[ILoveFranDrescher1]

the girl in the green dress looks like the lady in STELLA as like her bar tending friend i believe(:

[yieldyieldyield]

@ILoveFranDrescher1 Yes it is Linda Hart, the same lady. BTW I luv Franny too!

[laportama]

[MissDaisy1967]

who is the guy sitting at the table? not the guy interviewing...

[203peppermint]

That,s Bette--- FANTASTIC

[Kaalec]

I have been a fan of Bette since her first album. Especially the jazz, swing and blues songs. What a masterful live performer she is. Funny, original and wild, but always spot on the music.

[om92555]

burtihal is right. That is not Katey Sagal. She toured later with Bette. This is funny though.

[burtihal]

Sorry, that's not Katey Segal. The three Harlettes here are Franny Eisenberg McCartney (blue), Paulette McWilliams (yellow) and Linda Hart (green). Katey did not do this tour.

[Aquamontana26]

Yes, it is Katey Sagal. She was one of Bette Midler`s Backround singers called "Harlettes".

[yieldyieldyield]

No, it is Franny McCartney. Katey was a Harlette at this time, but it is Franny in this video. Linda Hart, Franny Eisenberg (McCartney), and Paulette McWilliams. Katey and Franny bore a striking resemblance.

[dramadork08]

she leaves me laughing for days from one joke(:

[runawayjury]

I'm pretty sure it is Katey Sagal in the blue.

[bassandguitarguy]

Bette's 63 today, 12-01-08 and funny as ever!

Keep goin' Bette!

[pinkreina]

isn't the backup singer in the blue, katey segal?

[daveheel]

it doesn't look like katey

[Zencat24]

Thanks so much for posting this. I remember seeing this Parkinson show in 1979 and being blown away by her divineness. She was like a breath of fresh air.

[lalagonegaga]

WOW! FABULOUS!

[StoneyEnd444]

betteeeee strip for us babeeeeeeeee!!!!

[llamalauren]

This must of been before or after a Divine Madness show, because thats the exact same dress she wore (if anyone hasn't pointed that out yet) :P

[marinusvh]

Yes, you're right. This was when she did the Divine Madness show in Europe.

[divinejulia]

LMFAO! Love it! Wow, 3 years before I was born... Long live the Divine! I wanna see if I have the correct Harlettes here. I know in the green is Linda Hart, in the yellow is Paulette McWilliams, & in the blue is Franny Eisenberg, correct?

[marinusvh]

Yes, I think you're right. I have the Divine Madnessvideo on VHS, but it's stored in a box. I'll check it out when I can.

[dapatry1]

This is so great. I just love Bette! :)

Thanks for this! :)

Taker Easy & Peace!

[Gilmore1316]

[marinusvh]

You're welcome, Gilmore, It's so great sharing video's like this with fans!

[llfan2006]

Thank you so much for posting this video! Bette was truly at her best during this period. Thanks again for posting such an awesome video!!!!

[marinusvh]

You're very welcome, llfan2006.

[Xhayley16X]

I love this video and being British i love Micheal Parkinson, for anyone who is wondering who the hell he is, well he is the British version of Johnny Carson and is quite respected here, as Johnny was in America, thanks For the post, You Gotta love Bette, so is so funny,

[marinusvh]

Yes, I love her since her shows were broadcasted here in the Netherlands in the late 70's. When I saw the film The Rose I became a huge fan. I hope she will tour again in Europe soon. The last time was about 30 years ago (for as far as I know).

Is Michael Parkinson still in the business? I love the moment when he tries not to laugh at 4.33, but hopelessly fails, lol.

[Xhayley16X]

I don't think she will ever tour Europe ever again coz she is getting a little old to be doing anything like that, she is planning on retiring after Vegas, and Michael Parkinson has retired, but still does the odd advertisment for television, yes he is always trying not to laugh , he did it again when she was on in 2006,

[marinusvh]

Maybe she can do a final farewell tour through Europe after Vegas. I'm sure it would be a sold out tour. We'll see.

[stphncrmr]

Great video! thanks for uploading. quick question: who is the guy in the white jacket??

[marinusvh]

That's Raoul Heertje, a dutch comedian. This video is part of a show broadcasted a few years ago on dutch television. Raoul Heertje was the main guest and the clips they showed were about his favourite artists, subjects and films.

[muhie711]

Thank you so much for this!

[marinusvh]

You're welcome!
