts knows, excessive behavior is her forte. [1 January 1995]
