@cakeaterdan: Larry King interviewed Bette Midler in 1997 on an episode of Larry King Live. She discussed her early career as a singer at the Continental Baths in 1971, where she performed with Barry Manilow. Her performances were known for their mix of camp and heart, which resonated deeply with the audience, and the resulting exposure led to a record deal with Atlantic Records and her debut album, The Divine Miss M. #larryking #bettemidler
