My brother made it to this. He died in 1984. We both loved her, she is such a class act. We saw her in Houston, the summer before he died. Glad we could share it together. She made you feel it.All the emotions in one show

No one can convey feelings, in a song, better than The Divine Miss M.

@YoyoMammogram no she does not. she started out singing cabaret at the continental bathhouse in NY, got the nickname "Bathhouse Betty" and was a big hit on the gay scene, and obviously being in showbiz had a lot of gay friends. she did a lot of aids benefits and charity work. she has said that the people she started out with are nearly ALL dead from aids now and its a cause close to her heart.

[YoyoMammogram]

Does she have AIDS?

[rissleep]

[SoldMySoulToYou]

[dustbugger]

I love how in the end, everyone is singing backup for her!! And That is my favorite dress that she wears in For The Boys (the Japan scene). Bette is soooo amazing!
